jacuzzi tub in my room. clean. big, quiet. everything anyone could want for a little get away. check in was flawless, fast and friendly. Big comfy bed. Great A/C. Not a single complaint. It was perfect.

Great place to stay. Very quiet & clean. The jacuzzi was the BIG highlight for us. After a long day of walking around to be able to soak was amazing. Diffently will stay there again.

Very clean and well maintained. Cozy room with an incredible mattress and jacuzzi tub. Cute little property about two miles from all the sites.

The bed is THE BEST ever....we got a king room with jacuzzi ...super nice and spotlessly clean! Plus theres a cute old school bowling alley next door😊

Spacious room, smells good, no carpet. Comfortable bed. Spacious shower and bathroom. Starbucks coffee pods for the coffee maker, very rarely seen on inns/lodges. Parking is in front of the room. Friendly staff. Office is only till 11pm, we checked in about 10:15pm, the front desk left me a message and voicemail to make sure I know the the timings of the office and some instructions if we dont make it before 11. Appreciate the effort.

Enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Everything was up to standards. The front desk and breakfast staff made the difference in comparable hotels. The breakfast was more than a Continental breakfast and had a reasonable variety. The pool was warm and the Jacuzzi hot. It was 56 degrees so if they were not heated as they were our children and guests from around the world would have missed out on hours of enjoyment. The pool area was clean and had plants and flowers. The lobby, breakfast area and rooms are contemporary. The room, linens, pillows, carpets, hallways and elevators were all clean and fresh.

First of all, it was our first time in this hotel and we stayed with our family. The front desk night and morning shift staff were friendly and professional. The hotel was clean and well-designed. O The room was good and the bed was comfortable! I didn't expect that the breakfast was gonna be amazing! You know hotel breakfast is usually bagels, jam, and coffee. However, they have a pancake machine, cold juice machine, fruits, omelets with cheese, hash browns, etc. It was so delicious! There is a complimentary coffee machine 24 hours in the lobby. Everything was amazing and thank you for your service!

I have nothing but good things to stay about our stay here. The front desk staff were so friendly and accommodating. The parking was easy and plentiful. There is tea and coffee always available in the lobby. The room was clean and had a sliding door with a screen, for fresh bug free air. The beds and pillows were super comfy. I didn’t hear a single noise during the night. There was a wonderful ceiling fan, which I think should be mandatory in all hotel rooms. The sink was separate from the toilet and shower, which makes sharing a room so much easier. There was plenty of hot water. The cooked breakfast was yummy. A couple of our group said the coffee was bad. I don’t drink coffee (it always tastes bad to me), so I’d say this place was perfect with no room for improvement. The Best Western will now always be my first choice when staying in Monterey.

We always prefer Bestwestern hotels, and we've stayed in a lot of them. This one has to be our favorite. We were upgraded to room 319, a 3rd floor corner room with a balcony, fireplace, and a view of the bay. The room was quite large, and the two windows provided a comfortable cross breeze. It appeared that the room had been recently renovated. The entire hotel, lobby, hallways, etc. had a crisp, clean appearance. The underground parking, with an elevator to the lobby and upper floors, was quite convenient. All the staff members were friendly and helpful. The only negative was the breakfast. The small cheese omelets were good, but the cold soggy potatoes were horrible. Other offerings were limited, at least it was a little something before going out. We absolutely loved this hotel, and would highly recommend it.

Staff was excellent, friendly and helpful. Room and facilities were clean and beds were comfy. Included breakfast was ok but adequate. We did appreciate the coffee/hot chocolate machine and tea station in the very welcoming lobby. Location was perfect, near downtown and all the main attractions, beach, restaurants and stores (shopping mall, grocery store and pharmacy). Short drive to the freeway. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Pool was warm but there is no jacuzzi. Close to beach, in an out, and chilis.

Facility easy to find and consistent with Embassy Suites facility EXCEPT there was no jacuzzi and the $20 for outside self parking was pretty sad. The $15 a day allocated for bonus did not work out as gift shop closed when we wanted to use it.

overall stay was nice, breakfast was a huge plus. Beds weren't the best though & they were out of pull out beds. No hotub was a bummer.

Convenient location near Monterey/Carmel area. Our room felt clean and spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The central breakfast area/lobby had great lighting during the daytime. The freshly-made pancakes at breakfast were delicious; the made-to-order omelettes also looked huge and yummy, though we didn't try it as the line was long. We were able to use our $15 credit in the gift shop for some afternoon coffee and a local photo card souvenir. Staff were friendly and helpful.

My husband and I stopped here on our way down the coast and had a fantastic stay. We were upgraded to a king suite and our room had a balcony facing the bay area. We even arrived at cocktail hour for complimentary drinks and received a credit for the restaurant which was much needed after a long day of driving. Staff was friendly and efficient, and the bed was SO COMFORTABLE. We walked down to Seaside Beach with our morning coffee but saw you could also rent bikes at the hotel, which we would have done had we known! It was a bit of a 'not pretty' walk to get there, but the beach itself was lovely. Would definitely stay here again.

We usually stay here each year in June or July because it is very consistent and the staff is always very friendly. Quite often I might get an upgrade, which is nice. I did get an upgrade this stay as well as a piece of birthday cake and a bottle of wine in my room. The rooms are always nice clean fresh and we have never had a problem with the room. We did get a balcony type room with our suite this time, which is interesting because it looks like a little bit like a jail yard ha ha. There was no privacy on the balcony but every time I sat out there, I never saw another person. It was a nice view toward Pacific Grove, and this time of year you can see the Western Gulls and their chicks on the rooftops. When you walk along the coastal trail, you will see sea otters, sea lions, elephant seals, brown pelicans, Cormorant, and other birds. This time of year you will see Western goals and nests in some locations. It’s a great location to see lots of wildlife. The hotel is also located near the wharf where all of the tourist restaurants are, but there are also several restaurants in town that are equally as good. We always really enjoy the buffet breakfast and eat way too much. The staff is also great here and the food is not very good. The front desk staff was very friendly and the valet guys were all nice as well. This hotel is very consistent with good staffing and a clean room which is why we continue to come back each year.

We stayed here for 6 nights, to attend a wedding in nearby Carmel Valley and also to see the sights around Monterey. Great hotel overall. Friendly front desk at all times. Best parts included the breakfast restaurant and efficient valet parking. We ordered from the breakfast menu and service was fast and food delicious. French toast with berries, the pancakes were our favorites. Despite the $39 valet parking daily fee, retrieving your car was fast - I did not call first, but presented our ticket to the valet desk. We had pizza in the restaurant on our final night for dinner, very good. Room was nice with a pool / Bay view. Convenient daily maid service. Free washer and dryer on 2nd floor, plus laundry detergent complimentary at the front desk, hard to beat ! Easy walk to Fisherman’s Wharf and the Grotto Restaurant, plus Cibo Restaurant . I ran the Monterey Coastal Trail up to Lovers Point and back, very scenic.

This Marriott was a joy to stay at. I let them know ahead of time we would be celebrating a special occasion and they went the extra mile to make the trip excellent, even though they were totally sold out. All of the staff is super kind and offering to help and be helpful-- they make you feel like you are very important. My child was given two small sea stuffies which were very kind of them to give. We did get to enjoy breakfast at the buffet and there is a great selection. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub. The pool is nice and warm even first thing in the morning. The staff is very attentive to the building, cleanliness and keeping the place in shape. The rooms was great-- large and clean, even though we were just in a basic room. We had an issue with accessing the wifi and the technician who came to our room to help went above and beyond. The location is excellent-- central to the wharf and downtown-- we walked most places. The city lots are just $12 a day too which is convenient and close by. I have stayed at the Monterey Plaza and Portola, which are lovely properties-- I did feel the most welcome at the Marriott though! Only con: I wish there were stairs that could easily get you from the lobby to the room floors so you didn't have to rely on the elevator.

I stayed multiple days but not back to back. 5/21/2025 and 5/26/2025 both stays were perfect. I was in town for Caliroots music festival over Memorial Day weekend. After checking in both days I went to the bar for some food and drinks. On 5/21/2025 Connor (bartender) night mgr and host provided amazing customer service. On 5/26/2025 Angelina was great both times, the same host was there both times. I also was allowed to check in early 5/26/2026 (after 4 days of camping, I needed an early check in) and was upgraded to a room in the 6th floor on the corner with a partial beach view. Room was great, bed and couch were so comfortable. I did have an early flight the next morning so I received my wake-up call.

Simply wonderful. The room was modern and clean. The staff were very friendly. Anytime I needed something brought up, they quickly came within minutes. I honestly had no complaints. We had a city view room, and it was beautiful. We could see the fog come in from a distance and the sunshine peer through by mid-day. For breakfast, you could order from a menu or enjoy the widespread buffet which had a lot of hot food options including a made-to-order omelette and pancake/waffle bar, congee, bacon/sausage, etc, etc.

This property seems brand new which was great because EVERYTHING was clean.. Front desk very friendly. Free Hot cocoa and coffee upon entering which my kids loved. They loved the heated indoor pool even more. They swam for two hours when we arrived and again later that evening plus in the morning before we left. When we asked for more swim towels they promptly refilled. Upon leaving for dinner they had freshly made chocolate chip cookies at the front desk! We had the free buffet breakfast which had small western omelettes (delish), bacon, sausages, make your own waffle, variety of pastries and fruits, variety of cereal, oatmeal. All of which were fresh and delicious. Everything was also very neat and clean. There was a worker that was asking how everything was, greeting and cleaning. I would definitely recommend this place and come back.

Good clean modern hotel. A few issues with our room but it was no big deal. Frt desk was basic. Like a robot. Was she AI? "Hello, cc for deposit, rooms down the hall." Something along those lines, not word for word. Not friendly or welcoming at all. Breakfast attendant on Sat was great. Very friendly and helpful. Great attitude for that early in the morning. She helped people with disabilities to their table.

We stayed here for 2 nights to attend orientation at CSUMB. This property is a short 10 minute drive from campus which was perfect for us! Rooms were very clean. Comfortable beds and pillows. As far as noise goes it was what I expect at most hotels. Our room was closest to the elevator so we did hear people talking as they walked past our door and heard occasional steps above us. Breakfast was more than enough to get us going. A few proteins and plenty of carbs. Didn’t use the in room coffee as we just grabbed coffee from downstairs. As we were only there 2 nights our room was not serviced which we knew would be the case. Appreciated the water bottles at check in. Indoor pool and fitness room looked nice but we didn’t not use either. Overall a pleasant stay and I wouldn’t hesitate stay here again.

We stayed here for a long weekend tied to the Laguna Seca race weekend. The hotel is new and is very clean. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful during our stay. They offer a reasonable hotel breakfast each morning included. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. You can choose how often the room is serviced during your stay. The location is fantastic as it is very close to highway 1, allowing quick access to other sites along the coast. We walked to the nearby Marina State Beach and enjoyed a few hours in the sun and watching the waves. Walmart, Denny's, 7 Eleven, and other retail and eating locations are very close by, making it easy to stay and with microwaves and refrigerators in the room, there are plenty of options open to travelers.

I had a great stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Marina. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was a good value for the price. Breakfast was decent and had a nice variety. The staff was friendly, and the location was convenient. I’d definitely stay here again.

Room was clean and comfortable. Pool and jacuzzi were clean and enjoyable. I liked breakfast, everything was fresh. Hotel was located in a nice side of the city.

The entire hotel experience was perfect. Check in was a breeze, the room and bedding was perfect, a special birthday gift was waiting, and the pool and jacuzzi was welcomed after a day of golf at Del Monte. I could not have asked for a better place to stay for the weekend!

This is a fab hotel. I would say it’s more of a conference/business hotel but we were here for 2 nights and loved the facilities. Check in was amazing. The public areas are fab, there’s a Starbucks, bar and restaurant in the main lobby area. Outside there are large seating areas with fire pits. Free Smore packs available from the front desk which is a bonus and enjoyed by our kids. 2 pools with jacuzzi - pools are heated. Bedrooms are massive and in blocks so a walk from the main areas. This is definitely a five star resort and I would recommend it.

Overall it was a nice stay. We originally booked a view of the pool, but as we checked into our room we were disappointed. It wasn't a great view. There were many trees blocking the view of the pool. The load noise of children screaming with excitement in the pool was not what we were expecting either. I don't mind children, but we were a bit worried about how the noise carried. The room was a bit dark and smaller than we expected since it was on the second floor. We decided to request a different room with a view of the golf course instead, but none were available. They did change our room, however; to one that was in a different bldg. and on the very top floor. There was a better view of another pool which was not as crowded, but we also had a view of the freeway in the distance. One evening went to the main area of the lobby/restaurant to have a quiet nitecap /cocktail before turning in, but the area had many children running around, even at that hour of the night. I love children, but we were celebrating an anniversary and hoped for a quieter setting. Maybe we would have been better off in a room with a nice view of the golf course in a quieter bldg. Other than that, it was a nice hotel and the service was very professional and polite. Breakfast was outstanding!! Thank you

Very large resort with multiple heated pools and hot tubs. Lots of outdoor games for kids and adults. Several hammock gardens for relaxing in the shade. We enjoyed the many firepits around the property. Staff was friendly and helpful. Adjacent to El Monte Golf Course. Comfortable beds and pillows. Clean, spacious bathroom. Room had mini fridge and coffee maker. Re-fillable water bottles, water bottles, and smores kits were included with the resort fee. Staff was always friendly and professional. My only complaint is that there was a $20 self-parking fee even though there's plenty of parking spaces on the property.

Very clean rooms, great swimming pool and jacuzzi, awesome gym room

Such a great stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Monterey! The service and staff were always helpful and had a smile. Room product was super clean, comfortable and had a fridge and microwave which helped with a toddler. After a day of city touring we jumped into the nice size heated pool and jacuzzi which was a real treat. The location was so convenient and close to all the attractions. They had washer and dryers again a plus with a toddler. Last but not least breakfast was great and the steak they had on the dinner menu was super tasty!

Our fam of 5 stayed the weekend for a birthday trip. The suite was spacious, the staff went over and beyond, the location is 5-7 min to everywhere we needed, and we had a great time. Food at the restaurant was overpriced but convenient and fine. The pool was heated so perfect even if its cold. The firepit was perfect. They could use a 2nd jacuzzi since it was overpacked both nights.

Beautiful Ocean view room, steps away from the beach. Kids enjoyed the large pool & jacuzzi.

