The location was convenient to go to both downtown Monterey and carmel. But our room remained dim even after turning on every light and lamp in both the room and the bathroom. The bathroom was also very old with the padding around the shower head exposed and the walls breaking down from all the moisture. The soap box in the room was also broken. Luckily there was a piece of soap by the sink. Overall the inn would be a place to stay if you were only in Monterey for a night, but if you are planning to stay longer, another place would be more comfortable.
