Continental breakfast had a good variety of choices and nice touch that it was delivered to the room on time. Location is great. Room was quiet even though overlooking Cannery Row. Felt safe walking around at night to restaurants and bars. Staff was very attentive.

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 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 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.

    Can see local sites in one day- did Fishermans wharf- 17 mile drive- Carmel- cannery row-if you’re into shopping it’s fine- we enjoyed all the views of the ocean the most! Free trolley available to shuffle between areas- parking is expensive depending where you park but that’s expected at the beach.drive along coast- you can find free parking towards area attractions have to pay

    Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a fairly good selection of above-average offerings, which were as good or better than similar hotels on our trip. Good self-serve coffee machine in the lobby for outside breakfast hours. Bed was comfy and amenities clean. Plenty of on-site parking. Location is easy walking distance to downtown and harbour, for food, drinks and sights. This hotel complimented our fantastic time in Monterey.

    The hotel was easy to find and is close to Monterey harbour (5 minutes by car). It looked like fully newly renovated, the room was perfect and the bed comfortable. Parking was complimentary and right in front of the door. At the start the wifi didn t work but ultimately the recptionist helped out with it. There was free coffee offered in the room.

    Nice quiet hotel, friendly staff and good location not too far from downtown Monterey. Beds were comfortable and the breakfast on offer was good but not great, typical of a Best Western. There aren't too many food options close by but we did find a Vietnamese place a few hundred meters up the road which did ok for our one night there.

The hotel is quite modern and very stylish but also has a very relaxing atmosphere with staff that are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