I am let me team this review to only the lantern restaurant. This is a restaurant which is Chef driven with three brothers that have worked here over 40 years. The food is all resourced from local areas. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant multiple times and the food was 10 out of 10. The amount of food can be shared also. The type of food reminded me of the Bluezone in Costa Rica. All organic and very tasty. Our server was Tori for breakfast. She was very warm and knowledgeable in terms of what to order and also referrals for other restaurants in the area. . The server at night was Jennifer who was also very good. Everyone lived up to expectations for a Marriott tribute Hotel. For one dinner we had the flank steak which was excellent and tasty. You have the view of the ocean from every table. They have a great fireplace at the entrance if you want cocktails prior to dinner. I can't say enough and highly recommend you visit the Lantern restaurant when you come to Monterey. It is the only Hotel that is on the beach in Monterey.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this hotel. We spent four days here working remotely and soaking in Monterey’s peaceful coastal beauty. The property sits right by the beach just steps from the sand, and every morning I’d grab a hot coffee from the lobby and take in the breathtaking ocean views. This was our dog’s favorite place, and although we couldn’t bring her with us this time, we were reminded of why she loved it so much. The wide stretch of beach right outside the hotel is perfect for dogs to prance around. For any dog parents looking for a relaxing getaway where their furry family member can roam free and happy, this spot is it. We even spotted dolphins from the large windows, pure magic. The hotel itself has everything you could want for a rejuvenating escape: an amazing restaurant with a fantastic menu and cozy ambiance, inviting fireplaces, strong Wi-Fi, and a bar and lounge area with spectacular ocean views. We came for a much-needed retreat and were welcomed so warmly by the staff. Special thanks to Kayla and Rebekah at the front desk, and to Anna from the restaurant, your kindness and hospitality made our stay truly special and memorable! THANK YOU! We genuinely didn’t want to leave and can't wait to be back.

From the minute I walked into the lobby and gazed at the picture windows looking out at the ocean, I knew I had chosen the perfect hotel. There is so much to love here, beautiful outdoor facilities, comfy chairs and fire pits to enjoy looking at the water, plus complimentary s’mores! A wine wall for an evening glass of wine. Loved that the hotel is right on the beach, it made for some wonderful walks and amazing sunsets. Plus we were able to see whales in the distance! The rooms were clean and comfy, the LaVazza espresso machine was a special touch. I appreciated that the kind ladies at the front desk were always willing to give me extra pods for an afternoon cup of coffee. Thanks to Sheevani and Vivian for your kindness. We didn’t upgrade to an ocean view room so just know you might be facing the freeway. There were two sets of curtains to block that view if desired. Parking is VERY expensive, as is the restaurant, but not unexpected for a hotel in Monterey. I read a few reviews that made me hesitate staying here. I am thrilled that I did not pay them heed. Unless you need to stay directly in Monterey, this is the only choice of a hotel, as it is the only beachfront property.

PROs: fine architecture and reworking of the lobby, with large windows above the ocean. Fine grounds with fire pits (they partially close the ocean view to the ground floor rooms, but they are a treat). Great and rare position on the beach. Nice personnel, especially at the lobby. Dustin went far and beyond with helping my specific needs. He and another colleague of his were professional and elegant in treating Guests, one could notice. The beauty of the hotel (Japanese-echoes?) is also about the rooms that look to the hill. You will have wonderful trees that create fine perspectives, in combination with the striped balconies. Nice breakfast and dinner on the 4th floor, with great ocean view. We loved the sea-themed decorations, frames and the fishermen's nets hanging from the ceiling. Beautiful! Fresh and nicely decorated rooms. "Very Tribute Portfolio". CONs: limited bar/restaurant service at the fire pits, at least at the time of our trip. It's mostly a happy hour thing. Small bathroom. The architect went for a walkway in front of the ocean-view rooms. IT means that your actually vie has the striped balcony between you and the ocean. CONCLUSIONS Great stay, great access to the beach, great relax in the lobby.

Staff was super friendly and accommodating, location is perfect for walking into town for food or shopping, this is one of the few properties in town with an outdoor jacuzzi, and they have a great hot breakfast every day.

A/C was noisy, we ended up using the fan instead, because it's quieter. The room was clean. We enjoyed the jacuzzi. Breakfast was just okay.

Great stay! Big rooms, great service, very good breakfast and the jacuzzi was a nice treat. Highly recommend!

Everything about this property was great. The highlight was the indoor pool and breakfast! First, the staff at breakfast were awesome, they were on top of making sure things were stocked and the area was clean. The breakfast offerings were by far the best I've seen at any hotel breakfast offering. I love that they had non-dairy options. It's really hard traveling with a kiddo who has a dairy allergy. But the fact that they had 3 different non-dairy milk options, including oat milk, was 5 stars. The only negative if I had to point one out was that I wish there were more non-pork meat options available at breakfast. But I know that's really minor in the scheme of things, we don't eat pork and it would have been nice to see a turkey sausage option. They did have the impossible breakfast sausage, which is vegetarian. My kids were excited that the pool was indoor so they could swim, because it was cool and foggy at night. The pool did not seem heated, although I swear I read something about the pool being heated. The hot tub was out of order, but that was not a big deal at all for us. They had a great outdoor patio with a fire pit. I did take advantage of the laundry room there, and it was easy to use and fairly inexpensive. You can do a load of laundry, wash & dry, for $4. Just download an app and add some funds or you can use quarters. This hotel was quick and easy drive over to the Monterey Bay aquarium, which is why we came to the area. Walking distance to trader Joe's & ta

Excellent stay- our family would absolutely return here for a future Carmel/monterey trip !. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Staff was friendly and responsive to our questions and requests. Pool and hot tub fun. Breakfast had great options. Grills and fire table and pet relief area a plus! Directly across the street from convenient, stores like target and Ross and a yummy Greek place!. Just a mile from Fort Ord dunes, a lesser known but gorgeous beach! An easy 20 min driveto Monterey or Carmel-by-the-Sea!

Enjoyed our stay. The balcony came with a view. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The only thing that kind of bothered me was the sliding door to the bathroom. It would make a very loud sound when we opened it all the way. It would disrupt my sleep. Other than that everything was great. Breakfast was good. The air conditioner/heater worked. The water pressure was adjustable for the shower. The fridge was cold. You get the point =]

We were traveling as a large family with young children. The rooms were connected and so large that we had plenty of room. The pool was clean and warm. The breakfast was very family friendly. The staff was so welcoming and the hotel smelled so fresh and clean when we walked in.

This is a brand new hotel at a high price point so I expected everything to be great. The rooms were very nice and there was a lot of counter space. However, the housekeeping was suspect. I found food from a previous guest on the microwave turntable and a dryer sheet under the end table. The first day, breakfast was very good, although the egg/cheese/peppers/onion bowl had been over-microwaved and the cheese was hard in spots and the juice dispenser was out of orange juice. The second day there was less variety at breakfast. All the breakfast sandwiches were on English muffins so if you didn't like English muffins you were out of luck. As there are 2 types of sandwiches available each day, they should always be on different types of bread. There was still no orange juice on the second day. The worst part about breakfast is the seating area. There is not enough seating and the seating that does exist is odd. There are assorted types of seats, small tables and the space was just not maximized. We had to crowd around a very small table on seats that looked like footstools. The hotel is situated in a seemingly safe area near new shopping areas and restaurants. It is not directly on the water. We drove from this hotel to Monterey. It was about a 15-minute drive.

This was the best hotel/ranch!! Absolutely beautiful surroundings, very well designed, wonderful staff, and awesome restaurants/chefs. Love the backcountry excursion, hilltop Yoga, pool/jacuzzi/spa, balcony tub, and all the amenities. Really appreciate that cats are welcome!! It’s so close to Carmel-by-the-Sea but much warmer and sunny skies. We would definitely go back to Carmel Valley Ranch!!

The property had so many things to do from going on trails, golf, animals, a spa, big pool with a nice jacuzzi, and wonderful staff. The unfortunate thing was you could hear a dog next door dragging a leash or rolling a ball while barking at times late at night. However, the hotel can’t fully control that. Jeff was wonderful at the front desk and all the staff were very friendly.

The Ranch is a wonderfully relaxing, quiet resort for a getaway that doesn't feel like a tourist destination. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and and spotless, without feeling opulent. We had a north facing room looking over the golf course and hills, which was a wonderful view and avoided the blazing early morning or late afternoon sun. The resort is large; getting around to the lodge and the various venues requires some planning. Fortunately the shuttle is readily available. Groups and families as well as pets seemed welcome and at home. There are lots of optional activities at the corral, beehives, etc, if desired. Wild turkeys, deer, and other wildlife is abundant. Food at the Valley Kitchen was great; Chef Ty and his team made us feel welcome and like judges on a cooking TV show. Servings were a good size but modest enough that we could try multiple dishes without feeling overfed. Attentive and personable service, comfortable for families, kids and groups there. Everything we tried was excellent. We hadn't planned on eating at the restaurant the entire stay, but we did - there seemed to be little reason to go off-Ranch for a meal. Carmel by the Sea, Pebble Beach, Monterey Bay are accessible if more vacation activity is desired.

We stayed here in early November for my wife’s birthday through the Fine Hotels & Resorts program and couldn’t have been happier. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. We were pleasantly surprised with an upgraded room that felt more like a beautiful condo. It was spacious, luxurious, and complete with two fireplaces, including one in the bedroom. The entire stay was peaceful and relaxing, with everything spotless and well cared for.

From the very beginning our meeting at the reception was excellent, the manager Paul did everything in his power to make us comfortable. The hotel has a huge territory, so it is better to get to the room by your own car and park nearby. Quite modern rooms with everything you need and a gorgeous view from the balcony and a huge bathtub right on the balcony. Breakfast can only be ordered from the menu, as everywhere in America the portions are huge. Our daughter loved the children's pool and recreation area.

The breakfast provided and fresh coffee/hot water available all day/night was a plus. Warm pool and Jacuzzi was enjoyed as well.

The staff was helpful and we enjoyed the breakfasts we had. We would suggest some changes to the property. Our toilet/shower area was tiny and it appears that a short (in length) toilet was installed a number of years ago. In addition, the floor tile and shower tile appear worn. We would recommend remodeling the toilet/shower area with the following improvements: bump out this area approximately 18 inches into the bedroom area, install a normal size toilet, removed the floor and shower tile, replace the flooring with a water proof plank-type flooring, install a solid plastic shower insert and shower pan, and re-plumb and move the shower nozzle and valve to the opposite side of the shower stall.

We had a water view. Very clean rooms and comfortable beds. Also loved all the Dove products….shampoo, conditioner, and body wash built on the side of the shower. So much better than those little tubes most hotels hand out. Breakfast had a nice wide variety of options. I think they had pretty much anything you could think of for breakfast. Including many hot items. They have 24hr hot cocoa, tea and I believe coffee. They have ice machines on-site, however, they also have complimentary half bags of ice in the market area. I feel they have really gone above and beyond thinking of everything a customer may need to have a fabulous stay. would recommend 10 out of 10. Will be returning next time we are visiting. :)

Staff were professional & pleasant - very welcoming. Breakfast was good everyday - service people kept it clean & well stocked! Room was comfortable- loved the shower - location ( very quiet) - would stay here again

We had a great two night stay for Cali Roots. Quick bike ride to the festival, awesome free breakfast in the mornings and a bridge right to In-N-Out next door for late night food when we got back. Property was nice and a quick bike ride to the beach as well. Room was clean and spacious, if a bit dated. Bed was super comfortable and staff was friendly! Definitely recommend.

The Hotel was perfect for our leisurely stay. The room had everything we needed from the comfortable bed, refrigerator, microwave and nice jacuzzi in the room.

that I found a room with a jacuzzi in it!!!

The hotel definitely made our trip more enjoyable, checking in was very easy & the reception was very friendly, loved the restaurant options across the street, loved that it wasn’t a hectic busy area, the rooms were very spacious & comfortable made us feel at home, this was our 3rd trip to Monterey but 1st one at this hotel & we all agreed definitely staying at this hotel for all future trips to Monterey.

The rooms were small but comfortable. They were clean, and my kids loved having their own space within the room. For the price and location, it was perfect. Also, I would like to add the front desk clerk was friendly and professional. It made me feel i made a great choice.

The room was very clean and not outdated. For the price the room was definitely amazing. We got upgraded to a hot tub room and we used it and the water temperature was great. The bed was comfortable and clean. We spent one night here and would 100% come again.

The staff was absolutely amazing! Everyone was friendly and more than willing to guide you to all the hot spots. The room was super cozy with a beautiful fire place and a jacuzzi making it perfect for our little get away to celebrate Father’s Day with my husband. So much within walking distance. Carmel definitely holds wealth codes and you can feel the abundance all around you. We will be back again! An can’t forget super pet friendly!

We initially chose this property because it was pretty centrally located, and it had a good grass area for our dogs. It was a wonderful 3 night stay. It’s within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants, and in a nice quiet area. I loved that they had a water refill station and ice machine right by the office! All of the staff were great. They were very knowledgeable about the area, and had good restaurant recommendations. The room was a little outdated but it was very charming and clean. The bed was a little hard for my taste, but the pillows were super comfortable and made up for it. The jetted tub was amazing and if it was colder we definitely would have used the fireplace. The grass area for the dogs wasn’t as grassy and green as the picture, but it was super convenient right outside our door. The only downside to that which I didn’t consider is that the grass/dirt gets wet with dew and then it gets their feet dirty. Overall, we (2 adults and 2 dogs) loved staying here and would definitely come back again!

We arrived after dark and were still able to find the hotel. The lady at the front desk was VERY friendly and informative. The lobby has free chocolate chip cookies, tea, and coffee. The property is clean and easy to navigate, though maybe a bit dated and without quite as much charm as others in the area, but nothing to scoff at, especially for the price. The property was also very quiet. The complementary water bottles and water refill station were a major plus for us. The room was pretty big, the bed was comfortable, and the shower got hot and had good water pressure.

We primarily chose this property due to being pet friendly and found the grass area to be half dead and the other half was not mowed. The room was fine except that the shower door did not latch. The area was very walkable and had much to look at in terms of restaurants, shops, and the beach. Alexis was very pleasant and an asset who was helpful and nice.

Very friendly staff, room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Fresh warm cookies in the lobby every afternoon were the highlight of my kids stay! Will definitely stay again.

We had a really wonderful stay at the Pine Inn. First, it is one of the only hotels in Carmel that will allow a one-night stay. Second, while the standard rooms are on the smaller side, the price of the room totally makes up for it, and if you book directly, they offer a $25 voucher for breakfast at Il Fornaio downstairs. Next time we will book a king room with an ocean view, which we understand is fabulous and still very reasonable. I was concerned that the stay might be noisy based on a couple of reviews, but it was very quiet, and we had a room overlooking the main street, which basically shuts down by 9:00pm. The only thing we heard were the waves in the distance. The queen bed & pillows were super comfortable and there was an ample closet, something that many B&Bs and smaller hotels lack. And we even had a glimpse of the water and sunset. It was like being in a little oasis. The front desk could not have been more welcoming and friendly. And when we requested ice, it was brought up to our room in record time. We were extremely happy with our entire stay and will definitely be back!

Very old building, yet nice and clean. Very comfortable beds and an excellent breakfast restaurant! The staff in the Pine Inn were not friendly and we had to go in the back door to get to rooms. No elevator or help with luggage. The wait staff at the restaurant and the food was excellent!

Loved the historic hotel, right on Ocean Avenue. The location is perfect - with easy access to the beach as well as shopping and dining. Our 3rd floor ocean view room had an amazing view. The attentive staff made us feel at home. Would definitely stay here again.

The service was amazing, the front desk was always accommodating and helpful when needing information or service. Richard our bartender was a joy! We came in around 8:30 Friday night to the bar for some dessert and a nightcap and after finding out that they were about to close the manager, for which I apologize forgot his name, had the kitchen make us a dessert and a delicious drink from the bar. We came for the PBFW and easily could have stayed at the property but instead we were so happy that we chose the Pine Inn. We will definitely be coming back again!

