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.

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.
Jade, 1-night trip

Charming historic hotel - awesome location

Love the historic nature of the building. Lots of charm, great location right in busting area of shops and restaurants. Short walk to Fisherman's Wharf - 8mins. Only 2 negatives - Street parking is a challenge but plenty of garages nearby, and our room had no chair so only place to sit was on the bed.

Arturo, 2-night trip

Great

Great location with easy free Trolley service, 2.5 blocks from Starbucks and fine dining Cibo(fabulous). Since valet parking is $30/daily, I used the wonderful trolley to get around. Staff was very welcoming and polite. The only downside, for me, was the super early morning (5:40a, 6:30a 2nd morning)loud noises…construction? housekeeping moving all kinds of furniture? I really enjoyed how close it was to everything I wanted to see.

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.

The front desk staff are very helpful and nice, everything that one would want to do in Monterey is within walking distance so it’s very convenient, and the Deluxe rooms are very cozy!!
Damian, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location and good service.

Overall everything with our stay went well. We were in the older side of the hotel, which is a bit dated, but not different than we expected. The room was small but clean and everything was in good working order. We were a bit concerned about parking options as we were hoping not to valet, and once we arrived the front desk provided us with nearby parking options. We parked on the street overnight (free for 90 minutes and from 6pm-9am). For the second night we parked in a lot about a block away, which was also free from 6pm-9am, and you could pay using the Park Mobile App, which made covering daytime hours conveinent and reasonable. It is in the heart of downtown which makes it an easy walk to local eateries and the wharf. Since we were there on a Tuesday, there was even a farmers market right outside in the evening.

Love staying at The Monterey Hotel. The fireplace suite is my favorite. We stay here every time we visit Monterey,

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.

Loved

Loved the hotels esthetic. The room was clean and the staff super friendly. Every one of them at the front desk. Parking was so easy to get. The only thing I was bummed about was the exercise room. If it had weights and treadmill it would have been perfect. I chose the hotel partially for that reason. The room we got was a bit noisy but that was more the guests fault. Overall would book again. Loved its location too. Walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf.
