Perfectly located right in the center of town, with lots of restaurants within one block and only a few minutes walk to the aquarium. Being able to park the car in the garage and being able to leave it there until 4 pm after checking out was so helpful. The way the hotel was built, it had a courtyard with two firepits and ample seating which made us forget that we were in the middle of town! The room was clean and the beds comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

We booked this last minute on Booking.com and I was worried it was a B&B but it was a lovely boutique hotel in the heart of the town. The breakfast was healthy and fun served on colourful Fiesta Ware. The room was immaculate, spacious and charming. The staff was helpful during our stay and then went above and beyond by shipping items back to me that I left in drawer. I cannot praise Merritt House enough!

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.

    The coastal views are endless. I loved how walkable everything was. I also took a short bus to Carmel which is the nicest beach I have seen in the US. I missed out on the 17 mile scenic drive without having a car, but I will be back :)

    The Monterey Bay aquarium was top notch, not only with animals, but facilities and numerous volunteers. The area is beautiful and weather was fabulous. We had the absolute best clam chowder, so fresh. Plus we could watch the otters, seals and dolphins in the kelp beds from the window as we ate.

    The 17-mile drive was beautiful, time it to make sure you are not going too late or the fog rolls in and you cannot see much. The aquarium was okay, for the price ($65 pp) I was expecting more. It's great for families with kids and there are more kid friendly areas there than other aquariums I have seen. Don't skip the drive to Big Sur, you can still go into Big Sur and the drive was beautiful and the trees are amazing. Cannery Row is very touristy, however there is a lot a historical information sprinkled throughout and makes for interesting reading.

    my favorite was many things, like Cannery Row has plenty of shops and food items to choose from. Fisherman's Wharf has the best restaurants we loved Sapporo's. Finding parking spaces was a little challenging.

    The 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.
