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.

Monterey is a great place to spend a few days.
Monterey is a great place to spend a few days. There is a lot to see and once you learn the one ways streets it is easy to get around. The wharf is fine, Cannery row is a tourist spot but it is fun and the aquarium is great. Food is very good in Monterey and Carmel.JohnUnited States of America - 6.0Scored 6.0
Cannery Row is a bit of a tourist trap, but if you head away...
Cannery Row is a bit of a tourist trap, but if you head away from the beach you quickly access the restaurants of Lighthouse Avenue, including Hula - Hawaian food. If I had my time again, I would have tried to stay nearer to the Acquariam, even as far west as Pacific Grove (technically the next town along), near the delights of Happy Girl Kitchen.

Two night, great location.
Two night, great location. Although hotel dated it is comfortable, spacious, cleal and all services were excellent. Centre of everything yet quiet. Can accommodate everyone. Lots of beaches, walks, great food & activities.DympnaUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
I love the ocean.
I love the ocean. There are just so many great little beaches to visit. Monterey has so much Sea life too. We saw harbor seals, otters, elephant seals, too late for the Monarch Butterflys, tons of birds, just from the walking paths! We actually walked from Monterey to Pacific Grove. There are also loads of shops, and restaurants.JoanUnited States of America - 10Scored 10

My trip to Monterey Bay was amazing, due to how beautiful the scenery was and how close everything was to were I stayed. The Wave Street In was a great hotel to stay in because the aquarium and many restaurants are so close to it you can walk everywhere and not worry about parking. The hotel was also great as everything was clean and the staff was very helpful.

Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Pre-book tickets online to avoid the ticket lines. Get their map and event schedule and get to events about 15 minutes prior for best positioning. Parking and food is cheaper the farther away from aquarium you go.

- From $317.48 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 2,523 reviewsThe standout aspect of the Portola hotel and spa is definitely the pool and the fact that they allow dogs.. I felt like the location was a big bonus because you weren't in the middle of cannery row and you weren't out in the hinterlands like some of the other hotels in Monterey. The porters and most of the hotel staff are very nice. The lobby is lovely though they could have Happier music playing. It's weird to check into a hotel and they're playing wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot!AmandaUnited States of America
- From $108.66 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 1,851 reviewsWould not recommend booking this place. We drove to this place all the way from SF and to our surprise they overbooked and just said they send us massage. They did not cancel the booking and did not bother actually getting in contact with us. The manager was arrogant and did not care that we drove 3 hours and don’t have place to stay (our paid booking at their hotel was still confirmed). In the end they found room at different hotel for us but kept the money even tho it was much cheaper.DavidCzech Republic
- From $361.97 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 1,055 reviewsmy husband and I stayed in one of the king rooms with ocean view balcony and sofa bed, and we absolutely loved all the space and the incredible view. We also made use of the hot tub on the roof, which was very relaxing. The hotel is conveniently located on Cannery Row, easily accessible by car and putting many restaurants and attractions within walking distance. The in-room breakfast wasn’t anything amazing but it was enough to be filling and it was nice to have it delivered.
WesNetherlands - From $118.36 per night8.0Scored 8.0Very GoodRated very good· 1,249 reviewsA perfect location for events at the Monterey Fairground! Right across from the festival we went to! Also a quick run or walk down to the Bay and bike/run/walk trail. An extra big plus: the front desk staff! The reception host was amazing and just a generally wonderful person! While the hotel/motel is not a five star spot by any means (it’s all about the convenient location), her hospitality and friendly vibe made our stay extra special and all the better!ElisaUnited States of America
- From $119.94 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 2,476 reviewsIt’s nice to relax in this Monterey hotel. The receptionist was kind and welcoming. It’s a 15 minute downhill walk downtown or a 30 minute walk to the Fisherman’s Wharf along with Monterey’s beach oceanfront. You can ride the city transit to Pacific Grove & Carmel or drive if you want to visit Carmel Valley & Big Sur. The calm weather attracts tourists from all over the world so peak seasons tend to bring families, owners with pets, and visitors.RichardUnited States of America
- From $231.16 per night7.6Scored 7.6GoodRated good· 1,555 reviewsThis hotel was really nice. I had a room with vaulted ceilings, a balcony, and a fireplace. The location was central to the popular fisherman's wharf and the old cannery row/monterey aquarium. For the money, this place can't be beat. It's an excellent value all around. I did all sightseeing on foot and by rented bike, so if you like to park and not deal with driving this hotel is a good choice for you. I'd stay here again for sure.
Dante2000United States of America - From $253.72 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 1,879 reviewsLocation of property was ideal for downtown Monterey and an easy walk to Fishermans Wharf. It was also an easy drive down to Carmel. Car parking was great - managed to get parked right outside our hotel room. Bed was comfy - room was a good size. Bathroom was a great size. Nice to have toiletries and lovely fresh towels. Also liked that there was a safe in the room. Pool looked nice, although we didn't make use of it.ShirleyUnited Kingdom
- From $349.05 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 505 reviewsConveniently located right near the pier and in the heart of charming downtown. The beds are comfortable and nice and firm, which has been hard to find in many hotels I’ve tried in Monterey where the beds are too soft. The room was well appointed, clean and modern with good amenities. — and a great value. I’ve started at more expensive hotels, such as the Clement or Portola. And the Marriott has them beat bed-wide.
JohnUnited States of America - From $317.48 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 2,523 reviewsI chose the Portola Hotel & Spa based on its previous reviews and it did not disappoint. The location was within walking distance to pretty much everything. The rooms were clean and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Also, Crepes of Britanny was so good that crepes and coffee from there alone was worth the stay! Also, its pet friendly and I like that. My family and I had a wonderful time there.DiannaUnited States of America

YVONNESingapore - From $147.01 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 1,730 reviewsOur room was very comfortable and spotless. It is conveniently close to the part of Monterey with the restaurants and activities. (It is not close enough to walk unless you are "younger" ) It was still very expensive since it was on a Saturday night but more reasonable than hotels closer to the water.
