8/10 Very good

Absolutely perfect location for those wanting to stay in Monterey. Average rooms, good cleanliness, average amenities. Parking will be a challenge and the hotel does not provide any sort of parking voucher.

4/10 Fair

We did not stay here in the end as we were on motorcycles and they didn’t offer secure parking close by.. so had to loose my money on it and booked a far better hotel.

Nice place

Great location, nice room. It was a tiny bit warm. They don't have their own parking, but public parking is very convenient and very affordable. Definitely worth the stay.

Love the charm

This hotel has lots of character and antique charm. It’s located walking distance to the wharf and lots of food nearby. The staff was all super friendly and cheerful. The topper on the cake was that they are also dog friendly!

The Monterey hotel stay

Great location to downtown Monterey. Staff was very friendly. The hotel was built in 1909, it kind of had a cool spooky feel to it. Would definitely stay again on my next visit. My only complaint is the valet price is high and you really need to valet. It didn’t feel safe to leave our car on the street.

Monterey Hotel

We had the deluxe queen suite. The setup was awesome but needed the amenities of the regular double queen rooms with fridge and microwave. The rooms we had needed chairs to sit on other than just the bed. But over all it was great. Plenty of restaurants and attractions close by. The fisherman’s wharf was minuets away walking distance.
Frank, 2-night trip

Great location, clean, lots of character, friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again.
