The Best Hotel in Monterey, CA with a Classic Coastal Feel

Personnel very pleasant.

Went to Monterey to meet with a friend for a about a week and decided to stay at the 1252 and don’t regret it! Good sized room (I stayed in the single king bed room), quite at night and the bathroom was very spacious (which was nice) the location was perfect, the del monte shopping center is so close you could probably throw a rock and hit it, abt 10min drive to Carmel, pebble beach, downtown Monterey. Plenty of places to eat as well as shops near the hotel. I do plan on going back to Monterey and anytime I do I will be staying here again! If it’s your first time in Monterey this is a great spot to stay because everything is within a 15min drive making it super easy to check out all that Monterey has to offer!

We stayed here for just one night and we felt our stay was overall comfortable. However a longer stay may need some checks. Our room was adequately spaced for two people but had some minor issues.To state a few, the microwave didn't work, there were no extra blankets and the comforter offered was quite thin for the weather. Our room was also not ready when we arrived. We arrived after 5 pm which was almost more than an hour after the usual check-in time. We sincerely feel that wasn't very professional especially when early check-ins are usually done on a case by case basis and sometimes also charged. Having said this, the staff were cordial and accommodating but this place could do better!

Lovely grounds, great location, nice staff. Also a wonderful price!