We had a truly fabulous stay at the Pine Inn for our work-team retreat! Taking advantage of their corporate rate to upgrade to suites was absolutely worth it. The accommodations were comfortable and spacious, providing the perfect environment for our team to collaborate and unwind. Both management and housekeeping were incredibly attentive, ensuring that all our needs were met throughout our stay. Their exceptional service made a significant difference in our experience. Overall, the Pine Inn offered an ideal setting for our retreat, and we couldn't have asked for anything better. I highly recommend this hotel for both work and leisure stays!

Cute cottages; proximity to the beach; clean rooms; nice jacuzzi tub, friendly staff!

comfortable room the jacuzzi tub was nice

This hotel exceeded our expectations. We booked 2 rooms- both spotless, spacious and really comfy beds. The jacuzzi tubs were definitely a bonus. Our room had a balcony which was the perfect spot to relax. Manager was so kind and helpful. I wish we could have stayed longer. We will definitely return.

Such a cute little Inn! Loved the location, close by Pebble Beach and Monterey. Rooms were cute and all named as different things in the area. The young man at the reception desk was pleasant and friendly. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Loved the jacuzzi tub and fireplace! Breakfast was nice. We wish they had some protein items but made due with what they had. They had donuts! Cereal, toast, granola bars, assorted fruits. A juice machine and a coffee machine that made cappuccinos and lattes! It's definitely a plus with that machine! Rooms also had a little fridge and microwave. Only a 5 minute walk to the beach and a little light house, which was unfortunately closed by the time we got there. Saw deers grazing in the yards nearby. It's definitely a scenic area! We were very happy with our stay. Would definitely stay here again!

It was walking distance to several restaurants and the beach. They had breakfast and even afternoon hors d’oeuvres and wine. The room was large and even had a jacuzzi tub.

Appetizers, breakfast, and jacuzzi tub were all wonderful benefits!

Coachman’s Inn is the perfect stop if you're doing the Pacific Coast Highway road trip. Carmel is a beautiful and safe small town, and this hotel is right in the heart of it. You can easily explore the town center on foot, with plenty of great cafes and restaurants nearby. We loved the happy hour wine tasting, the jacuzzi, and the secure parking. Breakfast was filling and a great start to the day. The room was well-equipped with everything we needed. It’s also close to the entrance of the 17-Mile Drive, and Monterey is just a short drive away.

The rooms appear to be recently remodeled, bright and comfy. The bed was very comfortable, room and bathroom nicely updated and well laid out. Comfy robes were available in the closet. Our room was very clean. They offer so many extras - cookies at 4 (homemade thumbprint cookies with homemade jam the day we were there), wine and bites before dinner (we had reservations out so did not partake), a nice limited breakfast buffet with wonderful fresh fruit, and what looked like a great entree, plus oatmeal, homemade coffee cake, etc. All were included. The location is excellent - just enough off the main road (Ocean) to be pretty quiet but also very central. The room is well set up for charging phones, playing your own music tracks, etc. The fireplace looked like it would be lovely when there's a chill in the air. We never made it to the hot tub/sauna. Oh, and the Illy espresso maker in the room was a nice treat.

A fantastic stay for our first time in Carmel. The property has everything you would want and more. The room was clean, spacious and had all mod cons along with added extras. The fire in the room made it feel extra cosy and the microwave and fridge were really handy. The complimentary breakfast was ideal with a choice of fresh fruit, some pastries, granola and a hot dish along with tea, coffee and fruit juice. They also provide a wine and cheese/nibbles every evening between 4.30-6pm which was lovely. The WiFi was great and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. The only negative we could say was that you could hear the rooms around you pretty clearly. Footsteps and noise from the room above and also talking and noise from the room beside. The walls did seem to be very thin. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay for our first visit in Carmel. The location is great and in walking distance to everything down town. If you are having any doubt over booking here, you don’t need to. We would definitely be back.

beachfront location excellent suites pool/hottub very pleasant and helpful staff great restaurant on site

I just wanted to get away to a peaceful place & rest. This hotel was exactly what I dreamed of. Beautiful location. The staff members were friendly and helpful. They are very pet friendly even providing your pet with their own bowls and menus! I had an Ocean View Suite. Fireplace, comfy bed, room service, delicious food, yoga, jacuzzi and the room was cleaned daily which was nice. I will definitely come back for more!

The location is somehow cold and the weather is cloudy most of the days but this resort has made it possible to still enjoy the journey at Marina (Monterey). Near to Monterey, it allows you to relax with their heated pool and jacuzzi and stay close to the beach while being able to go to Monterey via car in some minutes. Our room was fantastic - large, close to the beach, with an awesome fireplace. The staff is friendly and they try to make sure you are comfortable and enjoying the resort. Their restaurant is quite great - even though they have some too particular options. A special thanks for the treatment got by Mr. Robert, manager of the resort.

Sanctuary Beach Resort was and absolute highlight of our trip! The location is stunning, right on the beach with breathtaking ocean views and direct access to the sand. Our bungalow-style room was beautifully designed, spacious, and had a private balcony where we could relax and watch the waves. The resort’s peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind. We loved the fire pits in the evening, creating a cozy and romantic setting. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. If you’re looking for a serene and luxurious escape along the California coast, Sanctuary Beach Resort is a must-visit!

Great location and friendly staff. The rooms are a good size, and the bed was super comfy. Also, the jacuzzi tub was great! My only negative is the rooms could use some freshening. Our kitchen had a burn mark on the wallpaper next to the stove, which needed attention.

Couldn’t ask for a better location.. The room was impeccable…….. every amenity was of good quality. Loved the Jacuzzi tub. From check-in to check out……. perfection!! Definitely recommend difference, looking forward to our next stay there.

Location was wonderful! The room had some very nice amenities which all worked great - microwave, fireplace, jacuzzi tub, bathrobes to name a few. It was very comfortable. The fireplace was so nice to have on our rainy stay. There was also a jacuzzi tub which I didn't expect, but it was sure nice to have. We had a really great time on our stay and I would recommend to others.

This was a surprising delight on our family vacation up the California coast. What a delightful way to experience our last night. The rooms are so charming! Interior white painted brick wall, fireplace, high-back sitting arm chairs, Wayne’s coat on the walls, double sinks, jacuzzi tubs. Comfy beds. Welcoming light food buffet in the lobby. Patio with table and chairs. Everything is plush! They thought of everything! High-end amenities. I will definitely stay here again!

More than expected! Great location with so much to do, see, and explore, all within short walking distance. This includes great shops, wine tasting, and food. On-site private parking was a definite plus on arrival, especially if you are familiar with the crowded and difficult touristy parking situation in this area. Our first interaction after parking was with the housekeeping staff, who were apparently doing double duty sweeping up fallen winter leaves and tidying up parking area. They warmly greeted us and helped direct us to the lobby. We were able to check in an hour early with the help of Scott at the front desk. Again, very friendly, thorough, and helpful. We entered our second story room and we're immediately impressed by the actual size of the room and even moreso by its charm. Great lighting from the many windows and the plantation/louvered style shutters. Even a door to a small balcony to sit for an evening or morning sip of coffee. Our room came with a cozy fireplace which only added to the overall charm and ambience of the room. And let's not forget the jetted tub, which was more than roomy enough for my wife and I. Very clean and meticulously kept. Furnished with a small fridge, ample fresh towels and guest robes, coffee maker, glasses and mugs, and two separate vanities that worked out perfectly for my wife and I. Comfy and cozy bed and amazingly quiet considering being located amidst the surrounding hustle and bustle. Loved our visit and highly reco

Stayed at the Bungalow. Quiet spacious. Historical interiors and decorations but well perserved and maintained by the staff. A rare opportunity get to live in an old historical building comfortably. Location is also amazing, walkable to downtown and to the beach, both are quiet scenic. The breakfast and afternoon tea in the lobby is very enjoyable with the decoration, fireplace, and the music. Staffs has been all very nice and helpful. Overall, great experience.

Its everything that I am looking for. Charming, romantic, friendly service, great breakfast and afternoon tea/ coffee service and walking distance to restaurants and the beach. As you open the door to this charming Victorian hotel, you really feel that you are walking back in time. The carpet the decor and the furnishing is truly setting you back in the Victorian era. The bedroom is very quaint and the best part is the bathroom in this #1 Room is renovated to accommodate the handicap guests. There's a fireplace in the sitting area adjoining the dining area where breakfast is served from 8 to 10 everyday. The staff are very efficient. They text you to let you know that your room is ready. They also text you an hour before the service closes at 9:00 pm if you need any thing so they can prepare it for you. How great is that. So the next time to are in Pacific Grove, check Centrella Hotel first.

The staff has been very friendly and helpful. I recommend accepting the use of text messaging for communicating with hotel staff. It has proven very useful and reminded me of things I might have otherwise forgotten. My wife and I would definitely consider returning for the hospitality we have received here. As for the accommodations, the room (for us, it was cute cottage next to the main building) was comfortable, with and old world charm, but with all the necessary modern amenities. In the lobby area, there is a common area with tables for dining and a big screen television surrounded by couches and comfy chairs, a coffee table and a cabinet filled with board games for a little group entertainment. All in all, I would definitely recommend Centrella Hotel if you're looking for someplace outside of the big corporate hotel chains, or for a romantic weekend.

Lovely older inn with off street parking, happy hour sparkling wine, all day tea/coffee and simple continental brekkie. Simple decor but very comfy sitting room with fireplace and friendly humans. Staff were accommodating for early arrival and it is walkable to Pacific Grove shops and restaurants, one block to magical Lovers Lane beach with lots of seal pups to marvel at a short walk along the bike path. Just a lovely time!

Great location, only a couple blocks from the main street with restaurants and shops. You can also walk along the coast to Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row, with amazing views of the ocean, wildlife, and seaside houses. The hotel itself nicely features period details and the staff is very friendly. The breakfast was simple yet filling, with the granola especially tasty.

Highly recommend this property. Loved the wine, cheese and cookies in the evening and the full breakfast was fantastic. Rooms were large and the views were awesome. I also loved the fireplace and jacuzzi tub. Great job all around.

Location is perfect - view of the ocean from the dining area and from the balcony. 20 steps to the pedestrian / bike path on the ocean. Room was large with plenty of seating, fireplace, comfortable bed. Bathroom was also large with a huge jacuzzi tub and they provided bath salts. Hot breakfast with many choices of high quality items. Sodas / water complimentary and every night wine / cheese / cookies. We will be back.

Incomparable location. Our first morning we crossed the street to sit on a bench on the bluff above the shore, and 5 minutes later two whales suddenly surfaced right in front of us. Our room was warm, sunny, comfortable. The bathroom looked newly remodeled and was sparkly clean, but perfectly in character with such a historical house. It had a tub with jacuzzi jets plus a shower. walking distance to Cannery Row while feeling like you were in a village far from civilization. We loved it. A bit out of our normal affordability, but we will save up enough to return again because of the pleasure of the experience. Amy and Ivy at the front desk were warm and friendly and fun and deserve high marks.

This is a wonderful , beautiful, amazing bed and breakfast! Where do i start? Location is incredible! Quick walk to Cannery Row or into town in Pacific Grove or to Lovers Point. It’s directly across the street from the ocean so the views are magnificent! The bike pathq is directly across the street and the hotel will provide you free of charge bikes. My husband and so went on an absolutely gorgeous 8 mile ride along the coast. Amazing! The main house: from the outside it’s a traditional looking home but inside the decorating was modern beach and stunning!!! It’s comfy yet fashionable! And the views are amazing! There are cookies all day , wine and cheese in the afternoon and a yummy breakfast each morning. We stayed in the back building and had an incredible suite with blocked views of the ocean. We had a fireplace , large sitting area, large bathroom with tub and separate shower and a king bed. The room was decorated beautifully. Our fireplace had some issues but they sent someone to fix it and also gave us a pretty significant credit (before we even had to ask) for our difficulty. The staff are kind and helpful. 5 stars all the way! We will be back!!!

Green Gables Inn in Pacific Grove is a treasure. It has the charm of a beautiful, timeless Victorian home, updated with just enough modern touches to make for a perfect stay. The rooms are lovely - we stayed in the Balcony room, which has the addition of a private day porch where we sat and enjoyed listening to the tide come in. In the mornings, we spotted a small pod of four whales as they swam by, as well as seals and otters. Our room was clean and very quiet, even though there were other guests right down the hall from us. Although our private bath was just across the hall, rather than in the room, it did not pose a problem at all. The inn's location is ideal. The walking path on the edge of the ocean is just across the street, so we were able to walk for hours and enjoy the views. It is a short 7 minute drive to Carmel with its shops and beautiful beach, and just minutes to Monterey, making it the perfect location for exploring the area. We are so thankful we found Green Gables Inn and are already booking another stay for next year. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet, lovely visit to Pacific Grove.

Peaceful gardens and water fountain to just sip tea, read the local paper and relax as a family of deer makes good use of the pond and foliage. Main house views are amazing as well as the Staff (Especially Dorothy)Knowledgeable and very helpful for dining suggestions or travel destinations. Start your day 8-9am, Pick a table for a Wonderfull breakfast, then out for your adventures. 5 min walk to Cannery row and most restaurants. Come back by 5-6pm to enjoy the tasteful selection of wine and appetizers nightly. Another 5 min stroll for Dinner, then back to the property to enjoy the views before retiring to Bed which was very comfortable! Great Couples retreat!!

The rooms are clean and cozy, providing a comfortable stay. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food, beautiful views, and delightful conversations with fellow guests over wine and hors d’oeuvres, as well as the delightful breakfast. The staff is friendly and helpful.

We liked everything about this place! We came for just one night to celebrate our 34th anniversary and I wish we had stayed more nights. In an area where hospitality services have to be exceptional because there is so much competition on every block, The Jabberwock really goes over and above in excellence in every way. The owners and their staff, esp. Dorothy, are extremely welcoming, hospitable, and engaging. The facilities are convenient to Monterey, being a couple of streets up from Cannery Row but is not so close that you feel like you're in the hubbub. The house is beautiful and well-kept; our room was beautiful and had a great view of the bay (we stayed in Brillig); the bed was very comfortable; the breakfast was amazing, and the wine and hors-d'oeuvres hour the night we came in was an added bonus. It's a community style arrangement, so chances are good you'll be interacting at least somewhat with other guests, but it wasn't in your face and there are places to be by yourself as well if you don't feel like interacting. We will definitely be back as this is our new favorite place for special occasions, and we will be recommending this to all our friends in San Jose (and those that come from out of state too). 😊

We appreciated the ease of communication via text with the staff about breakfast, hors d'oeuvres, housekeeping, etc. We also appreciated having the option to enjoy our breakfast in the comfort of our cottage. Everything was clean, well-stocked, and welcoming. We were given clear instructions on how everything worked and felt very at home. We loved how conveniently located the house was from many attractions like the bike path, aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf, various restaurants, etc as we were able to walk to many of these locations. The house itself was beautiful and felt secluded, even with the sound of cars going by on the street, and the cottage provided the perfect amount of privacy.

We love everything about Jabberwock. It is ideally located for touring, Monterey, Pacific Grove, and Carmel. The facility itself is so magical, welcoming, quiet, and comfortable. Beautiful views of Monterey Bay and delicious creative breakfasts every morning. We love morning walks through the neighborhood, and we're pleasantly surprised to see wild deer every day!

The jacuzzi suite was amazing. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The jacuzzi was huge.

