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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I booked multiple rooms for a family vacation. The staff was excellent- super easy check in and answered all of our questions/concerns. The kids loved the pool and we all really enjoyed the hot tub. The hotel is very accessible to Monterey. One of my nephews accidentally left a gaming device behind and when we called to inquire about it they were able to locate the device and send it back to us! I found the rooms to be clean. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are traveling with family.

    The motel has been refurbished recently and the rooms were fresh, clean and comfortable. Although the rooms at the front of the property on the main road may have been a bit noisy we had a room upstairs at the back and it was very easy to sleep. Reception staff were all helpful and friendly, especially Naomi. The hotel is located not far from Cannery Row and the Wharf and it was easy to find parking downtown. Safeway supermarket is just a couple of minutes away which is a bonus.

    my 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.

    A 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!

Good self-serve coffee machine in the lobby for outside breakfast hours. Bed was comfy and amenities clean. Plenty of on-site parking. Location is easy walking distance to downtown and harbour, for food, drinks and sights. This hotel complimented our fantastic time in Monterey.

    It’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.

    This 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.

    Conveniently 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.

    I 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.

    We only stayed for one night as we were on a driving tour and stopped in Monterey to go Whale watching. Casa Munras was recommended as a good comfortable hotel in a good location and it filled all of those things very well. There was a lovely looking bar area that we unfortunately did not get to try as we had dinner out on our only night there and it was closed by the time we got back.

He contacted housekeeper and within 30minutes I had a room. In the meantime he had offered coffee from their lobby stock which tasted delicious . They have a water cooler in the lobby as well.
