Great location and vibe

This is a no-frills yet charming place to stay at a great price, in a PERFECT location. Easy walk tot he Warf or the water, and right in the middle of the downtown stuff. Parking garage is also super close.

It was nice
April, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Amazingly convenient in the heart of downtown. 6 min walk to the wharf, lots of eateries and shopping. Friendly reception, comfy bed, clean. A very pleasant stay. Thing to note is that this is a historic hotel and rooms may be smaller than you might expect. If you want space to sprawl out, you might want to check their suites rooms.

Loved the historical part of the hotel and the staff were absolutely amazing.

Quaint and Convenient

The Monterey Hotel was great find. Location was really good and the hotel was quaint and charming. The public areas were a little worn out but the rooms were in good shape and the bed was very comfortable.

8/10 Very good

Great location, excellent value

I stayed for 6 nights and this spot met all my needs. Not a ton of amenities (but they did have a hot tub!) but it's so walkable right downtown on Alvarado street. Weekend nights were noisy, but overall it's a good value for the price and location. Street parking or public garage parking was easy - no need to pay for valet.

Beautiful Historic Hotel!

This hotel was very charming! While it is on the older side (we stayed in the historic side of the hotel) is was clean, comfortable and very charming. My mother and I had a lovely time here. It’s in a great spot downtown and walking distance to the pier and eateries.
