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.

    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.

    We went for Whale watching primarily. Worth it.

    We went for Whale watching primarily. Worth it. Brilliant, but swell from previous storm pretty bad, despite anti-sickness tablets. Local Hotels have brochure with 10$ discount p.p.! Town pricey and touristic, We joint daily local indoor pool for 20$ p.p. a day as part of continous prep for swim competition. 17 mile drive [=12$ per car], nice, but not essential, on rental bicycle might have been more fun. Just walking bit away from wharf towards peninsula, wildlife like otters, seals etc. Parking ticket for parking against traffic 48$ [just popped into nice French bakery].

    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.

    We enjoyed so much about our stay. We had one of the best views we could have asked for, the room was very chic and the hotel itself is gorgeous. The location is one of the best in downtown Monterey. I will be honest, when deciding on which hotel to book knowing this one is a pet friendly hotel I was worried about the condition our room would be in (smell and cleanliness) but if a dog had ever been in our room before we would never know it! The stay overall was fantastic.

    The hotel is well situated, just walking distance away from Monterey's Cannery Row. Our room was comfortable and spacious, with the added charm of a working gas fireplace. What's more, the hotel offers a generous breakfast and a wine-tasting happy hour. What's there not to like? Just note that off-the-street garage parking is extra. Also, if you are looking for a nearby restaurant, I would strongly recommend The Sardine Factory, which serves excellent seafood.

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.

    Cannery Row Inn is ideally located to explore Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf and downtown Monterey. It’s a lovely spot, we had a sea view, it had a balcony, nice space, and an electric log fire thing which was awesome. There’s no safe, but it’s pretty secure. The car park is good, you park anywhere and get a card for your window. The team were super friendly. FULL RECOMMEND FROM US

    Amicable staff. We got a pack with edible goodies at the check-in. The room is OK, but the bathroom is too cold (we stayed during winter). Wlakable distance to Cannery RowUpon check-in, we were greeted by friendly staff and given a package of snacks. The room was satisfactory, but the bathroom felt too chilly during our winter stay. The hotel's distance from Cannery Row is walkable.

    Location, location, location. I flew into Monterey very early and went directly to the hotel. I asked the man at the reception desk if it was possible to get an early check in. 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.