Location was convenient to PG, the pier, the shopping center. Lovely pool and jacuzzi, clean and heated, in full sun till 5:30 pm. Daily Breakfast, bagels, cereal, coffee, toast, oatmeal, juices, microwave and toaster and breakfast bars, yogurt on the weekend.

The jacuzzi was wonderful and the front desk man was friendly and helpful! I also love that the property was pet friendly with a nice grass area specifically for dogs and easy to get to from the elevator but away from guests, great planning! There was also easy parking.

Great having a jacuzzi and they provide slippers!

Nice Rooms, nice and accommodating staff. Some rooms come with a fireplace. Pool and Hottub located in the back surrounded by plants.

Very friendly staff lady who checked us in was amazing and so sweet. Great location beach was like 1.2 miles from property I had a fireplace and a giant balcony. It was great. Will be staying here again but next time I’m the jacuzzi suite.

The Red Roof inn was very comfortable. We rented a room with a fireplace and large balcony. The hotel is old, and worn. There were years of sloppy painting of the room. The room itself was nice sized with a small bathroom. Our bed was very comfortable, the staff were very friendly. They were very careful about cleaning. No elevator. They do provide daily housekeeping! I find that a big plus. Unfortunately they are not allowed to open the hot tub yet per the county. If you want fancy, keep looking. We found this hotel clean and comfortable with a nice sized room at an affordable price. Also had in-room coffee.

Red Roof is truly pet friendly. Most motels in the area say pet friendly and charge inflated "pet rent" per night or some per stay. The staff are great. The property is accommodating and the other patrons are friendly. My room was clean-not just pet room clean. We stay here when in the area. The prices have gone up slightly, however, their pet policy makes up for it.

Room was quiet and clean - a good overall experience. But don’t come for the coffee - the room had little ‘coffee machine’ that basically made a water-flavored diluted coffee-like liquid.

First time in this Hotel, we really liked this place. Our room was very clean, room smell clean, beds very comfortable, we had the Family Suite with 2 king size beds plus a sofa/bed very comfortable and lots of space for a family. We really recommend this place and definitely would stay in this hotel again.

Real Review: The location for exploring the Monterey Peninsula is beyond perfect! Walking one block down the hill brings you to a very quiet beach area with fantastic views. It is about four blocks from the center of Pacific Grove, With its restaurants shopping and services. It's about a 10 minute drive to downtown Monterey where all the tourist attractions are, But just far enough away from that area that you don't have a lot of the traffic. Location A+. The facility itself is an older style Craftsman home that has been cut up into apartments. The four apartments upstairs in the main house are by far the best. They have the largest rooms and the most light. One of the rooms I don't remember which one has a large outside deck facing the ocean. The other guest rooms in the back of the house downstairs are dark and small. If I were to book this place again I would definitely make room choice a priority as there is a significant difference. A nice breakfast is served every morning and there is a pleasant garden area outside. There is no traffic on the side street so it is very pleasant to enjoy your morning coffee with a bit of sunshine filtering through the trees. And a friendly cat who came to join me for coffee every morning. The common area of the B and B has some seating and offers a bit of privacy. The bed was comfortable the showers worked well and the bathroom products were high quality.

My husband and I adored our stay at the Old St. Angela Inn. It was the perfect quiet bed and breakfast close to Monterey. The owner was wonderful and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. The house was clean, quiet, and in a safe neighborhood. It offered great views of the ocean, excellent proximity to the aquarium and Cannery Row, and even had the cutest neighborhood cat, Bobo, to keep us company! Breakfast was delicious and felt like a homemade meal with love. If we're ever back in the area, we will definitely stay here again.

I booked the room for 2nights. I didn't expect that we would have such a pleasure stay. Very kind personel, clean cozy rooms in schabby chic style, friendly atmosfere, good breakfasts, coffee and tea available. Every day there is information about what will be served for breakfast the next day. Angela was so kind to welcome us even though we came late. She gave us a list of restaurants that she suggests. Thanks to her we found one- really good Italian restaurant, excellent choice, resonable prices ( Il vecchio). Thank You for your hospitality and kindness!

Comfy beds, amazing breakfast (the ladies working the kitchen were very nice too!). Shared areas were clean and relaxing and the garden was really nice for coffee or a break after exploring for the day. St. Angela is walking distance to almost everything in Pacific Grove and downtown Monterey so you can't go wrong with the location!

I had an amazing stay at this hotel, and the highlight was definitely the incredible golf experience! From the moment I arrived, everything was top-notch — the staff were friendly and professional, the check-in process was smooth, and the accommodations were both elegant and comfortable. The golf course was absolutely stunning — beautifully maintained greens, scenic views, and a layout that was both challenging and enjoyable for all skill levels. Tee times were easy to book, and the staff at the course were just as welcoming and helpful as those at the hotel. They even offered helpful tips and local insights that made the rounds even more enjoyable. After golfing, it was great to relax in the hotel’s serene environment, enjoy a delicious meal at the on-site restaurant, and wind down in a cozy, well-appointed room. Everything about this stay felt thoughtfully curated for relaxation and recreation. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of comfort and world-class golf, this is the place. I can’t wait to come back for another round (or two)!

Quail Lodge Resort delivered a flawless 5-star experience during our recent Carmel Valley getaway. The highlight? Two rounds on their immaculately maintained championship course and their beautiful villa rooms! Why it shines: • Golf paradise: Fast greens, strategic design, and serene scenery made every round unforgettable. • Outstanding value: Half the price of Pebble Beach resorts but equally luxurious. • Luxury comfort: Spacious villas overlooking the course, spotless and peaceful. • Top-tier service: Attentive staff at every turn (front desk, pro shop, dining). I love the availability of texting for assistance too! • Great amenities: Delicious breakfasts, relaxing pool, and modern fitness center. Verdict: Quail Lodge is Carmel’s hidden gem—upscale yet unpretentious, with world-class golf and relaxation. Ideal for couples or golf groups. Can't wait to go back! It will be our 18th time within the last 5 years!

We stayed at Quail Lodge to celebrate our daughter’s kindergarten graduation and had such a wonderful experience. The location was perfect for us—close to Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pebble Beach—and the dog-friendly suites were spacious and comfortable. Our daughter loved the scavenger hunt, mini golf, and nightly s’mores, while we enjoyed the pool, steam rooms, and wine hour. The grounds are expansive and beautifully maintained, and we really appreciated how family-friendly the property felt. What impressed us most was the service. When we had a flat tire at checkout, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and back on the road safely. Between the beautiful setting, fun activities, and exceptional hospitality, we can’t wait to come back!

This was our 8th visit to The Quail Lodge Resort, and it’s easy to see why we keep coming back! From the moment we arrive, the customer service is always exceptional—staff members are friendly, attentive, and make us feel right at home. The resort’s atmosphere is calm, peaceful, and perfect for truly unwinding. The spa services are wonderful and leave us feeling completely refreshed every time. We also love the fun 9-hole putting course—it’s such a great way to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Each visit reminds us why this is one of our favorite places to escape. The combination of excellent service, a relaxing environment, and enjoyable amenities makes The Quail Lodge Resort a true gem. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!

If you want to go someplace where the staff is extremely helpful and friendly and not have a care in the world, Quail Lodge is your place. My husband and I have been going to Quail Lodge for years. The restaurant is romantic but also perfect with friends. It’s my husbands favorite favorite golf course and the 9 hole putting course is perfect and both are extremely well maintained as are the grounds. The rooms have a lovely window seat that is the perfect place to read and relax!

Great view, great breakfast choices-delivered to our door each day . Enjoyed the fireplace, the jacuzzi tub, and the grounds! They even ironed the pillowcases! Very friendly staff. Close to downtown Carmel restaurants and shops. Room decor pleasant.

Exquisite luxury hotel nestled in the hillside at the top of Mission Street. The room had everything in a spa type setting. The mattress felt like We were resting on a cloud with down pillows and comforter. The beautiful bathroom had a jacuzzi tub with beautiful robes and toiletries. The morning breakfast was served in a darling basket filled with berries, croissants, yogurt, orange juice, coffee etc. we felt like we were on a cruise. Walking downhill to Ocean Ave, where everything is located was close by, but is a little hard for someone with bad knees like my husband. This will always be our first choice for accommodations... no need to look further. We loved it!

We had a lovely trip to Tradewinds. The location was perfect; quiet but walking distance down to the main drag. The partial ocean view was better than expected. Enjoyed the balcony. Cookies upon check in was a nice touch, and the breakfast basket was very convenient (overnight oats were the stand out!) It definitely did get warm, but having two fans really helped, though they were a little noisy. A ceiling fan would be nice. We were in room 20 which was in the corner and very private, and the ceiling was very high which was great for my tall husband. The only downside was walking up two flights after coming uphill at the end of the day haha. The room was very clean, bed was comfortable (my husband found it a little too soft for his liking) and bedding and pillows were excellent. Appreciated the little bar area with sink and cooler, full length mirror, light up makeup mirror, makeup washcloth, etc. Nice fluffy towels. TV does have an HDMI hookup. Separate shower was a bit small but water pressure was excellent and water was always hot! Agree with other comments about the limited parking - it is tight but we never had an issue getting a spot, even on a weekend. The ambience of the courtyard was nice, especially the water features, the torches, and fire pit. Would definitely come back!

This place is magical. We stayed in room 19 and it was perfect. The room was so cozy, the bed was very comfortable, the fireplace, balcony and view were amazing. It was quiet and peaceful. The bathtub jets were so relaxing. We loved all of it and will definitely be back.

Review of Tradewinds Carmel – Room 28 My stay at the Tradewinds Carmel was nothing short of magical. I stayed in Room 28, tucked away at the very top of the hill, and it offered truly breathtaking ocean views from both inside and the private balcony. The room itself was a peaceful retreat—spacious, with soaring ceilings and beautiful exposed wood beams that added to the charm. One of my favorite features was the gas fireplace, which turned on easily with a switch and timer—perfect for a cozy evening. The overall vibe of the hotel is serene and Zen-like with lush, tropical touches throughout the property. The front desk clerk and her assistant were both incredibly kind and welcoming, providing top-notch service from the moment I arrived. I also appreciated how safe and convenient the parking was, with dedicated lots for each section of the building. Without a doubt, Tradewinds is now my go-to place to stay in Carmel. I can’t wait to return!

This quaint hotel has lots of character! It’s an older building but well maintained. The staff was very friendly, and the afternoon wine and cheese reception was a nice touch and much appreciated after a long travel day. We arrived early, and they were happy to store our luggage until our room was ready so we could do some shopping in town. They also stored our luggage after checkout the next day so we could visit the Aquarium . We loved that it was centrally located on Cannery Row. Lots of shops and restaurants in the immediate area with in walking distance. We were beachfront, and I highly recommend requesting a beach view room. The windows opened to hear the ocean waves, and they provided binoculars for wildlife viewing which was amazing! We saw sea lions playing and whales in the ocean. This was the highlight of our stay! Our room was cozy with a fireplace, and decorated beautifully. They provided a complimentary continental breakfast brought to our room at our requested time. I would have liked a few more options for breakfast like muffins or bagels. And parking is valet only which was not ideal. But, All in all, it was a wonderful stay!

Everything was perfect. All the staff was very helpful and pleasant to interact with. The free breakfast and afternoon wine&cheese hour was really nice. We were able to do a paid upgrade to an ocean view room at check in and thank god we did because you can’t beat that view and experience you get by being able to watch the sunrise/sunset and all the cute little otters floating in the bay from the comfort of your own room. The room was very clean with lots of space and such a cozy, luxurious vibe. The bathroom was very nice as well. Honestly everything was perfect all around, I can’t wait to return and will be telling everyone I know they have to stay here if taking a trip to Monterey.

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for 2 nights. It was perfect. Friendly, professional and helpful staff and the loveliest ambience in the hotel. We had a street view room, it was cosy, very comfortable and we couldn’t have wished for more. The breakfast was simple bit tasty (yoghurts, fruit, cereal and pastries) and delivered to your room at time requested. There is also a cheese and wine reception in reception area at 4.30. We are on a bit of a California road trip and have stayed in some lovely hotels, but this was our favourite.

The most amazing view to be at the front of the beach was exceptional loved the service the persons of the front desk very friendly and valet parking was wonderful person ,cleaning lady thank you and the breakfast was also delicious thank you to the person was bringing every morning our breakfast we loved and also everything was close to us , shopping, restaurants Thank you

What a charming hotel. It is right in the middle of the action on Cannery Row, which allowed walking everywhere - shops, restaurants, attractions. The entire staff was professional, kind, engaging and helpful. From the valet parking, to the front desk, the housekeeping, everyone was lovely. The delivered breakfast each morning on a silver tray was a treat, as was the wonderful window seat in our room, where the windows opened and looked out the ocean and the beach below. The fireplace seating area was a bonus! The bed, linens and pillows were all comfy and cozy and the room and bathroom were very clean. Oh, and the fridge/coffee area was a great bonus too. And finally, the wine and cheese daily reception was so unexpected and quaint, and nice place to get to know your fellow hotel mates, while enjoying a lovely wood-burning fire in the incredible lobby fireplace.

Stayed 1 night. The first room I was given was in the 2-story building at back of property (rooms 17-24). Unfortunately, those rooms have big trees which block almost all of the south-facing sun. Room 17 was quite dark and thankfully because the inn was not busy, I was able to move to room 10 which was sunny, and had a sliding door that went out to the pool area. Room was fine but the walls are thin so you can hear neighbors. I don't usually like hotel pools as they are often too cold for me. This pool, however was really lovely - it was at least 85 degrees (if not 90!) and I believe it was salt water. No intense chlorine smell or eye sting. I didn't want to get out & went swimming twice - in the early evening and the next morning, as the temperature was fantastic. Sat and relaxed by the pool with a book, & had a nice conversation with other guests. An extended continental b'fast is served; some fun guests from Palo Alto invited me to sit with them while I had my coffee. Gorgeous views of the Santa Lucia Mountains in dining area. Village about 10 minute walk on the side of the road (just be careful). Had a tasty chicken satay & salad dinner at Trailside Cafe. The pool alone might be worth a return trip to the Hidden Valley Inn. Staying during a slow time (right before summer crowds) was perfect. Too bad they don't have an outdoor jacuzzi for guests, as that would be great for fall and winter visits. Best rooms for sunlight and warmth would be 1-16.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, tucked away in its own peaceful valley but still very close to a charming little town. The location is perfect for a quiet escape. The beds were very comfortable, and both the room and bathroom were spotless. We loved the pool area, where you could relax and even enjoy some fun social games. The whole atmosphere was serene, making it the perfect place to unwind. Breakfast pastries were an appreciated treat! For the price I paid, it was quite affordable, and the staff were always friendly and helpful, adding to the pleasant experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

Hidden Valley Inn is a charming little hotel in great location! We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Carmel Valley. We were attending a workshop at the Hidden Valley Music Seminar next door to the hotel. It was a 2 minute walk from our room to the meeting venue. The hotel staff were polite and professional. The facilities/grounds were beautiful, very clean, and well maintained. The pastries in the morning were delicious! (They were fresh from a local bakery, not pre-packaged from a grocery store.) We stayed in a Garden View King room. It was spacious, clean, and comfortable, though our particular room did not have any sort of desk or a dresser. We had a 5 night stay, so it would have been nice to put away all of our clothes neatly folded. We did use drawers in the 2 nightstands for some clothing and there were several hangers in the closet for others. (This was a minor inconvenience, but not a deal breaker.) The hotel is a short walk (1/2 mile, 15 minute walk) to Carmel Valley Village where there are several cafes/restaurants, markets/small grocery stores, and lots of wine tasting rooms. It is about 3 miles (7 minute drive) to Garland Ranch Regional Park which has several miles of really nice walking & hiking trails.

