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.

    Cannery Row is a bit of a tourist trap, but if you head away from the beach you quickly access the restaurants of Lighthouse Avenue, including Hula - Hawaian food. If I had my time again, I would have tried to stay nearer to the Acquariam, even as far west as Pacific Grove (technically the next town along), near the delights of Happy Girl Kitchen.

    I love the ocean.

    I love the ocean. There are just so many great little beaches to visit. Monterey has so much Sea life too. We saw harbor seals, otters, elephant seals, too late for the Monarch Butterflys, tons of birds, just from the walking paths! We actually walked from Monterey to Pacific Grove. There are also loads of shops, and restaurants.

    My trip to Monterey Bay was amazing, due to how beautiful the scenery was and how close everything was to were I stayed. The Wave Street In was a great hotel to stay in because the aquarium and many restaurants are so close to it you can walk everywhere and not worry about parking. The hotel was also great as everything was clean and the staff was very helpful.

    Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

    Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Pre-book tickets online to avoid the ticket lines. Get their map and event schedule and get to events about 15 minutes prior for best positioning. Parking and food is cheaper the farther away from aquarium you go.

    Getting around Monterey is so easy!

    Getting around Monterey is so easy! For tourists, there are only a couple of main streets. Cannery Row is a great place to be—bicycle rides, some of the best burgers in town, and Starbucks. I love the old feel of Fisherman Wharf, with some of the best seafood in the county. I was thrilled with it all. I try to get down there a couple of times a year. It has excellent beaches!

    Although the property is in Old Monterey, a busy area, the hotel is quiet. The rooms seem to be secluded from the hustle and bustles of cars, people. The atmosphere is peaceful, quiet and private. We stayed in a king standard room for 2 nights and decided to stay in the one available suite for an extra night Walking distance to the triple D restaurant, old town, historical museums, shopping and Monterey’s Old Fisherman’s Wharf! A little Over a mile to cannery row.

    This is the second time my family and I have stayed at this establishment. It is a bare bones hotel, but the employees are nice and helpful. Even though it is an older property, everything was clean and in working condition. The beds were comfortable and the location was peaceful enough to get a good night's sleep. A large mall is within walking distance, so it is quite easy to find food quickly. Also, downtown Monterey is a 15 minute walk away.

Great breakfast and onsite parking was a real bonus for us too. Fantastic location to Fishermans Wharf & shopping areas and a leisurely stroll to Cannery Row and Monterey Aquarium

    My wife and I loved the nice structure of this Motel, the large room and the services. It is located in a comfortable position to reach the most iconic places of Monterey, such as The Fisherman's Wharf, The Cannery Row, The Aquarium, Carmel-by-the-sea, 17-Mile Drive. Ideal if you are driving SF-LA and want to visit Monterey. Unfortunately we stayed only one night.

    Look, it's a 5 star hotel so you get all the amenities with that - hot tubs, large rooms, comfy beds (if not super high!), very clean, room serviced multiple times a day, turn down service, lobby bar (didn't open til 5pm though). Great location, walking distance to Cannery Row, aquarium, restaurants. Quality of the breakfast food.
