Continental breakfast had a good variety of choices and nice touch that it was delivered to the room on time. Location is great. Room was quiet even though overlooking Cannery Row. Felt safe walking around at night to restaurants and bars. Staff was very attentive.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable, with complimentary drinks that added a thoughtful touch. The entire staff was kind and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. A special thank-you goes to Raichel, who went above and beyond after we accidentally left our suitcase behind. Her dedication and personal care were truly exceptional — she not only arranged the transfer but also made sure to follow up directly with our next hotel. Service like this is rare and deeply appreciated. Definitely a place we’d love to return to!

Perfectly located right in the center of town, with lots of restaurants within one block and only a few minutes walk to the aquarium. Being able to park the car in the garage and being able to leave it there until 4 pm after checking out was so helpful. The way the hotel was built, it had a courtyard with two firepits and ample seating which made us forget that we were in the middle of town! The room was clean and the beds comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

FAQs about hotels in Monterey

A Wild Coastline and Even Wilder Sealife

Known for beautifully undulating coastline attracting a wealth of wildlife, laid-back Monterey is on a small peninsula. Though now more famous for Monterey Jack cheese, it was once an important sardine fishing town. Some former canning factories now house galleries and shops on a street renamed Cannery Row after a novel by John Steinbeck. A museum and his former home in nearby Salinas can be visited.

The fantastic Monterey Bay Aquarium houses a fascinating range of local sealife, which is so prevalent here that you can often see seals basking on craggy beaches, or sea lions roaring away under piers in Fisherman’s Wharf. Whalewatching tours also depart from here.

South is the Monterey State Historic Park, site of historic buildings including Custom House and the Old Whaling Station with a path made from whalebone. To the east are a couple of Monterey hotels on the beach on Booking.com, and there are also several Monterey hotels with indoor pools.

Right by Monterey Peninsula Airport is one of the city’s 7 golf courses, and there are 3 golf courses near the Laguna Seca Raceway.

Whether you’re here for the Monterey Jazz Festival, or for driving the Big Sur Pacific coast road to the south, if you’re staying with kids, don’t forget to check out the Dennis the Menace Park.

There was blood on the front door, the room was not clean.

There was blood on the front door, the room was not clean. The mirror was broken and the window was missing the screens. I brought two cars and the person at the front desk said I needed to park one of my cars at the business next door and said don’t worry about their private parking signs in the business next door parking lot. It was so gross in the bathroom, there was black hair all over the shower and bathroom floor and the bed blankets smelled so bad you can tell they have not been washed in months. I will never recommend that place to anyone. And I was over charged- I paid 400$/ night and the next day when I left their website said 78$ per night. It was embarrassing.

I like that the room is big and clean, but they should have 2 trash cans in the room instead of 1. We stayed there for 3 nights. We didn’t ask for cleaning service the next day, but on the 2nd day we left in the morning came back in the room around 3 pm expecting that our room would be cleaned and ready, but we were disappointed that it hasn’t been cleaned yet. Good thing the cleaner was next door cleaning that room. We just asked for some fresh towels and to empty the trash can. They have reasonable price.

The town felt both quaintly and historically antiquated, yet superbly modern. For example, the aquarium seemed both historic while also avant guarde in ecological and environmental studies. Bravo to one and to all, I hereby resolve.

The Monterey Bay aquarium was top notch, not only with animals, but facilities and numerous volunteers. The area is beautiful and weather was fabulous. We had the absolute best clam chowder, so fresh. Plus we could watch the otters, seals and dolphins in the kelp beds from the window as we ate.

Amicable staff. We got a pack with edible goodies at the check-in. The room is OK, but the bathroom is too cold (we stayed during winter). Wlakable distance to Cannery RowUpon check-in, we were greeted by friendly staff and given a package of snacks. The room was satisfactory, but the bathroom felt too chilly during our winter stay. The hotel's distance from Cannery Row is walkable.

Nice hotel with an A1 location on Cannery Row in Monterey - great base from which to explore Monterey and the surrounding Monterey/Carmel area. Nice large rooms with all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. We had a sea-view room and loved watching (and listening!) to the sea-lions and sea otters swimming just a few yards from our balcony.
