We have stayed at the Victoria Inn several times over the last few years. We enjoy Monterey and vicinity, and the hotel is a fine stay. The breakfast is not lavish, but plenty of fine options. The nightly wine (or juices) and cheese is similarly low-key but a nice light snack after an afternoon out.
The hotel is walking distance to the Monterey Aquarium, plenty of restaurants, Cannery Row, and Carmel or the 17 mile drive are a short drive away.
The rooms are well-equipped, a good size, bath and bed are good, fine tv, etc. I also love ceramic mugs and reall glasses instead of cardboard and plastic in the room, so points for that.
Overall, a good place to stay in a good location.
