We loved our stay at The Monterey Hotel! The building has beautiful historic charm with modern comforts—clean, cozy rooms, comfortable beds, and a friendly, welcoming staff. The location is unbeatable—right in downtown Monterey, within walking distance to Fisherman’s Wharf, Cannery Row, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We didn’t use our car once! Morning coffee and pastries were a nice touch, and the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. Highly recommend for couples or anyone looking to experience the heart of Monterey.

Historic in relation to this hotel just means old, dirty, and uncared for. The location was excellent but there were many other hotels in the area that we will be staying at next time. Not worth any money you might save by staying there.

Overall enjoyed my stayed here. The room had a very strong distinct smell, which definitely reminded me of its vintage Victorian charm. Thus said, it might not be for everyone especially those with sensitive smell.
