kkirklan Report post Posted March 6, 2004 This is a cozy 3* hotel that does not reflect the generic large hotel that the name "Hilton" sometimes implies. This is a fairly small hotel laid out in a courtyard style--large pool in center with rooms with balconies overlooking. It is only 2 floors (maybe 3 in places). Nice hot tub area. Rooms were on the small side, but pleasant. There is a $10 per night fee for parking, which is a bit ridiculous since you can park nearby and walk a bit for free, but for the convenience of being on-site, the fee is not unbearable. The best perk is the complimentary high speed internet access in the lobby--I booked another Priceline hotel while staying there!The hotel itself is located a bit away from downtown. It is necessary to have a car to explore the Cannery Row area. But if you are just looking for nice, inexpensive lodging, with a nice restaurant and bar area, you would not need to visit the more touristy downtown area of Monterey. Share this post Link to post
