We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable, with complimentary drinks that added a thoughtful touch. The entire staff was kind and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. A special thank-you goes to Raichel, who went above and beyond after we accidentally left our suitcase behind. Her dedication and personal care were truly exceptional — she not only arranged the transfer but also made sure to follow up directly with our next hotel. Service like this is rare and deeply appreciated. Definitely a place we’d love to return to!

We loved it here so we stayed many days longer than planned. Amazing location, next to beach, great restaurant, wine bar you can use every day (they say for free but you actually pay it once you get your invoice - some kind of tax again). Very nice cleaning ladies l, good pool and nice rooms.

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.

What Guests Said About Monterey:

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is spectacular!

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is spectacular! Give your self a good 3 to 4 hours to explore at your leisure. Our grandson (age 2) couldn't get enough of it. He also thoroughly enjoyed the "Dennis the Menace" Park. The Cannery which is next door to the Aquarium is fun place to browse and enjoy lunch at one of the nearby restaurants. Fisherman's Wharf has turned into a tourist trap over the years so I would not recommend it.

I had the best time and will definitely be back!

I had the best time and will definitely be back! As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe as I was visiting beaches, walking the streets downtown, hiking the state parks, etc. It was a clean and beautiful city with so much to do! If you have the opportunity - you MUST do a whale watching tour! I did the morning 4 hour tour through Monterey Bay Whale Watch and it was incredible! The only thing I did that felt like a bit of a waste was the aquarium - it is promoted heavily around town and I'm not sure if it's just because I've been to so many other better aquariums, but it felt overpriced and extremely small.

There was blood on the front door, the room was not clean.

There was blood on the front door, the room was not clean. The mirror was broken and the window was missing the screens. I brought two cars and the person at the front desk said I needed to park one of my cars at the business next door and said don’t worry about their private parking signs in the business next door parking lot. It was so gross in the bathroom, there was black hair all over the shower and bathroom floor and the bed blankets smelled so bad you can tell they have not been washed in months. I will never recommend that place to anyone. And I was over charged- I paid 400$/ night and the next day when I left their website said 78$ per night. It was embarrassing.

I like that the room is big and clean, but they should have 2 trash cans in the room instead of 1. We stayed there for 3 nights. We didn’t ask for cleaning service the next day, but on the 2nd day we left in the morning came back in the room around 3 pm expecting that our room would be cleaned and ready, but we were disappointed that it hasn’t been cleaned yet. Good thing the cleaner was next door cleaning that room. We just asked for some fresh towels and to empty the trash can. They have reasonable price.

The town felt both quaintly and historically antiquated, yet superbly modern. For example, the aquarium seemed both historic while also avant guarde in ecological and environmental studies. Bravo to one and to all, I hereby resolve.

The hotel was so cute from the outside! The rooms were spacious and clean and comfortable and everything we'd hoped for. The best part was the staff! Probably the most friendly and helpful staff we'd met along our road trip! They had wonderful knowledge of the area and shared many tips with us, we would have missed the Monterey farmer's market, and the Butter House without them :P Thank you very much!

Amicable staff. We got a pack with edible goodies at the check-in. The room is OK, but the bathroom is too cold (we stayed during winter). Wlakable distance to Cannery RowUpon check-in, we were greeted by friendly staff and given a package of snacks. The room was satisfactory, but the bathroom felt too chilly during our winter stay. The hotel's distance from Cannery Row is walkable.

The hotel is just down the street from Cannery Row and an easy 15-20 walk to downtown Monterey. It is reasonably priced compared to anything else you're going to find at this location. I liked not having to worry about getting breakfast before going out for the day.
