Monterey Bay Inn
We are senior citizens and found that the toilet was very low and the two arm chairs were quite low. Other than that it was nice.

Cannery Row Inn
Great location.. walking distance to Cannery Row. Room faced Foam St which was very busy and loud. Would book again, requesting room facing parking lot. Extra parking fee not disclosed when I booked.

Wave Street Inn
Great location - easy to walk to restaurants and shops. Room was clean and staff were friendly. The only thing I would say is that the shower door needs to be adjusted or needs a gasket because after a shower the floor outside was soaked.