The Hidden Valley Inn is our new favorite place to stay in the Carmel area. It's tucked down the hill from Carmel Valley village in a quiet location. Our room was spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet. The bed was particularly comfy. For pet owners, the setup is perfect because the dog friendly rooms are bottom-floor with easy access to outside in the quietest part of the property (so no coming and going of cars to disturb the pup). Closet in the room was also spacious and the common areas (pool and games) looked lovely. From the inn, you are close enough to town that you could walk (though I wouldn't because of the hill and traffic).

We had a great experience at this hotel. The employees were very friendly and helpful. Property has been recently renovated and was told that they are still making more improvements. Super clean. Pastries and coffee for breakfast were delicious. Restaurants within a mile from the hotel, we had dinner at the Trailside Cafe and had life music. Will visit again in the Spring.

Wow, this place is mind blowing. The Whitewater views are exceptional. The whole facility is opulent. When we checked in, they gave my partner champagne and me cider. From 4 to 6 they had wine and once again cider for me. From 7 to 8 they had incredible chocolate chip cookies which we loved. Breakfast was amazing with hash-browns, quiche, various cut up, fruits, oatmeal, croissants, pound cakes, juices, coffee, and tea. All of this was included as well as free Wi-Fi, no resort fee, and tons of free street parking. The room was beautiful, elegant and very comfortable. Everything was spotless and the bed was extremely comfortable. The view out of the room was beautiful. I simply can’t say enough. Also the staff were very nice and we got to meet the manager, Veronica, who runs a tight ship. We loved it here. Highly highly recommended. Also the walking path across the street on the ocean was so beautiful.

What a special place to stay! From the moment we arrived the staff was friendly and welcomed us with a glass of champagne. We stayed in the two bedroom Jewel Cottage which was perfect for two couples. It had a spacious living room with fireplace and a kitchen with refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. The two bedrooms were beautiful, the beds and linens luxurious, and the bathrooms well appointed. The artwork, stained glass and furnishings throughout the cottage were delightful. And the ocean views were lovely out of every room. Breakfast was delicious and served in a lovely dining room. We could not have been happier with our stay at Seven Gables and look forward to making it an annual event. The breakfast was wonderful and served in

What an incredible find! From the moment we checked in the staff was so friendly and helpful. We were welcomed with a glass of great champagne and then shown to our room which was really lovely (Seascape.) The ocean breeze was perfect and the bed, pillows, and all the accommodations were super classy and gorgeous all around. The location is absolutely perfect as well. It comes with a nice healthy breakfast and the only thing missing was the ability to have an espresso drink while enjoying the homemade goodies and fresh fruit (they have coffee but fussy me would love for them to invest in an espresso machine!) Gold stars all around and we can't wait to return!

First, the facility. This inn is as good, if not better than advertised. The inn is absolutely amazing. The room my wife and I had was beautiful and very comfortable. We had a full, unobstructed view of Monterey Bay and all the beautiful coastline. Each morning, we enjoyed our coffee while watching otters and dolphins right out in front of us. The morning breakfast provided was delicious and fresh made. The evening cookies were delicious and a really nice treat. The staff were beyond kind and always communicated to see how our stay was going. This bed and breakfast get 10 stars from us. We will certainly be back.

The whole hotel has stunning ocean views and the decor is cozy and unique. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hotel buffet breakfast was very enjoyable! Our room was not huge but our bed was comfortable and the view was lovely.

Clean and well maintained! The pillows are soft and the bed is nice and firm. Coffee machine and fridge in room also. Few parking spaces in the center but plenty of street parking although we stayed in the middle of the week. This property is centrally located in between shopping and the beach. Carmel has a very beautiful & clean beach. The sand is white and powdery. Shopping and dining is plentiful in this area also. The hotel itself is clean and updated, and the staff are very kind and helpful. Cecile and Jane at the front desk are very welcoming. The breakfast is a bonus, simple but complete. They have toast, pastries, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, oj, coffee, tea and hot cocoa. The dining room is small but very efficient, a staff is there to help out and make sure everything is clean and orderly. I will surely stay here again when I’m visiting. Thank you so much Normandy Inn!

The location is perfect. It’s between the beach and the town on the main road, so everything is easily accessible. We parked our car and didn’t use it again until we left. A block away is a coffee shop and a fantastic bakery, with so many wonderful food options and incredible art galleries everywhere. The place itself is cute and very clean with lots of flowers and a blue and white motif. Although our room was facing the street it was still quiet and the bed was comfortable. There was a mini fridge and coffee maker in the room. No microwave though. The shower had super hot water (appreciated!) A light breakfast was included (cereal, yogurt, pastries). Overall a great place to stay!

We spent two nights at the end of March 2025 at the Normandy Inn. The location of the Inn is perfect and extremely convenient to all the shops, restaurants and the beach. There was no need to even move the car while in town. We luckily found either street parking or at the inn each time, but we only moved the car twice all weekend. I can see it being an issue if you are going to be moving the car a lot. We had a cottage that was right on Ocean Ave, although it was adorable, you did hear plenty of street noise. It was not a big deal for us since we didn't spend much time in the room, but I would request a cottage off the main street next time. It did have a lovely garden area with a table and chairs that was nice to just sit and relax. The daily breakfast was nice and included: breads, yogurts, granola, oatmeal, coffee and juice. The person helping in the mornings was very sweet making sure we had everything we needed. The cottage itself was comfortable. Nice bed & bathroom and everything very clean. It also has a small fridge which was convenient. It did smell a little musty every time you walked in but was not a problem for us. We had a great stay and will be back.

The Normandy Inn was in a perfect location right on Ocean Avenue. It was very convenient to the shops, restaurants and beach. We did not have to move our car at all while in town. Parking can be a little tricky as it’s street parking or very limited spaces at the inn. Check in was nice and easy and we stayed in a cottage that was right on ocean. Although it was adorable, next time I would request a room away from the Main Street as the noise level was a lot at times. We were hardly ever in the room so it was not an issue for us. Room was very comfortable and clean however did have a musty smell for the first few minutes every time you came in. Breakfast was lovely, the woman helping there was very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. It was a good assortment of breads, yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, coffee and juice. It was a great stay, would come back again for the convenient location!

Great Location, Clean and Very Charming and Quaint Inn. Staff was very welcoming and complementary breakfast was acceptable. The room and furnishings we nice and the bed and bedding comfortable. The shower and bathroom were pretty big and hot water was quick and plentiful. There is small.geated pool we saw several.guest taking advantage of. We enjoyed the shops and art galleries and places to eat. Hint... the grocery and deli at the top of the hill behind the small park had lunch specials that were affordable fresh and delicious. Scenic road at the base of hill running along the homes and beaches was a nice 3 mile round trip.walk along the ocean and beach. Point Lobos State Park and the old mission a must do when in the area

Breakfast brought to the room everyday was a treasure! The hors d'oeuvres hour was such a treat. Wonderful and helpful staff. Jacuzzi tub was like a personal hot tub in the room.

We had a wonderful long weekend at the Carriage House. To begin, we had shipped multiple packages in advance (we live overseas where receiving deliveries is much more difficult). The staff was super helpful in keeping us informed on deliveries and safekeeping all the stuff we sent. The place overall and our room looked modest and a bit dated from the outside, but inside was completely renovated, spacious, clean, comfortable, and just lovely. The location is exceptionally convenient... central and an easy walk to everything - restaurants, shops, galleries, the beach... but not so far into town which helps avoid the heaviest traffic in the high season. I don't typically write reviews, but in this case it was really an exceptional stay and we would definitely return.

This Inn is very quaint while having all the modern amenities. Centrally located to downtown Carmel-By-The-Sea so walking to restaurants and shops is easy and close by. Breakfast is included and after filling out your order form the day before, is delivered to your room at the time you designate! Every bit of our stay was enjoyable and comfortable. The bed, pillows and linens were exceptional. I even asked if the bed pillows were for sale I liked them so much! (They are not)Haha. Staff is very personable as well as helpful giving us recommendations for dinner and dining. Our room decor was very relaxing in muted tones which made it attractive.

This hotel was wonderful. It was very charming. When we arrived we were both given a glass of wine, and helped to our room. We also ordered free breakfast of our choice, to be delivered at our specified time (we had coffee, two types of quiche, croissant, bran muffin and juice). There was plenty of FREE parking, within the bounds of the hotel grounds, protected by walls. They had an ice station with a filtered water station, and gave us two really nice, complimentary, metal “hydro flasks”. The room was well stocked with towels, slippers, robes, glasses, coffee cups, and a beverage station. The refrigerator had complimentary sparkling water and sparkling apple juice. There were also multiple snacks and fresh baked cookies. The bed was divine. It had a feather topper and a feather duvet. There was a fire place (gas/auto) and heater. No air conditioning, but there is a ceiling fan, and it was cool enough outside that we slept with the window open and enjoyed the coastal clean air. There are also plantation shutters for privacy. The service was superb. On top of everything, the staff had the sunset time on a board, and reminded us not to miss it. So, we walked about a quarter mile to the beach and watched a stunning sunset. Plenty of restaurants in the area. We went to Brophy’s and had a burger, that was really tasty. They had a lot of beers on tap too. FIVE STAR SERVICE.

The Carriage house was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Breakfast is served in your room every morning which was delightful. Snacks and water are replenished every day and are included in the price. There is a complimentary wine tasting every evening 5-6pm served alongside some snacks. Ample secure parking is included in the cost. All the staff we encountered on our 5 night stay were lovely and very helpful. The location is perfect just a stones throw away from the restaurants and shops. We ate at the mission ranch and the mission bistro both nice places our favourite was the pacific edge restaurant fab food and service with a sunset view to die for. We also ate at the Greek place Dametra, the food resembled that of a Saturday night kebab in the UK if that is your thing then expect to pay $100 for two chicken kebabs!!! Disappointing from our perspective. We enjoyed the 17 mile drive, whale watching in Monterey, 6 mile hike around lobos point and a little retail therapy and fairytale cottage spotting in Carmel by the Sea.

Hotel stay was amazing. The front desk when we checked in was super friendly. I believe one was named Alex. It’s true, you do get champagne at check in. And also , they sent us down the street for sister hotel happy hour, and they also gave us free champagne and snacks. The room was very cute, loved the fire place and super modern. The next day we went to the “complimentary breakfast” and I’m pleased to say it was exceptional. Five stars isn’t enough. Mimosas, fresh delicious pastries, a fancy and cute yogurt bar, fresh fruit, boiled eggs, fresh sourdough bread if you want toast. This was for my girlfriend’s birthday weekend and the hotel really made our stay perfect. Can’t wait until we can go again. Walking distance to anything you could need, as well a the beach.

This cute hotel was remodeled with a French theme that was very well executed at this small but clean hotel that is conveniently located at the top of Ocean Ave. The design details and use of the small space in the rooms is impressive, but not perfect. It lacked room to unpack our bags properly (a few hangers are provided) and was surprised that the few pieces of furniture lacked drawers but it was ok since we were only there a few nights. Super clean, cute, convenient and comfortable for a weekend in Carmel with convenient off street parking. No pool or other amenities other than a nice patio and a small but yummy continental breakfast bar. Unfortunately, the staff seemed to care less about the guests and, more often than not, about being there at all. They fulfilled the minimum requirements of their jobs in a robotic manner that seemed so odd I wondered (as a person who manages 3 hospitality properties myself) if they were actually told to be “unfriendly like the French” as part of the hotel theme. (BTW, the French are very friendly). The silver lining was the sweet & helpful housekeeping team who stood out as helpful and caring. I’d stay here again for the convenience, comfort & cleanliness, but wouldn’t expect great service or smiling faces from the front desk staff.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, from the front desk to around the property. A few minutes after we settled in our room, there was a knock on our door and a staff member delivered a delicious fresh chocolate chip cookie for each of us, served on a lovely plate (this tradition happened every evening)! The room took our breath away with a “Country French” theme and well thought-out details of our room. It felt like a warm hug after the hustle and bustle of the day. Breakfast was served each morning in the main lobby, with tables inside and outside. Breakfast included fresh pastries from a local bakery, soft boiled eggs and a variety of fresh fruit, served with coffee, tea and juices. Also, if you have a disability, we were impressed that our “handicapped parking space was right in front of our ground floor room for easy unloading.

We loved everything about this property! The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and parking our car was easy. The room was spacious and comfortable, with an electric fireplace - functional for heat and wonderful for ambiance. The luxurious extras were amazing - from the robes to the slippers and even a Nespresso coffee maker in the room. If we were staying longer, we would have taken advantage of the complimentary bicycles they offer to guests. The glass of wine and fresh baked cookies upon arrival were a welcome surprise, and complimentary breakfast was way more than we expected in both presentation and variety - all of it delicious. All in all, this was our favorite overnight stop on our trip down the PCH, and would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Carmel-by-the-Sea.

The hotel is amazing! The room is very cozy, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the breakfast is delicious and included in the price. The hotel is within walking distance of all the shops, restaurants, and the beach. I especially want to highlight the interior design and the love and care with which everything has been selected!

Great location in the bay, you can watch seals and otters in their habitat. The room was very spacious and clean. Breakfast served to the room- you can select food the day before and have it on your balcony. Comfortable bed. Small jacuzzi on the top floor.

Really enjoyed the room. Size made it feel less cramped and more like sitting in your own home. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. Had good choices. Whole experience was good. Only down side was the smell around the jacuzzi. It had a bathroom order.

Great experience. Jacuzzi could be a bit warmer..

Location, convenience, loved the outside hang out areas. The roof top jacuzzi was a lovely surprise

This was our first time here . We usually stay at The Portola . We wanted to try a new hotel that was closer to cannery row and had ocean views . The young man that greeted us at the check in was very courteous and professional . He really set the tone for our stay . We were granted a high floor , as requested . I did pay for an ocean view w/balcony. I have to say it was a beautiful view , but not full ocean view, I had a street view as well which was disappointing . The room was very spacious and very clean . The bathroom was very spacious and clean . They are definitely in need of better lighting and updates . I do love that the toilet is separate . We had a fridge with complimentary waters which we appreciated . Continental breakfast was included and very convenient . It’s brought to your room so you can enjoy in bed or on your balcony . LOVED THIS! It’s not a lot of food, but it’s good enough to get your day started pastries and fruit were very fresh . My only complaint is the coffee. It was not very good. But again , it was so convenient and nice to have brought up to your room. The 4th floor jacuzzi had magnificent views of the bay ! Perfect place ! Please add another one ! We hope to return soon !

A very nice complementary breakfast that you go get yourself each morning Wine from 5 to 7 PM at Jacuzzi

The fresh pastries from the local bakery and the coffee were really tasty. We loved having our coffee on the porch and then our morning quiet beach walk before heading out for site seeing. We loved the jacuzzi, the the complimentary wine and the sunset beach walk at the end of the day. Our kids loved the little popcorn maker and the fresh popcorn in the room. Amazing location as we love scenic beach walks.

