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.

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.

Very comfortable restored property. The windows are thin and the streets were noisy so ear plugs are beneficial. Fantastic, attentive staff!! Walkable to the Old Fisherman’s Wharf and Cannery Row. Would definitely stay here again.

Zero parking. Not advertised that they do not have parking. No fridge inside room. Had to get ice and keep things cold in bathroom sink., so? Brushing teeth in bathtub. No outlets. Had to make coffee on the floor. No shampoo . All kind of weird to be honest

A higher review would have been warranted had it not been for the lower level room window not secured. We could not lock the window. You can easily slide the glass window from outside to open it. It wasn't broken but management neglected to see that it had no lock mechanism available. We did not leave the room with our personal belongings in it. We informed the Front Desk. How long has it been this way.

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!
