Julma Posted April 27, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Looking for a hotel for 2 nights before our July cruise. I'm between Monaco and Andra (which is a bit cheaper). Any advice would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice would be welcome. IMO the Andra is slightly better located - closer to more things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love to Cook! Posted May 26, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2016 We have stayed at the Monaco in the past and LOVED it! They offer a car service to the pier (extra charge). We wAlked to pikes market and found a wonderful deli a couple blocks away for breakfast. It's been a couple years since we stayed there, so I'm not sure if anything has changed.

VibeGuy Posted May 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Both are very good properties. The Andra is closer to more tourist activities and is a flat walk to the nearest light rail station. Both have restaurants worth dining at even if you're not a hotel guest. Edited May 26, 2016 by VibeGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagordita Posted May 27, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The Monaco is a Kimpton Hotel. I've stayed at a few of their properties, and I like them a lot. They don't have that bland, cookie-cutter feel that a lot of corporate chain hotels have--each one has its own look and personality. They're very comfortable, beautifully decorated, and a little bit quirky (for example: Kimpton hotels are pet-friendly, and if you didn't bring a pet, they'll loan you a bowl of goldfish for the duration of your stay). The staff seem to genuinely enjoy working there, and I've always gotten great service during my stays. The Monaco's restaurant, Sazerac, is excellent--one of my favorite places downtown.
