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.

Monterey is a great place to spend a few days.
Monterey is a great place to spend a few days. There is a lot to see and once you learn the one ways streets it is easy to get around. The wharf is fine, Cannery row is a tourist spot but it is fun and the aquarium is great. Food is very good in Monterey and Carmel.

Cannery Row is a bit of a tourist trap, but if you head away...
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.

Two night, great location. Although hotel dated it is comfortable, spacious, cleal and all services were excellent. Centre of everything yet quiet. Can accommodate everyone. Lots of beaches, walks, great food & activities.DympnaUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
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.JoanUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

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.

- From $245.38 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 308 reviewsI booked multiple rooms for a family vacation. The staff was excellent- super easy check in and answered all of our questions/concerns. The kids loved the pool and we all really enjoyed the hot tub. The hotel is very accessible to Monterey. One of my nephews accidentally left a gaming device behind and when we called to inquire about it they were able to locate the device and send it back to us! I found the rooms to be clean. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are traveling with family.
ErinUnited States of America - From $117.68 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 1,750 reviewsThe room is big, clean and has a microwave, and fridge.. good if they have a kettle so that we can boil water though u can get hot water from receptionist. They do have a small coffee machine in the room. It's just outside the main Monterey town area so it's still very convenient to go about . It's only 1hr drive from hotel to Pfieffer beach . 30mins drive to Bixby bridge. Parking free in the hotel. Thank you to the team who made my chk in seamless as well as keeping our rooms super clean.
Tian SengSingapore - From $106.86 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,260 reviewsThe motel has been refurbished recently and the rooms were fresh, clean and comfortable. Although the rooms at the front of the property on the main road may have been a bit noisy we had a room upstairs at the back and it was very easy to sleep. Reception staff were all helpful and friendly, especially Naomi. The hotel is located not far from Cannery Row and the Wharf and it was easy to find parking downtown. Safeway supermarket is just a couple of minutes away which is a bonus.
FionaAustralia - From $232.02 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,543 reviewsThe hotel is well situated, just walking distance away from Monterey's Cannery Row. Our room was comfortable and spacious, with the added charm of a working gas fireplace. What's more, the hotel offers a generous breakfast and a wine-tasting happy hour. What's there not to like? Just note that off-the-street garage parking is extra. Also, if you are looking for a nearby restaurant, I would strongly recommend The Sardine Factory, which serves excellent seafood.
PaulUnited States of America - From $106.86 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,260 reviewsA perfect location for events at the Monterey Fairground! Right across from the festival we went to! Also a quick run or walk down to the Bay and bike/run/walk trail. An extra big plus: the front desk staff! The reception host was amazing and just a generally wonderful person! While the hotel/motel is not a five star spot by any means (it’s all about the convenient location), her hospitality and friendly vibe made our stay extra special and all the better!ElisaUnited States of America
- From $98.51 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 2,494 reviewsThis 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.
TrvlddyUnited States of America - From $122.64 per night6.4Scored 6.4PleasantRated pleasant· 419 reviewsI 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.Garcia CharleneUnited States of America

Staff were nice and very welcoming. Great and reasonably priced drinks and appetizers at the bar. Sit and have a drink while looking at the ocean. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious and had awesome views. Fires allowed on the beach at night. Very pet friendly. Water and treats at the lobby door.

- From $117.68 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 1,750 reviewsVery clean hotel. Kind of in the middle of a tourist area, so no real feel of anything related to Monterey, Monterey Bay or Fisherman's Wharf, just a building in the middle of a tourist area. The room was very clean. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom area was very nice. There was a small fridge and microwave in the room -- both pluses. Very nice size for the room, and it was very quiet the night we stayed there,
RandallUnited States of America - From $372.19 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 1,038 reviewsBeautiful setting right on the Monterey Bay. Gorgeous views from our ocean view rooms, the sound of crashing waves under the property all day long, marine life nature sounds, one of the most relaxing hotels I’ve ever been to! Restaurant location and quality was amazing too! Nice lounge and bar area to get together with family in the evening. Great central location for excursions around the area, very walkable.
MonikaUnited States of America - From $242.34 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,882 reviewsThis hotel was a great place to relax after a few days in San Francisco. The room, restaurant and patio were lovely and a nice pool area was a bonus. The staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a good location, with the main street that leads to Old Fishermans Wharf just down the road. Monterey is a charming town with a good choice of restaurants, and a beautiful coastline.emmaUnited Kingdom
- From $372.19 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 1,038 reviewsThe location of the hotel, right on the water, is unbeatable. To wake up to the pink skies in the ocean and enjoy a coffee outside in the area between the hotel and the coffee shop was such a beautiful way to start the day (after a run along the coastline with stunning views). The staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the outdoor spa area and jacuzzis one afternoon as well.EmilieSweden
- From $248.03 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,000 reviewsWe used Monterey as a "base" to explore the Highway No. 1 as we couldn't drive all along because of the blockage of the road. So we stayed here for two nights and found the hotel to be very nice and welcoming, perfect spot to start the journey along the coast. We didn't visit any attractions in Monterey itself as the fantastic vistas along the coast were the thing we wanted to see.VolkerGermany