Such a cute place. Spacious rooms with wood fireplaces. Outdoor hottub, so bring swimsuits. Breakfast included + wine in the evenings! Close to everything in Monterey and Pacific Grove in a cute, quiet community. Lots of people walking dogs in the morning. The little touches made this a special experience. We will be returning.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly hotel with areas to take them out on site with clean up bags. We had a room with 2 queen beds for my granddaughter and me. Mini fridge with frozen items shelf, microwave, coffee maker, popcorn maker with bowl and popcorn. Beds are good, soft pillows, spotlessly clean and spacious room, and soft clean towels. Toiletries provided, too! Breakfast included: hard cooked eggs, coffee, pastries, hot and cold cereal, fresh fruit, waffles, bagels and fixings for them. Very quiet location near a supermarket and lovely area to walk the dogs nearby, as well. Reasonable prices. Lots of memorabilia from the Pebble Beach Pro Am from the past, and a motorcycle that kids can climb on. Nice hot tub. Ice and vending machines on site. Quick hop to 17 Mile Drive and Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf, and all the golf courses. All in all a great stay and Id' go there again!

We recently stayed in one of the tent cabins at the Carmel River Inn. It was a fun change of pace, and a great way to escape the heat in the Bay Area. Our tent was the definition of "glamping" – a tent connected to a kitchenette and bathroom – super clean, with every single detail attended to, from the supplies in the kitchenette to the bathroom. The bed was comfortable, but nothing to write home about. (I'll be honest, a more comfortable mattress would have made this a 5-star review in every category.) I love nothing more than to travel and sleep in a bed more comfortable than my own (which isn't asking for much). That said, tent cabins may not be for the faint of heart. It was mostly very quiet and we tried to stay quiet to not disturb our neighbors (who are pretty close, to be honest). We LOVED all the bird sounds, and frogs, and we're pretty sure we heard foxes, too. However, one thing we heard was the salesman next door on Zoom calls from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. one morning. In his defense, I don't think he knew we could hear him (and the person he was talking to, also), and we didn't take any action (we didn't contact the office or speak to him). But it's something to be aware of if you're looking for complete quiet. We were there for three days, and of the neighbors who came and went, including a family with kids, he was the most disruptive. of them. Would we return? Absolutely. BTW, photos don't do this place justice. Adorable cabins, great landscaping.

I highly recommend Carmel River Inn over any motel or hotel. I spent four nights with my parents, age 86 and 90, and we enjoyed the beautiful flowers and shady trees surrounding the inn and cabins. There’s a lovely little garden path at one end. The cabins and gardens are laid out in a loop like a small, well-designed neighborhood. We stayed in a cabin with two comfy queen beds and wet bar/kitchenette, which included a small fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker with complimentary coffee and tea, sink, plates, bowls and utensils. Very clean and comfortable. It looks like a few cabins are ADA accessible. Ours had four steps to the front door, which my parents were able to climb. Very friendly and helpful staff.

This place is amazing, you have no idea how close you are to Highway 1, so convenient yet so peaceful. We had a cabin with a wet bar and our friends had a cabin with a full kitchen, they were both wonderful. It is a large property but the well lit paths lets you easily wander around. The landscaping was beautiful and serene. We had our dog with us and was easy to walk him around the grounds. The cabin was well equipped we cooked dinner at our friend’s cabin one night and didn’t need for anything. Ours had microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and sink. Beds were super comfy and it was so quiet at night we all slept really well. The soap and hair products were of high quality and smelled really good. I’m hoping to go back. Location is perfect, it took minutes to get to downtown Carmel and major shopping centers are across highway 1.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Carmel River Inn Cottages. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the everyday hustle. The cottages have so much charm, cozy, clean, and thoughtfully decorated with that quintessential Carmel vibe. The private patios and gardens made it feel like our own little sanctuary. Staff were incredibly warm and helpful, and the location is ideal. Just a quick drive to downtown Carmel and the beach. We woke up to birdsong and went to bed with the stars overhead. If you’re looking for something authentic, relaxing, and full of character, skip the chain hotels and stay here. We can’t wait to come back!

Large room, very comfortable bed. Nice view of the river from my balcony. I got complimentary coffee each morning at the office, rather than using the generic hotel coffee in the room. So much better, from a local coffee roaster! Very friendly office staff. The only negative was that there was a fair amount of road noise during the day.

I am so so glad we chose to stay here and we will absolutely be returning. We stayed in the McClatchy room and loved it, the bed was nice and firm and the furnishings were adorable - like stepping into another era and all beautifully maintained. The highlight was the breakfast service (served from 8 am to 10 am) in the front dining hall with panoramic ocean views and tons of visible otters. They even provide several pairs of binoculars near the windows for guests to share so the views were even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, they have a different special each day and we got to enjoy the Castroville eggs on Friday, custard French toast on Saturday, and corn cake with bacon and eggs on Sunday. They also have coffee and ice water available in the lobby all day. Of note, the rooms do not include microwave, mini fridge, or television so be sure to plan accordingly when packing! We brought a travel projector and had no problems. Tons of outlets for chargers etc. Walking distance to the aquarium and cannery row shops. We really enjoyed Hula’s Grill for dinner while we were in town! Can’t wait to back. :)

Our stay was close to perfect. I knew the view would be great, but I wasn't expecting to be able to hear the waves at night from our comfortable four-poster bed. We had the corner room with huge windows as well as a small window that opened. A great bonus. (Also a friendly seagull who looked in at us. Don't know what other posters are complaining about.) The room was big and spotless. No closet, but a nice old wardrobe, slightly creaky, but with character. I prefer to not have a fridge, since it makes noise. And who needs TV? The shower in the claw-footed was a bit tricky. That's my only complaint. We went for a lovely walk along the water and saw baby seals. Breakfast was good, and everyone was very friendly. The sitting room was nice, with games and books. Christmas decorations made everything feel even more special.

Overall somewhat disappointed in the property. Location was good for the monterey Bay Aquarium which was the primary purpose of our trip but other then that not very walkable to restaurants, tide pooling options or the wharf . Staff was not particularly friendly when we had questions and the check in process was rather awkward. You have to ring a doorbell and wait for someone to answer and let you in. Parking was great once you figured out where it was located on Ocean View below the property). Breakfast was limited but tasty and coffee was not available until 8:00 when breakfast service started which is inconvenient if you’re an early riser. Would probably opt to stay at a airb and b on a future trip .

This is a wonderful property. I choose it for the proximity to the beach and walking distance to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Check in was simple and we were delighted with the room and the dining room as well as the lovely sitting room across from our room (Art Deco). Breakfast was delicious and the dining room overlooked the Bay. Every breakfast was different and delicious, and the coffee was good and strong. The staff was friendly also.

This place was amazing and the breakfast was delicious. Walkable to the Main Street and the ocean view is great. Clean and quiet place

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. There were plenty of towels. We couldn't sit comfortably on the vinyl sofa because it was so far off the ground. So the only place 4 adults could sit was on the bed and in the 2 chairs in the room, which made it awkward for conversations. We had 4 adults staying in the 2 king bed suite. The tiny complementary bottle of shampoo, conditioner, Dove bar soap, and lotion were only enough for 1 adult. We had to use the bar soap to wash our hands at the sink, and it was too small to shower with. We enjoyed drinking the cafe lattes and gourmet coffees in the lobby. Although the chairs in the lobby were cool and modern, they were not comfortable to sit on for more than a few minutes. Between the ridiculously tall vinyl sofa in the hotel room that you can't sit on without dangling your legs, and the uncomfortable chairs in the lobby, there was no place for us to sit and have conversations and enjoy drinking the coffee. It makes it for an uninviting lobby for family traveling together to congregate.

This was my second stay here for our annual family Super Bowl Bash. The hotel is modern, clean and the staff is awesome. My room was clean and the bed was comfy. Good shower with plenty of hot water was a plus. I am a serious coffee drinker so the coffee/espresso machine in the lobby was a dream come true. I highly recommend this place if you need a place to stay in the area.

Great for the price. Already booked our next stay here. The beds were comfortable king sized beds and rooms were very spacious. Our room and bathroom were really clean. The coffee maker in the room wasn’t the best (not k cups) but they have a really great coffee (with reg coffee, cappuccinos, lattes etc.) and flavored soda water machines in the lobby. The only things we missed were that there isn’t a pool or breakfast but the savings in the price per night more than make up for the lack of those amenities.

Generously big rooms for “just” a standard room with two comfortable king size beds. The rooms + bathroom are modern and, most importantly, very clean! The hotel is well located in Marina with few good restaurants and very friendly staff (Korean BBQ, Mexican place also good for breakfast) on the opposite side of the road. Easy to get to the freeway, beach, Monterey and surroundings. Would be happy to return anytime, should I be around again. Thumbs up!

The property was super clean, the neighborhood was quiet, it really felt safe which was one of my main concerns. They have a food market, laundry, restaurants all within walking distance. Our room was very clean the staff was very friendly. The lady that checked me out in the morning was so nice. Over all we had a great experience at the hotel. I will definitely be booking here again for vacation next year.

We stayed at Wave Street Inn for a few nights in mid/late June. Upon arrival we encountered what was truly a minor room issue, but the way it was handled by the front desk was incredibly unprofessional, humiliating, and inexcusable, to the point that we asked if we could check out of this motel early, without a penalty (and the only reason for the missing 5th stars). Jon came to our rescue, and went so above and beyond to make things right for us. He gave us a new room (fresh start) and even checked up on us the next day. His genuine concern, professionalism, and friendliness was heartwarming. Christine, too, was helpful to us, giving us great advice about things to do in the area, and Carol was very warm and welcoming when we made our reservations. These are the people (especially Jon) who would make us come back to Wave Street Inn again and again. As for the Inn, it's a reminiscent of a mid-century motel, a bit dated but with tons of character, comfy bed with nice linens, and super strong water pressure in the shower. And nice and clean. If I had one wish: that the motel provided conditioner along with the shampoo. The conditioning shampoo doesn't really work; I thought that the hand lotion was the conditioner and used that the first night. A fun story to tell, anyway! One more huge positive... the location (fantastic) and the AMAZING Wave Street Cafe across the street. Best breakfast ever!

Good location for visitors to Monterey Bay Aquarium. Breakfast across the street. Unfortunately, it was closed for maintenance the 4 days we were there. Breakfast within .4 miles away. Many good restaurants for lunch and dinner close by. Room was clean and comfortable, but hallways and ramps were dirty with trash. Staff was friendly and helpful.

My family and I, we love this hotel. The location is perfect. It’s so close to the Monterey Aquarium, the beaches, both far from Carmel and the Carmel Valley. Yet, it’s in a quiet street, so you can rest well at night or take a nap during the day. The rooms are well furnished, cozy and always clean. Great wifi, parking on premises is always available. Last, but not least is such wonderful and welcoming staff!!! We’ve been here many times and we’ll be back for more.

Staff very helpful. I liked the layout of building, room had good light, space, clean and very comfy bed. Good shower, again spacious. Parking on site was helpful. Appreciated the fire pits in the evening to sit outside. Good location. Honestly just really liked this hotel, good ambience.

Welcoming and friendly staff at check in. It was great walking distance from all of the shops and restaurants on Cannary Row. Loved the firepits they have that are light every evening. Comfy Bed and Clean and modern bathroom.

Breakfast exceeded my expectations! The food was excellent. The breakfast room was light and airy. The breakfast staff was friendly and helpful. I expected less but was surprised by my overall breakfast experience. The overall stay was beyond perfect! I think the room was perfect and the fireplace sold the whole deal! The bed was very comfortable and the furniture and bathroom was great!

The entire hotel is so beautiful. The room is adequately sized with a very comfortable bed and chairs. The fireplace is the best feature in the room. It truly add ambiance to the experience. The immenties in the room were very nice. Breakfast is amazing. Quite a feast both mornings. The wine and cheese in the afternoons is a perfect way to wind down from the daily adventures and prepare for dinner. All employees we came in contact with were extremely friendly, helpful and always ready to answer any questions or help. It is situated in a great location that allows for walking to sights and hiking trails. And there is any type of restaurant you could want within a short walk from the hotel. Easy to use parking area which is covered and so welcome.

Breakfast was excellent ! I had expected a typical continental variety of cereals and premade baked goods but they also had hot choices, like oatmeal, egg fritattas, waffles. The staff is prompt, so nice and friendly! Happy hour is an added bonus. The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. Having the fireplace is so nice for ambiance end warming up after a cooler day. The bathroom has two separate sinks, which is great for couples and families to get ready. The facilities are so beautiful and well kept! The location is perfect, close to all the main attractions and restaurants. We walked everywhere ! CVS and other essential services are within walking distance. Overall, we had a beautiful and peaceful stay at the Victoran Inn and look forward a future stay for sure!

Clean and comfortable, professionally managed, location close to attractions and restaurants. Breakfast dining room small, but comfortable., but breakfast above average in quality and taste, with staff assistance. If you brought a pet, they are made to feel welcome. Rooms large and fireplace adds a nice touch. I especially like the linens as they are not home laundered but use a service,so felt clean and crisp. A sign to me of wanting your guest to feel comfortable.

Have been to the Monterey Bay area several times. This was our first visit in 9 years and decided to do something different, stay closer to Cannery Row but not right there. We normally stay on Munras Ave but recent reviews of the lodging there has been mixed lately. Found this establishment a few blocks from the Row. Ideally located walking distance (5 minute walk) from the Row, the V.I. offers and ideal location and comfortable lodging. The room was very clean in a quiet area. Surrounded by gardens and nice outdoor seating areas adds to the ambience. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was ample size. Almost forgot to mention the gas fireplace which also adds to the vintage atmosphere.. The staff was very friendly and the free breakfast offered a good selection. What we really liked was the quiet location again, not wanting to stay on Cannery Row where it can be noisy. Overall great first stay. Would definitely come back.

Great location. Very nicely refurbished motel property. Nice hospitality—fresh baked cookies each day/evening, fresh fruit at front desk, filtered water, fire pit every evening. Very nicely appointed room product. Fire place, jacuzzi, big bathroom, screened windows so you can open them up.

jacuzzi, room size, cleanliness, location . it is amazing

Room #20 is the best. Pillows are soft, fluffy duvet, bed is comfy !! Fireplace nice, we used the in-room jacuzzi. Hotel room has real wine glasses, wine opener, ice bucket. Cookies in office are complimentary, and delicious! Location is epic. Walk to everything close by in town. Had dinner at Mission Ranch Inn, incredible views, piano bar was fun. We will definitely come back.

This was lodging number five on a two week road trip with my (former) significant other from San Marcos to San Francisco. The location is pretty good, as the Main Street is just a few minutes away and to get there is a simple walk both to the shops and restaurants and to the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful and the cookies and tea at reception are great. Nice room, the jacuzzi was a definite plus. Should I return to Carmel someday, I would likely stay here again.

We always stay here when in Carmel by the Sea. Location is great and the rooms are very comfortable. We like the larger room with jacuzzi tub. Front desk folks always very nice and helpful. We love the deli right around the corner to grab any variety of items either for the room or to take away for the day.

