A fireplace and air conditioning in all rooms allow guests to enjoy this B&B in any season. Each room offers cable TV with satellite and pay-per-view channels available. En suite bathrooms are offered with either bathtub or shower. Free toiletries are provided.

The accommodation was just what we were looking for. The hospitality and welcome was exceptional. We were sorry we weren’t able to stay for breakfast as we had to leave earlier than 9am but thank you so much for the lovely goody bag (lovely muffins) that we took with us along with some freshly brewed coffee in a travel cup. Everything at The Inn has been carefully thought out to make customers feel welcome.

    Location was great, convenient to walking around and exploring Cannery Row. Some might find it annoying to be right in the middle of crowds of tourists. However, I am used to it and found it great to access plenty of restaurants and shops. The hotel itself was very clean and inviting. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly and responsive.

    The room was lovely with very comfy beds, was well equipped and also had a nice bathroom. Loved the wooden floors! Great to have the pool facility which was very clean and well stocked with towels for the end of the day. Location was ideal for walking into Monteray - just a short walk to Alvarado street and to the wharf. Plenty of parking - but in my view should be included already in the cost of the room. Was disappointed to have to pay extra.

    The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Best bed I've slept in for months - excellent firmness and perfect bedding. The room was more spacious than anticipated and had a nice balcony. The bathroom was very clean and in good condition. The parking was close to the room and the area felt safe. The location was ideal for seeing the historical area and then walking along the seafront path to Cannery Row and the Aquarium.
