Walking distance to a great beach, about a ten minute walk. The gas igniter for the wood burning fireplace made it real easy to have a cozy fire at night. They replenished the wood box daily. Our cabin had a lovely private patio.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

This aquarium resides where sardine factories once stood. Now, the site harbours an ocean’s worth of species. The main exhibit’s huge single-pane window is all that stands between you and four million litres of water. Watch schools of fish scuttle away from lurking sharks and lurching turtles. For fur-filled underwater acrobatics, swing by the sea otter zone at feeding time.

the aquarium is beautiful and the sea life is amazing but they don't limit the number of people in so you are packed in like sardines the whole time with people elbowing you. You have to push in and wait in lines to see every exhibit.

Took my 83 year old mother to the aquarium and we had a delightful day! Would strongly recommend arriving early! We had to make reservations before going and opted for the earliest entrance and were so happy we did because were able to get in quickly, get a wheel chair easily and had no problem manuevering around crowds. By early afternoon there were many people and we were done by 3 in the afternoon and were able to go eat down the street afterwards.

The staff at the front desk was very warm and friendly both times when checking in and checking out. I really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast in the building of the lobby -- there were a lot of options and the food was good! The location is a very short and convenient walk to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Clean, straight forward. Parking should be included within the nightly stay though. Loved that the facility was great walking distance to go restaurants, the Monterey Bay Aquarium (approximately 10 minute ) galleries, unique shops and tourist haunts; and to Whale watching tours. (15-20 minute walk) Stayed in room 105 which has a King bed with fireplace, desk, and we appreciated the private deck and patio furniture set up.
