Pros
- Nice rooftop deck with views of the ocean
- Flat-screen TVs and DVD players in all rooms, plus a DVD library in the lobby
- All rooms have fireplaces
- Delicious free breakfast
- Free daily cocktail hour
- Free Wi-Fi and free (limited) parking
Cons
- Rooms are small and some look unfinished
- Street is loud and not picturesque
- No fitness center (passes to nearby gym available for small fee)
Bottom Line
The 18-room Inn at Del Monte Beach doesn't look like much upon arrival -- located on a busy street between a McDonald's and a tattoo parlor, the hotel appears a bit run-down, and the hodge-podge of vintage furniture in the lobby may take some getting used to. But if you can look past the surface, the hotel has a warm feel with a cozy lobby bar, a delicious free breakfast, and an ocean-view rooftop deck where the free cocktail hour sometimes takes place. All rooms have a slightly differently look (and some are more in need of updates than others) and feature flat-screen TVs and fireplaces.
