The location is perfect. It is close enough to every place you want to go in the area, be it Monterey, Santa Cruz, or any place in between. It's close to great cafes and ice cream and in walking distance to the beach. The rooftop deck has a view of the water and it's located on a quiet street for those who want peace and quiet. While we did not have enough time to fire up the jacuzzi, I was able to enjoy laps in the pool prior to departure - a true bonus!
