Continental breakfast had a good variety of choices and nice touch that it was delivered to the room on time. Location is great. Room was quiet even though overlooking Cannery Row. Felt safe walking around at night to restaurants and bars. Staff was very attentive.

The room is huge and beautifully furnished, with a gas fireplace, sitting area with two armchairs, huge wooden desk and high sloped ceilings. There was also a small balcony from which the ocean was visible, even though it's not a beachfront property. Breakfast was delicious (omelettes instead of congealed scrambled eggs) and cheese and wine in the evening is a convenient bonus. Location could not have been better, we walked everywhere we wanted to see in Monterey, and parking in the hotel garage was $17, which I found reasonable after San Francisco.

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 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.

    Great location, lots to visit, has something for everyone. From Dennis the Menace playground fro kids to kayaking for the outdoorsy types to galleries and historical strolls for the culture-hungry. Don't forget to visit Carmel via 17 mile drive. Make a day of it!

    The 17-mile drive was beautiful, time it to make sure you are not going too late or the fog rolls in and you cannot see much. The aquarium was okay, for the price ($65 pp) I was expecting more. It's great for families with kids and there are more kid friendly areas there than other aquariums I have seen. Don't skip the drive to Big Sur, you can still go into Big Sur and the drive was beautiful and the trees are amazing. Cannery Row is very touristy, however there is a lot a historical information sprinkled throughout and makes for interesting reading.
