we stayed 4 nights during spring break. the inn's facade looks a lot better than the rooms - everything was mismatched. however, the important thing to us was the beds and sheets were very comfortable, and room was clean. the boards creaked every morning when the folks above us were up (around 7 am!). would really have liked a microwave... more

We stayed in Room 205. Gabriel was the gentleman at the front desk and gave us room 205. The room was a 2 queen size bed, clean and affordable ($129 + tax per night). I had access to only one outlet that was so worn, the plug wouldn't stay in. The only other avl outlet was in the bathroom. This... more

When we pulled up outside the Otter Inn, having once again read about it in teh Lonely planet, it didn't look quite how we imagined. It was a bit strange walking into the small reception area straight from the car park and then catching a lift up to our room from the car park - did all seem a bit... more

After reading some of the other reviews, I was ready to cancel our reservation, but decided to give it a try. The staff was exceptionally helpful, and other than comically mismatched bedding and a slightly worn bathtub, everthing was just fine. The beds were comfortable, the room was very clean, and the location was great (we did not need to... more

We stayed there in September 08 during a week-day. We got a king-size room for $99 + tax. The room was rather small, but the bathroom was very nice. The room included high speed Wi-Fi and complimentary snacks (don’t eat them all... some are supposed to be your next day’s breakfast). The hotel is very well located, there is a... more

Loud, dirty and everything was old. Very expensive and do not listen to the restaurant advice from the front desk! more

My wife and I booked a stay for my 40th Birthday....3 days before our scheduled check in date, my wife became violently ill with stomach flu, vomitting and a whole lot of other symptoms. It was clear we would have to cancel our trip, which included a long drive to Monterey from our home in San Diego (9 hours). Knowing... more

We never actually stayed at the Otter Inn, and it was still the worst hotel experience I have ever had. My family had a vacation planned in San Francisco and Monterey, but due to my wife's sudden illness right before our trip, we had to cancel our entire vacation. The hotel in San Francisco was very gracious and cancelled our... more
