There is so much to like. The staff are consummate professionals, so friendly and welcoming. The room exceeded my expectations (and I can be hard to please). The ocean view is spectacular… breathtaking. I would recommend staying in one the rooms facing the ocean. It is a wonderful hotel.

Perfectly located right in the center of town, with lots of restaurants within one block and only a few minutes walk to the aquarium. Being able to park the car in the garage and being able to leave it there until 4 pm after checking out was so helpful. The way the hotel was built, it had a courtyard with two firepits and ample seating which made us forget that we were in the middle of town! The room was clean and the beds comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

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 town felt both quaintly and historically antiquated, yet superbly modern. For example, the aquarium seemed both historic while also avant guarde in ecological and environmental studies. Bravo to one and to all, I hereby resolve.

    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 hotel was a small one but all the needed items including microwave was made available in the hotel room. There was no breakfast served but an alternative breakfast biscuits with a choice of tea/coffe was also provided. It was my first time in Monterey, I had checked out at 11am but due to having a wedding at 2pm, I was still allowed to use one of the rooms to change into my wedding guest outfit. Friendly staff and good environment and just 8 minutes to the beach with varieties of food around.

    This hotel was a great place to relax after a few days in San Francisco. The room, restaurant and patio were lovely and a nice pool area was a bonus. The staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a good location, with the main street that leads to Old Fishermans Wharf just down the road. Monterey is a charming town with a good choice of restaurants, and a beautiful coastline.