Vintage room style well kept and clean. The HVAC worked well and was relatively quiet when active. Bathroom had excellent counter space and shelving (underneath the sink and on side wall). Sink stopper was did not tightly seal when closed but worked as expected. Appreciated the provided hair dryer. Ample parking near room. The property has an excellent location within easy walking distance to coffee shops, french bakeries, downtown restaurants and shops and to the fisherman's wharf and the coastal walk. The property restaurant Esteban was delightful with a nice covered outdoor seating section. The cocktail drinks seemed light on the alcohol so maybe order wine or beer instead. Food was acceptable but not outstanding. Prices are a bit high for the quality. Very pet friendly. Exceptionally clean outdoor landscaping with a dedicated grass pet area. Bags provided for cleaning up after your pet. There is even a pet menu at Esteban Restaurant!

Pros: Location: The location for the property is great. It is a short drive to attractions like Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf, etc. Restaurant and bar: We ate at the restaurant for dinner. The appetizers and drinks were delicious and we love that they had a kids menu. Comfortable stay: Beds were comfortable and cozy.

Took a short two night trip to Monterey and decided on Casa Munras as our hotel. We stayed in a concierge room with a king bed and fireplace. When we arrived we assumed we would be in one of the motel-style rooms around the parking lot. Instead, our room was in the same building as the check in desk and restaurant, on the second floor. It was up a set of stairs and there was no elevator, but that wasn't too much of an issue as we didn't have much luggage. The room was large with the fireplace right in at the foot of the bed. The tub in the bathroom was huge with high walls, which my wife enjoyed a lot The bed was comfortable though the pillows were way too soft for my tastes (two pillows basically collapsed flat and my head was practically on the mattress). It was quiet for the most part, however we had a window that overlooked the main road and there was a bit of street noise. A lot of sirens throughout the night. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and courteous. We walked into downtown Monterey for dinner and breakfast, it was an easy and safe feeling walk. Also easy acres to cannery row, Pebble Beach and the wharf with a car.

Room was very comfortable and pillows. I liked that they had a large vanity area in the bathroom. The room was comfortable at night with the heater. We tried the restaurant for breakfast but sadly it was a miss tor us. Food was salty and my son didn’t even eat his pancakes. That says a lot when that’s all he eats these days. We tried the cafe across the street for coffee. It was good and their pastries as well. We would go back there to try their breakfast items. It seemed like it had more homemade items to offer. Service was meh for breakfast as well. It’s nice they have spa next door if you want a service. Wished their restaurant closed a bit later than 830pm.

This is a lovely property right in the heart of Monterey. It's very easily walkable to tons of shopping and restaurants as well as some great breweries. The unit itself was clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable and the shower pressure and heat was perfect. The fitness center and on-property restaurant were also very conveniently located.

My room was large, clean and comfortable. The property was quiet, had plenty of space for my dogs, was adjacent to the butterfly grove, and quiet. I also enjoyed the large pool and jacuzzi area that had lots of blooming flowers.

Nice location the room was quaint, clean , and quiet. The grounds are very well kept. The staff were awesome and very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely stay here again. Pool and jacuzzi stay open till 10pm.

The room was a great size, had a big tub (it's a Jacuzzi but the jets don't work due to plumbing, but still nice), quiet area, and has a monarch butterfly sanctuary next to it. Check in and out was quick and easy and everyone was pleasant. Gas fireplace in the room was a nice bonus.

This is a great place to stay. Has a very cute atmosphere and is clean. Good location was able to walk to the beach. I wish it was warmer so we could enjoy the pool but the hotub was great.

Very nice inn! Clean comfy room. There is a small refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine in the room which was very nice. Friendly staff. They allow dogs. There is a small grassy area in front of the room to walk a dog if needed. There is bigger field right outside of the property. They have pool and Jacuzzi (but I haven't had a chance to use it). Butterfly sanctuary is literally starts on the same property. There is a cafe at walkable distance from the property. I'll definitely come back again.

Came across these cottages when I was looking up dog friendly places. It was my puppies 1st vacation and I can say it is definitely puppy approved. We loved the enclosed private patio and the park like setting. We took advantage of the common areas like the jacuzzi, ping-pong table and grill/outdoor dinning area. Enjoyed the short walk to the beach. Staff was very friendly and the breakfast and snack items available through the day were convenient. We will definitely be staying here in the future.

Beautiful place. Really nice room with fireplace and plenty of real wood to burn. We had a King bed with jacuzzi tub and a kitchen. The staff is friendly and they are pet friendly. It is a short walk to Asilomar and then a short walk through Asilomar to the beach or you could walk all the way to the end of the road and take the costal trail back to Asilomar and to your room. Highly recommend.

Loved the king bed studio units! Complete with a small kitchenette & fireplace. Ceiling fan to keep cool but no A/C. Location was exceptional! Close to everything we wanted to do. 5 minutes to Pacific Golf Links & the 17 mile drive. 10 minutes to Cannery Row. 10 minute walk to Asilomar State Beach. The units were completely remodeled. Each of our 2 units were configured slightly differently but each had its own sitting area. Beds were super comfy. Bathroom was quite modern. Everything was super clean! You can tell the family who’s owned the property for decades really takes pride in their establishment. The free snacks in the lobby were a sweet surprise daily! Staff were super friendly! Common areas included a jacuzzi and outside tables. Could not have picked a better property!

This place is great. So quiet at night. We loved the room and the private patio. The common grass area is nice. Hot tub is great. 10 min walk to the beach if that long. Staff was very helpful and attentive. I love that you can check out DVD’s for your room. I would stay here again. This is an older property. Family owned for I think 60 years? One of the family members we met because she was working the front desk. You just don’t find that connection very much anymore it was nice to know we were staying at a property that was family owned and operated. The folks we talked to gave us all the information we needed when we asked. They are up front about everything. For example they were very transparent about what to expect from the “snack bar”. Another example, I asked where the pet relief area is and was told that the entire property is pet friendly but to please clean up after our pet! They were very up front about if we needed anything to simply ask or if we had any concerns to ask. Common sense right? When we checked in they walked us to our room and showed us how the fireplace works and where everything is. As a pet owner and someone who brings our 50 pound terror dog everywhere, this place was great. Very welcoming and all the things you need. So this place is quaint, cute, fun, definitely pet friendly, quiet, unique, comfortable, welcoming. The only thing I didn’t like was the pillows. They were “different”? 100% would stay here again.

We’ve stayed at every inn, cottage, and hotel along Asilomar Drive in Pacific Grove over at least the past 30 years, and Andril is by far our favorite retreat getaway to recharge. The hosts are on top of every detail and accommodation that they offer. The grounds are manicured beautifully and the rooms are very clean, comfortable, and stocked. You can’t beat the location! Walk to Inn at Spanish Bay by beachside or through the Pebble Beach gate, ride bikes, walk to the beach through Asilomar Conference Center, let the pooch beach run, quick drive to Monterey, loads of restaurants. We love the quiet and laid back atmosphere and to just take time to breathe in the crisp, fresh ocean breeze. They are very pet friendly. Looking forward to our visit again in Sept.

I was impressed by the Bay View Inn. The grounds were beautifully maintained, the facility was very clean, and the room was nicely appointed. I splurged for a bay view room on the top floor, and the views were stunning, with a balcony to sit on to enjoy coffee in the morning or to watch the sunset in the evening. The fireplace added a nice ambiance. We felt very comfortable and were living in luxury. The location is awesome, right in the heart of downtown Carmel, walkable to loads of world class restaurants, galleries, and the beach. The facility also had ample parking, which is necessary in Carmel. I saw many negative reviews about the breakfast, but I enjoyed the simple breakfast: bananas, danishes, yogurt, coffee, juice, cereal, scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage or bacon....No, it's not going to blow you away, but it's nice to have something prepped for you in the morning. So, I was appreciative that it was there. Bottom Line: I will stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

Fabulous.. spacious comfy rooms.. fridge.. coffee maker.. comfy bed.. fizzy water and drinks in the fridge free in our rooms.. snacks.. cakes ect in lobby… we also had an amazing view of the water opposite.. fire pits outside.. very comfy and spacious.. Amazing breakfast … full bacon pancakes.. coffee.. all included…

I can’t say enough about this place. It was so cute! The front desk staff were amazing. We got an ocean view king room on the 4th floor, and you had to drive around to the back street to access the unit (on a big hill), which was super convenient because we didn’t have to use the elevator or stairs. We had room 405 and it had a HUGE balcony with private sitting area, beautiful ocean view. Perfect for watching the sunset. The room was really spacious with a fireplace, no A/C unit, but if you know Carmel, you know you don’t need it because there is a constant cool breeze. There’s also a window that you can open with a screen to let the breeze in. The bed was very comfortable! This place was so close to everything. A few blocks away from downtown. So much to do in this adorable little town. We were here for our honeymoon and it was amazing. We also loved the pretty flowers that were in hanging baskets all over the inn. Such a nice touch! Will definitely be staying here again. Very affordable and so cute! There’s also a little grocery store right next door, which is convenient.

We had a corner room in the building on the street behind the main property. There was a large patio with amazing views of the town and the ocean. Even though it was January, we still sat outside to watch the sunset. On a chillier evening, we lit the fireplace for a cozy winter evening. The location is terrific - walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping in the town of Carmel. Typical free breakfast, but good enough to get a start on the day. The room was clean and quiet. I do wish the chairs, both at the table outside and the table inside, had been more comfortable.

I love this place! Nicely maintained grounds, rooms clean and comfortable, with fireplace, coffee maker and a mini-fridge. Fantastic location. An easy walk to many shops and restaurants. Bruno's market next door has everything you need for a great stay or a picnic at the beach. Friendly staff. No, it's not 4-star luxury. It's old, has cramped parking and you can hear the neighbors walking upstairs, but that's typical of many Carmel Hotels I've stayed in. If you want a clean, charming, convenient place to stay, this is a great one to choose.

I had a very pleasant stay at the Pacific Inn while attending a wedding nearby. The location was convenient, just minutes from the venue, which made everything easy. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. My room was clean, comfortable, and quiet — perfect for relaxing after a long day of celebrations. The motel was well-kept and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I really appreciated the attention to cleanliness and the warm hospitality. I’d definitely recommend the Pacific Inn to anyone looking for a simple, clean, and friendly place to stay.

Great little hotel. I had to go to Monterey for my dog to have a procedure on her eye at the veterinary ophthalmologist there. I had previously stayed at another hotel that allowed dogs but didn't have any potty areas. I decided to switch hotels for the follow up visit. I saw this one was a little more dog friendly online with a fenced in potty area. I was very happy when I got there to discover that there are actually a couple of more at other locations around the hotel and closer to my room. It's a cute little hotel. The parking is a little tight but that is pretty much every hotel along the coast. My room was nice and good sized. Everything was very clean and in good condition. The in room amenities were good, including a Keurig coffee and complimentary makeup wipes. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The staff was friendly. This was a somewhat stressful trip for me so the little things really are helpful and very much appreciated. I'm going to come back when I can do it for fun.

Just stayed for one night and was pleasantly surprised by the value. Room was clean and comfortable. The parking lot is kinda small. It’s located on a busy corner, but still felt safe. Lots of eating options are nearby, from fast food to family restaurants. Occasionally heard airplanes overhead, but wasn’t bothered by them . Front desk clerk was friendly and gave good restaurant recommendations.

Very very clean hotel room. Everything was updated and modern. The room had freshly shampooed carpets which is awesome if you are a germaphobe like me 😂. The room smelled super clean and fresh. Excellent location to literally everything. Super cute little motel. Very quiet outside. We felt very safe here.

Friendly professional service. Nice, safe, quiet area. Felt comfortable. I loved the bathroom lighting, full length mirror, different option's to place your luggage . Frig with freezer, microwave, coffee maker. Nice firm bed. I will definitely go back.

Clean and very spacious. Big bathroom, separate sink from toilet and shower. Big shower with strong water pressure. The shower was also heated, so it's great to step out of the shower with some warm air. Booked a King Room with Fireplace. I didn't have to use the fireplace but it's a nice addition. Bed was comfortable but wish pillows were better. Plenty of lights, I was amazed. Some more expensive hotels don't have that many lights. Refrigerator, microwave and a keurig w/ coffee pods are great. Big TV with plenty of shows to watch. Great location and near downtown. Close to the mall and plenty of restaurants. Quiet all throughout my 5-night stay. Very safe location. Plenty of parking space and FREE! Free breakfast (pastries, fruits, and coffee) is appreciated, not all similar hotels offer anything for breakfast.

Spacious, beautiful room with high sloped ceiling made this space feel huge...because it was. More like a suite and extremely clean! Largest window I've ever seen in a hotel, with a view of the Bay in the distance (between buildings). Quiet at night, comfortable beds and tons of pillows. One suggestion: have more drawer space or a luggage rack or two. We used the massive ottoman. No elevator was no problem (2 floors). Staff so helpful and nice, had lots of great info for our stay. Nice simple breakfast in office. Would DEFINITELY stay here on our next visit to Monterey Bay area. FABULOUS!!

Room was very clean, comfortable and quiet. Staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was adequate, fruit, yogurt, coffee, juice, box cereal and package oatmeal. Walking distance to several shops and restaurants.

Stayed here three nights while attending a conference at Portola Plaza and it was perfect. Upper floor room with vaulted ceiling, comfortable bed, clean room. Room had keurig coffee maker and good coffee, a microwave, a refrigerator, etc. I did not find a safe in the room, which would’ve been nice but i kept a do not disturb on the door and nothing was ever disturbed. Staff was very nice also. Lovely stay.

Room was comfortable, clean and cozy. Quiet premises and first hotel where the Kerig makes excellent coffee. Ample parking and small community feel. Great restaurant onsite. Staff made check-in a breeze. We left valuables behind but Henna and Carlos stepped up to the plate to help us recover those. Thank you both so very much.

This is a super hotel. Very helpful staff who gave us tips on restaurants and activities. We arrived after a few hours driving as part of our California road trip - weather was super warm and so handy that the hotel has a swimming pool (medium / small in size) The walk to Fisherman's wharf is approximately 20 minutes - beach 10/15 minutes. Rooms are reasonable in size and the hotel is quite modern and very clean. Coffee available in reception. Plenty of parking is available on site. I would definitely return to this hotel again.

Real nice room very clean nicely decorated,wood flooring. Room had refrigerator and microwave. Bath had nice granite countertops,decent shower water pressure,modern lighting, plenty of towels , bed was nice and firm and level plenty of pillows, outside had a awesome seating area modern outdoor seating couches.tables eating areas. They let us do early check in which was really nice . Parking close to room . property clean well maintained .

Property is very nice, I like the closed off parking lot inside. We also liked the designated smoking area, relaxing friendly and clean. Rooms were clean and bathroom was clean as well. This is a very nice place to stay that is within walking distance of the beach and wharf.

It's a quiet, comfortable and little hotel. We kindly asked to have our rooms on the first floor and the guy at reception not even doubted on helping us. I really liked the fact that you can park in front of your room. You take around 5 mins by car to arrive to Fisherman's Wharf. They don't offer breakfast but they do offer water, tea and coffee at reception. Each room has a microwave and a refrigerator so you can store your food. The night we stayed we brought our food and had dinner at an outdoor table they have at the end of the hotel. The part I wasn't so happy about is our neighbors upstairs were moving stuff and walking since 4am, we could listen them and also running water (probably they were taking shower).

