Hotel was clean, nicely furnished and well maintained. Rooms have charm. Typical continental breakfast included, served inside or out in the garden. Walking distance to many sights in Monterey, as well as lots of restaurants and cafes. Only complaint - walls are not soundproof and able to hear neighbors.

older downtown property within a very short walk of fishermans wharf. Has on site parking for $20. Well maintained large rooms with new modern baths. But it still has that older warm B&B feel. Also I Loved the staff.

Our room was beautiful (King bed, 2nd floor)! We loved the high ceilings, 4 post bed, and fireplace. It was nice to have a balcony with a garden view. The location was great and walkable to everything. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Monterey now that we found the Merritt House!
