Liked that our room had a designated parking space right in front of our room and a patio with seating out the back slider door. Also liked that they had fire pit areas with outdoor patio furniture, but didn't like that we couldn't use the fire pits after 10pm. We were still able to sit out there, but it was cold.

This property has a great location. It is 10 minute walk to the wharf and a short drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The room is clean and comfortable. The water pressure for the shower is good, but the faucet pressure is weak. They will nickel and dime you on the charges. Check in time is 4pm and we got there at 3pm. The still charged us $30. for early check-in. They are pet friendly, but they charge $40. per pet. These charges add up. Overall, nice lodge, and would stay here again.
