Overall an amazing place with friendly service. One thing that could have made our stay better would be air- conditioning.

The Monterey Hotel was great find. Location was really good and the hotel was quaint and charming. The public areas were a little worn out but the rooms were in good shape and the bed was very comfortable.

Felicia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel staff were very helpful and efficient. The room was lovely and comfortable. But we were not expecting how loud the area is - lots of yelling and laughing, etc. on the street well into the night. Maybe staying on a different side of the building would be helpful.

Beautiful Historic Hotel!

This hotel was very charming! While it is on the older side (we stayed in the historic side of the hotel) is was clean, comfortable and very charming. My mother and I had a lovely time here. It’s in a great spot downtown and walking distance to the pier and eateries.

Hotel Monterey

Monterey Hotel is in a perfect location right near the Fisherman’s wharf, and on a Main Street. It is a very safe location. There’s two sides, the historic side and the more updated side. Unfortunately it was a full house and we were on the historic side which just could use a bit sprucing up. The room was clean and bathroom perfect, but the mattress needed to be replaced (a few years ago). We enjoyed our stay and would return here, just next time we will book in advance so that we can request the updated side.

Absolutely perfect location for those wanting to stay in Monterey. Average rooms, good cleanliness, average amenities. Parking will be a challenge and the hotel does not provide any sort of parking voucher.
