Best hotels & accommodations in Monterey (CA)

We choose this hotel because of their location. They located nest to the "Monterey State Historic Park" & lively "Fisherman's Wharf". You can leave your car and have some tasty meals just 3-minutes walk. The hotel building design blend with the original historic building. We love the adjustable shutters in the guest room instead of curtain(good for those who has allerg...

Lovers Point is just on the door step and it’s a great viewing area. Recent reviews of the hotel made me nervous but the room was clean and the bed was one of the best I’ve ever found in any hotel. The decor is dated but it’s ok. Services are basic. Breakfast is pretty basic so we went out. Fernando the chap who checked us in was helpful and courteous. No complaints ab...

We stayed at the Abrego the night we arrived in Monterey ahead of the start of a three night stay at Pebble Beach Resort. Money aside, I liked the rooms at the Abrego better. The rooms were exceptional, with bathrooms and beds that made us think about remodeling out bedroom suite at home. The hotel is conveniently located and one of the (surprisingly) less expensive o...

Lighthouse Lodge is quiet, pleasant, close to the beach & Butterfly Grove, plenty of trees. An older facility, but kept in good repair. Friendly, accommodating staff; very good breakfast; nice pool area. No rowdy guest parties! We had a problem with Priceline canceling our Agoda reservation - without our knowledge or approval; but, the staff honored our request with n...

We had just finished a lovely 3-night stay at a Best Western Plus in Colton, CA, so our expectations for this BWP in Monterey were rather high, I suppose. There were a few let-downs, but only by comparison. There was no AC in the room, only heat, so we didn't get the white noise we wanted for the baby, which was especially a problem because the elevators were right on ...

The hotel is centrally located with lots of dining options around & easy access to everything. The room had a beachy cottage feeling & is literally across the street from the wharf. At least a 5-10 mins walk only. There is a fee of $20 for parking in the underground garage... the only downside. The hotel should have reserved spaces for checking in. Since there is no s...

This was a last-minute booking due to the health of my mother at Sunrise retirement home. Booking was very easy. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. And my room was beautiful. I'm a clean freak when it comes to hotels and this was a very clean Hotel. I travel a lot for my dog shows and this hotel was far better than any I have stayed in in the past year. With t...

The room is clean. There are refrigerator, microwave, safe box and coffee maker in room. We stayed in a 4 star hotel in Monterey Bay before and they don't have refrigerator and microwave oven inside the room and we paid $160/night. We had to check in late and check out early so we didn't want to spend money on those 4 or 5 star hotels. The Comfort Inn has things more t...

Hotel was clean and staff friendly. As for the room. I had a sweet and had family. Had two towels in the room. Even though there are three beds. Walls are paper thin. Could hear conversation of people in next too. Using normal voices. Bed was hard and sheets scratchy. The breakfast was a joke. Will not be coming back. That is for sure. Monterey will be a commo...

On the afternoon(July 15) we checked in, the front desk staff Julie was so helpful to us. We were a little bit surprised but it's hearwarming. She showed us the info regarding Monterey Bay and Camel and gave us a room facing the woods and it's so quiet and comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay in Comfort Inn Monterey By the Sea if we visited tha...

We booked a queen suites which is comfortable for family of 4. Nicely located which gets you easily to various destinations without Monterey area. Breakfast was excellent. Especially worth mentioning is the friendly and helpful staffs making our stay a very pleasant one.

This was excellent and the beautiful flowers around the front of the room entries were better than any landscaping I have ever seen at any motel. Rooms were larger than average. Remodel quality was considerably better than normal. All colors, linens and drapes were fine quality and well chosen to make the setting first class. Even the hardware was top quality. The...

We were put in an ADA accessible room. The walk in shower allowed water to run across the floor to the other side of the bathroom. I assume the drain was partially clogged. We were 340 steps from the closest ice machine. Pretty bad for an ADA room. I’m so glad we were only there one night. As a Hilton’s Honor member this is the worst hotel room I’ve had in...

Very clean and spacious. Plentiful towels and toiletries provided. Breakfast was very good and definitely didn't leave feeling hungry. Walls were maybe a bit on the thin side but wasn't a problem. Nice design. Free parking. Would stay again if ever in Monterey!

Spotlessly clean, sufficient breakfast and friendly staff. For what we paid, it was excellent value for money and we’d definitely stay again. My one and only complaint was that there were lights on outside the room and the curtains were not long enough to effectively keep the light out (at least in the room we stayed in). So if you are partial to a very dark room like...

The room with squeaking bad had everything that some other hotels don’t. Everything was working. I wish TV had some restrictions about some adult programs and actually there was too much ad shows;( nothing for the kiddos. Did not check wifi. Used my phone. Towels were kind of clean. The overall cleanliness is ok. A little bit noisy,but it is in the heart of Monterey so...

Very nice hotel with awesome view on the sea. Rooms were clean and very spacy. Beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The buffet was a plentiful American breakfast buffet but sometimes a little crowded as it ended on 9 AM on weekdays. Nice architecture and furniture. Will stay there again!

My family and I stayed at this hotel during our road trip from SF to LA in April 2015. We rented two rooms and both of which were equally nice so I guess that speaks for the rest of the hotel. Located a few minutes away from Monterey's centre of attractions (approximately 10 minutes from Cannery Row), the hotel offers peaceful ambience with plenty of fresh air. Don't ...

