We stayed two nights on our way from San Francisco to L.A. and on our way back we returned for one night. The property and interior are very nice but everything is a little bit run down. But as long as you don't expect 4-5 stars quality you will not be disappointed. The staff is very kind and helpful. Breakfast... more

Just spent a week at the Monterey Hotel and loved it! The staff was super friendly, cheerful and helpful. Great location right in the heart of historic Monterey. This is an old hotel and does not have an elevator, but the staff took our bags up and we found the stairs only added to the character of this great place.... more

We really wanted to love this hotel. It's charming, in a great location, and the only hotel in the area to state on its site that it's gay-friendly. There were many good things about the hotel. First off, it was definitely an affordable option! The decor was very cute, and the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We stayed in... more

Location is good for all the sights of Monterey - especially if you have a car. Fisherman's Wharf is close - a very easy walk. Cannery Row/Aquarium is a bit of a hike, but we were quite happy walking it. Even at night after dinner we felt very safe walking. The rooms are tiny, especially with the King bed in... more

Our expectations were pretty low, and were exceeded by our room. It was small (the bathroom was nearly as large as the main room), but clean. There was some noise from the hallway early in the early evening, but not enough to disturb our sleep. Although this place was more my parents' speed, we enjoyed it. A short walk to... more

We spent a night here and were upgraded to a fireplace room. It was huge and very roomy w/ a separate living room area from the bedroom. The only noise we heard was when we were in the living room; you could hear when people opened and closed their doors. Otherwise we didn't hear anyone talking or their tvs. The... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here in early June for two nights as part of a San Francisco/Napa/Monterey trip. I had found a rate onliine for just $75 a night while we were there, and despite reading other reviews on trip advisor, I thought well as long as it is a clean, safe place to stay then it works with... more

I stayed here with my new wife on our honeymoon on our road trip down from Seattle to LA. Great trip but in amongst motels and hotels, this was the worst of the lot. The hotel is quaint as other reviewers have pointed out, the staff try hard but cannot make up for the wafer thin floors and walls. We... more

This grand old hotel in the middle of Monterey was a great find. We booked cheaply through Travelzoo and the room met all of our expectations, apart from no A/C. The rooms have ceiling fans but were still quite stuffy in the evenings. However, this didn't detract from the overall experience. The staff in the hotel were exceptional and helpful... more
