FAQs about hotels in Monterey









A Wild Coastline and Even Wilder Sealife

Known for beautifully undulating coastline attracting a wealth of wildlife, laidback Monterey is set on a small peninsula. Though now more famous for Monterey Jack cheese, it was once an important sardine fishing town. Some ex-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.

    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!

    The aquarium is awesome. There are beautiful parks around the city great for walking or jogging. There are many different types of restaurants to choose from and conveniently located from motels. Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf are a great place for shopping.

    This is one of the most beautiful places in California with the Peninsula to the North and Carmel to Big Sur to the South Redwoods and spectacular sea scape . I felt that this motel/hotel was well furnished internally. The room itself was very good in fact stylish just didn't think it was value for the money compared to the the 8 other recent Hotels we have stayed at in the last month.

    The hotel was a small one but all the needed items including microwave was made available in the hotel room. There was no breakfast served but an alternative breakfast biscuits with a choice of tea/coffe was also provided. It was my first time in Monterey, I had checked out at 11am but due to having a wedding at 2pm, I was still allowed to use one of the rooms to change into my wedding guest outfit. Friendly staff and good environment and just 8 minutes to the beach with varieties of food around.

    my husband and I stayed in one of the king rooms with ocean view balcony and sofa bed, and we absolutely loved all the space and the incredible view. We also made use of the hot tub on the roof, which was very relaxing. The hotel is conveniently located on Cannery Row, easily accessible by car and putting many restaurants and attractions within walking distance. The in-room breakfast wasn’t anything amazing but it was enough to be filling and it was nice to have it delivered.

    I like how they tried to get the lowest level room as possible since my father is a senior and has a hard time to walk and there is no elevator. They accept our dogs at the hotel and cheap rate for them to stay at the hotel. The room was decent and we were close to the pool and had a pretty good view. Close drive to the freeway and Monterey downtown, Fishermans wharf. Gas station is right in the same parking lot as the hotel.

    The property of the hotel is big, clean and looking good. We were greeted and helped by very friendly staff. The room was larger than expected and everything was clean and looked up to date. The hotel is within walking distance of good restaurants and the fisherman's wharf. They offer free parking and good WiFi. We enjoyed our night here and recommend this hotel to anyone who's visiting Monterey!

    The location is perfect, right next to the rec trail, cannery row and the sea. You can see wild otters, seals and sea lions within a few minutes walk of the hotel. The room was big with a good shower and huge, comfortable bed. It also had a coffee maker, fridge, and microwave. There is cutlery, plates, and hot drinks (including hot water) available in the reception area.

    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.

    Read reviews only after booking Hotel Pacific and was a little worried abt the hotel room and some of the not-quite-good reviews. Upon checking in, we are quite pleased with the cleanliness of the room and the size was good for our family of 4. Bed & restroom are clean, Breakfast was decent with bacon & bread/pastry.