Located in beautiful Pacific Grove, easy walk to Monterey cannary road. A 5 minute walk from the beach. Down the street from 17 mile drive. Friendly hosts, get a complementary glass of wine and sit by the fire pit in the evening. Have something light for breakfast enjoy your coffee by the firepit in the morning. It's a nice place overall. Some visible wear and tear on ...

The room was exceptionally clean and 12 minutes walk to the Del Monte shopping centre, 15 minutes walk to Monterey Transit Plaza and the airport buses 93 and 7 stop directly in front. The price was very low, so my stay was great value. This is a simple, no frills motel which was just fine for me.

We stayed here for 1 night after a whale watching tour and our stay was GREAT. Mary at the reception was SUPER nice, helpful and informative. The room was spacious, comfy bed, clean and big bathroom. The breakfast was also great, offering a lot of variety and good food. The location was also good, pretty close to everything in Monterey. Highly recommend this hotel for ...

We were doing a road trip from SF to LA, Monterey bay was our 1st stop along pacific coastal highway, and understand that there is a submarine Monterey Canyon just outside in the sea! Location of the hotel was excellent, by the sea, next to the aquarium, in the heart of cannery row, it is a luxurious hotel in Monterey. The building looks like an old sardine factory, ou...

This run down motel is in a high priced area. You can't help but feel ripped off after spending the $200/night for a dump. This is the type of motel that you would expect to pay anywhere from $35 to $45/night. I recommend staying in Gilroy if you are visiting the area. Better prices and value. To add salt to the wound, this Rodeway Inn overcharged my credit card and I ...

i booked this room last minute to make it to Car Week,. It was definitely the lowest price in town but I quickly learned why once there. The room was "non-smoking" but smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. I later found a half smoked cigarette under the bed when I removed the comforter (which had cigarette burns in it). The pillows also smelled like smoke. Overall the ro...

Went here on a family trip with my parents and younger brother of 17 to Monterey. Super basic motel. We were looking for a pet friendly hotel/motel for around $100/night with decent amenities. Unfortunately, most of them were super expensive, so we ended up booking this place for $115.99/night pre-tax/fees. Bonus was that my dog was free of charge. Room was surprisingl...

The location is very close with Del Monte Center (shopping place in Monterey), so I could get anything by walking distance. Also, many buses stopped inside the mall area, which made it more convenience to go somewhere. My room was spacious, clean and well equipped with big comfortable bed. It’s highly recommended.

From the check in, to the next day check out, the staff were very Friendly. But the most unforgetable experience we had was when my Husband left his iphone in the room after we checked out. We're already at the Lover's point park when we realized that his phone was not with him. So we immediately drive back to the Inn and when we get there, the Manager called me in the...

When we went into our room we found that there was luggage and other personal items of the occupant. We were given another room, but it makes one wonder if someone would just as easily get into our room. Everything else was OK. The breakfast room was tiny, but OK if you were lucky enough to get a seat. Parking was strained.

They offer good breakfast, coffee, bread, joice Wifi is good, but not too fast bathroom small, but acceptable 15 minutes walk to Fisherman wharf around 1 hour bike to Carmel---very beautiful town you shouldn't miss. Buses available to take you back to Monterey plaza

Pros: close to Monterey wharf and aquarium; mall complex two blocks away; Vietnamese restaurant next door; King size bed large; bathtub; room clean; nothing got lost in the room; lots of tv channels, strong wi-fi. I should have booked a longer stay in Monterey as the city is charming and lots of activities. Cons: no elevator to second floor (if you have large suitcas...

I've stayed at a lot of cheapy places in Monterey.. this was probably on the bottom end of them. It's driving distance to a lot of places in Monterey, but not really walkable. The people weren't too friendly, but they were quick. The sheets were pretty gross.. found hair in the bed and used soap in the tub. We had cable? But if you want a cheap place to stay, it gets t...

We love to stay in this hotel very much. The hotel room was complete with oven and fridge for your convenient. The front staff was very helpful in guiding us on Monterey sightseeing and place to eat. We can bought the Aquarium enterance ticket in this hotel with 2 days ticket for 1 day price. The breakfast provide by this hotel was great, i love it especially the muffi...

The staff were excellent and the free breakfast was the best. We had a room in the front of the hotel and when the window was open it was very noisy secondary to traffic. The location is very convenient. The hotel is small and cozy and it feels like it was lifted out of Europe and placed in Monterey!
Traveler impressions of Monterey (CA)
Monterey is a nice place. It's very laid-back, almost sleepy, with a pleasant vibe. This is not a place to come for frenzied nightlife or extreme antics.
So much to do and most is in walking distance. The scenery is beautiful. The weather is perfect. There are many restaurant choices.

This small but lovely hotel is located next to the Monterey Bay, within walking distance. The room was very comfortable even though we booked a two double beds room (two adults and two older children). The hotel has provided us free internet service and free breakfast for all!

Loved this hotel! The best view of Monterey; beautiful ocean view right on the water. Listened to crashing waves, gulls and seals all evening long and slept like babies! Lovely good sized room with a huge bathroom. Awesome balcony to enjoy the view as well.

My daughter & I needed a hotel for an overnight near her SAT site but we also wanted to have a little fun the night before. I have always wanted to stay at the Spindrift, We arrived later than planned and pulled up to valet parking ($30 and worth it because parking in Monterey is expensive).
