Renamed after John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, this historic area has transformed since the gritty industrial days described in the book.

Cannery Row was a busy sardine canning district, until the industry collapsed after overfishing. The grand old warehouses have been repurposed and today a vibrant blend of old and new make Cannery Row look quite attractive indeed. One warehouse has the amazing Monterey Bay Aquarium. Galleries, boutiques, historical attractions and restaurants fill the other warehouses. And, because of its setting on Monterey Bay, Cannery Row is always good for great ocean views.

No parking needed. The facility looked decent on the outside, but very dated and run down on the inside. It's a place to sleep for the night. The Becks motel/hotel in the Castro was a much better experience. Some older hotels just have that lived in look.

Having a sitting room separate from the bedroom was nice.