Quaint hotel. Spent the night in the Big Sur Room, 2 queens and a couch. It was very spacious. Very clean and comfy. It also felt very safe. The shower had wall mounted body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Lotion was wall mount d by the sink. Loved the thick towels that were provided. Unfortunately we did not get to use the pool or outside seating since we got in late. No elevator so if you have mobility issues request the lower level. FYI, beds are on the harder side and so are pillows, not a deal breaker. Definitely want to come back.

What a great stay! I really had been so happy with this stay! I have been traveling using various hotels for 15 year on now and this one is certainly at the top of my list of a great stays. The room was so expansive, so much room and everything was CLEAN! I am a professional house cleaner and it was at my standards. Everything was wiped down, spotless and in good condition! The other reviews mention needs for updates and I can only say that for the thermostat on the grounds I couldn't tell how to work it, but it wasn't even needed, it never got hotter than 68 F while we were staying there. The staff was wonderful, friendly and helpful. The parking was limited but simple. The whole time we were there we didn't hear much but I also believe not many other guests were there. The design and features of the room were so elegant and beautifully done. It was a great blend of upscale modern with a cottage charm. All the rooms have a balcony, wish they weren't connected, but it had chairs and table and it was so beautiful and peace there. The continental breakfast was lovely and they served it with real bowls, plates and cloth napkins which I have never experienced before. They even had actual keys for the rooms not a card which I found so charming. We only stayed one night so the price was perfect for us and I'm not sure if it would have been as affordable for more days with less of a last minute of a booking, but I would more than likely thinking of this property if we return

Property is beautiful! Being it was a street or 2 over from downtown, the area was pretty quiet, the grounds were very peaceful. Staff were all friendly & super attentive & helpful. Our room was newly renovated & super clean. Low pile carpet & vinyl wood flooring, high ceilings, fireplace, desk, new fixtures, small hall ceiling fan, doors to a shared back balcony w table & chairs faced the pretty cottage grounds. Parking is in the back under rooms, is tight for our truck but found a gd spot that worked just fine. Absolutely no complaints. We loved our weekend stay!

Ultra-convenient location in the center of downtown. Excellent for exploring Monterey on foot, and a jumping off point for short drives to Pacific Grove, Carmel, Point Lobos, and Big Sur. Staff was above & beyond friendly and helpful, especially when we accidentally left something behind at check out. Room had cute decor, was spacious & comfortable, with French doors opening on to a lovely garden where breakfast was served. Parking on-site was convenient, with great bakeries, restaurants, and even an electric charging station for our car within a few blocks walking distance.

My husband and I recently visited the Merrit House Hotel from April 11 to April 14, 2025, for a three-day stay. As frequent visitors to Monterey, having experienced at least ten different hotels in the area, we found the Merrit House Hotel to be particularly enjoyable. The room we stayed in was clean and beautifully maintained. The complimentary breakfast, while satisfactory, consisted of boiled eggs, cereal, oatmeal, small muffins, danishes, coffee, and tea. A notable advantage of the hotel is its proximity to Rosine’s Restaurant, which offers delicious food and is within walking distance. Overall, we can confidently say that the Merrit House Hotel is our favorite among the various places we've stayed in Monterey. However, there are a couple of drawbacks to note: the beds were quite firm, there are no elevators to access the upper floors, and the breakfast selection could be improved. Rooms: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5

The rooms are all decorated with a theme. Mine was a sort of Safari look. The other room had a "travel" theme. Sure, most of the decorations might have been purchased at Home Goods, but it was fun. The rooms were clean. The location is great. Parking was not an issue as some people have written (but the spaces are tight if you have a larger car). The breakfast area, as some have said, is small, but it does what it needs to do. It is not the Ritz or the Mandarin, but it is comfortable, convenient, clean and cost-friendly.

Carmel-by-the-Sea is now a must-visit destination for us, thanks to La Playa. It’s the perfect place to relax. The staff is genuinely warm and welcoming, and the rooms are equipped with what I’d call a real minibar—thoughtfully stocked and convenient. For a couple, the room size felt cozy and just right. We actually decided to go last minute, and we were so glad we did. We ended up staying in two different rooms because we extended our stay on the spot. Both rooms were on a higher floor with beautiful ocean views. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was incredibly peaceful—we absolutely loved it. The champagne breakfast buffet is a highlight and definitely recommended. The hotel is just two blocks from the beach and only a short walk from a variety of great restaurants. The entire atmosphere of the hotel is warm and inviting. Thanks to La Playa, our experience in Carmel was truly unforgettable!

The location is great as it's 1 minute walk to the beach.and 5 minutes walk to shops and restaurants around Ocean Avenue. The upper level of the property has partial view of the ocean. Some of the staff (younger staff) were very courteous, hospitable and friendly. Buffet breakfast was delightful and you get to enjoy partial view of the ocean, enhancing the dining experience. The happy hour, complimentary wine adds a nice touch. The property is kept clean with well maintained courtyard, garden and pool. Very relaxing to sit out in the courtyard. We'll come back again.

La Playa in Carmel is the perfect getaway! This quaint hotel is beautifully decorated and ideally located, with a lovely vibe that feels both timeless and modern. The grounds are stunning, and the breakfast buffet offers delicious, healthy options. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, La Playa exceeded all my expectations, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a peaceful and charming retreat in Carmel. I’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful property! Very clean and so incredibly charming. Would definitely come back! The views of the grounds are spectacular, and the included champagne breakfasts were the most amazing spreads along with the evening wine tastings or sangria. We chose this place because it is a very short walk to the beach and within walking distance to the shops and restaurants, but they do offer a complimentary ride service as it is a bit of a climb up to the downtown area. Carmel is so quiet and friendly and the staff were all so incredibly nice and helpful. Highly recommend!

La Playa hotel is a very special place. Throughout our stay the staff was exceptionally welcoming, attentive, and helpful. We loved this well appointed historical property, its beautiful grounds, and exceptional amenities. The pool is kept at the perfect temperature and is in a lovely setting. The champagne breakfast, afternoon drinks, and nightly freshly baked chocolate chip cookies offered by fire in the lobby are just a few of the inviting touches. To be sure we will return this cozy exceptional hotel.

Clean room, spacious bathroom, and fireplace was a nice & cozy added bonus. Complimentary wine and nice variety of breakfast. Pool & jacuzzi were great.

Excellent hôtel, the employees are wonderful and the hotel is very good. Swimming pool and jacuzzi good. Parking included

My friend and I were on a road trip up the coast and needed a mid-range hotel that had an onsite restaurant and proximity to area attractions. Upon arrival, the front desk staff were very friendly and check-in was efficient. Our room on the third floor was spacious, clean and had a fireplace and balcony. The breakfast buffet was fresh and tasty, offering items like breakfast burritos, scrambled eggs, French toast, cereal, bread, and fruit. Happy hour (two complimentary glasses of wine), and dinner are welcoming features after a day of exploring. It's a short walk to Fisherman's Wharf. We stayed at the hotel just one night and didn't use the pool, but the pool area was clean and had a Jacuzzi. We would stay here again. Plus, free parking!

My girlfriend and I spent quick weekend getaway at Hotel Abrego in Monterey, and it was everything we could have hoped for in a romantic getaway. From the moment we arrived, the friendly and welcoming staff made us feel right at home, ensuring our stay was seamless and enjoyable. The room was spacious, inviting, and beautifully designed, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. The cozy fireplace added a special touch, making it even more intimate and comfortable. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the overall ambiance made it easy to unwind after exploring Monterey and its surrounding areas. We also took advantage of the lobby bar, where we enjoyed a well-crafted drink in a relaxed and charming setting. It was the perfect way to end the evening before retreating to our cozy room. Overall, the service was top-notch, and every detail contributed to a memorable stay. If you’re looking for a romantic and relaxing getaway in Monterey, Hotel Abrego is definitely worth considering!

Hotel Abrego was the perfect location to celebrate our anniversary! The staff were friendly and efficient. Our room as clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the glass of wine in the evening was a wonderful way to relax before dinner. Our host was great and made us feel so welcome, we decided to stay at the hotel for dinner. The dinner menu is not large but had enough variety to satisfy everyone’s tastes. The food and dessert were delicious! I would definitely recommend the Hotel Abrego!

The staff is excellent. Friendly, helpful and professional. Breakfast selection and quality was outstanding. Location was perfect, close to the beach and downtown Monterey, Carmel and Pebble Beach. Quiet and well appointed room. Very clean. Location by airport was surprisingly quiet. Didn't hear a plane until after breakfast. Great stay! My wife and I highly recommend Comfort Inn Monterey Airport. Beautiful garden area. Thank you.

We had a very pleasant stay at the Comfort Inn Monterey Peninsula. The location near the airport was surprisingly quiet and surrounded by trees, giving it a peaceful, almost retreat-like feel. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with everything we needed for a short stay. The free breakfast was a nice bonus — simple but enough to start the day. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Parking was easy and convenient, and it was just a short drive to downtown Monterey and nearby attractions. Only reason for not giving a 10 is that the property is a little older, and the Wi-Fi could have been stronger. But overall, great value for the price. Would definitely stay again!

We were simply looking for a decent hotel near Monterey, CA for a one night stay, off season, for a romantic overnight getaway. This hotel turned out to be wonderful serendipity! First, the hotel was easy to find. Second, the delightful lady checking us in was most efficient, welcoming and had a great sense of humor too. Third, the room was easy to locate in the large complex with parking directly in front for security. Fourth, the hotel complex is located within a lovely forest and, although large, gives great peacefulness and privacy to each room. Fifth, instead of the ice and drink machines being remotely located in some unsafe, dark, out of the way location far from our room, fully operating machines were located within steps of each room throughout the complex. Sixth, the room was a surprise in several respects. The bed was unusually good and beautifully appointed with European bedding. The room was outstandingly clean and had a lovely balcony with two comfortable chairs. The glass door to the balcony was extra wide so you could leave it open and really bring the lovely fresh air from the outside into the room. The towels were extra thick and large. The was both a microwave and frig in the room and both were well above average quality and size. The TV channels included a channel guide and far more channels of programming than is usual in any hotels. Seventh, breakfast was provided in a lovely simple setting.

We had a great stay at this hotel. Everything was very clean and recently renovated, which made it feel fresh and modern. The room was spacious, the bed was super comfortable, and we really enjoyed the breakfast each morning—it was delicious. Would definitely stay here again!

Booked last minute overnight get away here for myself. Was pleasantly surprised how nice this property was! All rooms have doors with outside access (like a motel), but don't let that fool you! Very spacious room (I got a queen accessible room on the 1st floor), well appointed, updated and very clean. Room overlooked a courtyard and had a balcony. Very quiet location well away from highway. Very easy to get to restaurants and shopping near by in Sand City/Marina, CA (6 min drive). Friendly hotel staff as well, plenty of easy parking. Excellent choices at breakfast - just get there early to avoid crowds in the limited seating area :-). Putting this on my list as a new "go to" hotel in the Monterey area - really a gem at the price!

The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, iron, hair dryer. It was so spacious. I traveled with my Husband and baby and We had everything we needed to be comfortable with a 3 month old. We felt safe and it’s in a perfect location 11min from the aquarium, fisherman’s wharf , restaurants, grocery stores etc.

An excellent modern motel that set the standard for us! It was great, very clean, modern, spacious and luxurious! Parking directly outside your room which was immaculately clean with a massive comfy bed and everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Very highly recommended! We would stay again!

The property was exceptionally good, well manicured grounds, clean and well maintained. The room itself was VERY CLEAN with several accommodative features (ie. Iron, coffee maker etc) The bed AND pillows were Super Comfortable!! The room’s scent was that of a freshness comfortably! The evening manager (Naomi) met us with a warm and inviting smile. Thus making an immediate impression of feeling safe and welcoming . Naomi was very informative about her property (ie. TV remote, Wi-Fi/PW & office lounge area accommodations) ending w/reassuring us to her being readily accessible Should any issues arise. Should we return to the area, we will DEFINITELY be booking our stay HERE !!! I rate our stay a 10 !!!!

We stayed here as a stopover from LA to San Francisco. The room was smaller but very clean and fresh. Staff at check in and check out were friendly and efficient. Good location to the aquarium, wharf, and food. Probably not walkable but we drove. The only drawback was the hotel was close to the airport and there was plane noise, but the airport isn’t busy and overall wasn’t an issue. Did not use the pool but the area was clean and inviting. Felt safe during our stay. Would recommend.

This is the cleanest, best maintained motel I have stayed in. By far! The location is convenient and easy access. Lots of restaurants close by and easy access to the 101. Comfy beds, nice towels and a really good shower. Great value on an outstanding facility. We will be back!!

We stayed at El Castell Motel in Monterey, CA for our daughter’s graduation and had a great experience! As a large family of five—including three very tall teenage boys—finding comfortable accommodations can be a challenge, but this motel was perfect for us. Our room with three queen beds was spacious and practical, complete with a microwave and refrigerator, which came in handy. There were plenty of towels, the bathroom was spotless, and the iron and ironing board were well-used during our stay. This motel wasn’t a destination in itself, but it offered an economical and convenient stay that worked well for our big family. The front office staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in and any questions we had a breeze. The boys enjoyed playing in the heated pool, and we appreciated the lounge chairs next to the pool where we could relax in the sun. Plus, there were vending machines nearby for quick snacks. The location was very convenient, with gas stations and restaurants close by. We grabbed breakfast from Denny’s, and the lobby also offered specialty coffee drinks, which was a nice touch. Overall, this was a comfortable, budget-friendly option for families needing space and practicality. We would definitely stay here again!

Very clean and nicely renovated with spotless paint, nice counters, bright and fresh white linens. I've stayed in a lot of dated motels in the Monterey area, so the renovated/modern feel was a nice surprise - made it feel more upscale. I didn't notice any smells at all, which is great - sometimes there can be a cleaner or paint smell even when clean. Appliances worked well. Staff was really friendly! Beds and pillows were reasonably comfortable. Minor: Coffee in the room was decent.

We need a place to stay where we could have our own beds and El Castell had what we're were looking for to address that need.. upon arrival, the reception employee was nice & friendly. The room was clean upon arriving with theba/c already going. The amenities were there (TV, microwave, refrigerator, etc.). The room was spacious, not feeling cramped at all. The bathroom was fully stocked with towels as well as bath soaps and lotions from dispensers. Our stay was great and for the most part it was a quiet location. Parking was plenty if we could not be parked next to the room, but found no issue. There is a covered pool on the premises which we did jotbhetbtonuse, but looked relaxing. The location was fine.it was several minutes to downtown or access to the main highways. There are some restaurants nearby if you wanted to stay close to the place. Overall, the motel in my opinion perfect for a family who needs comfort and space so they can focus their time on their trip.

The property was beautiful, modern and very well maintained. Everything appeared freshly uodated amd the lobby was adorable with a little sitting area and a photo wall that my kids loved! The main reason we chose this location was for the indoor heated pool because we love to swim year round and this one was perfect. It was open late too so we got to go for a swim after dinner! The room itself was sparkling clean and the floors shone so much I could literally see my reflection in them! Beds were super comfy and bedding was extremely soft. We were only up for the night to go to the aquarium the next day, but it was exactly what we needed and will definitely be back to stay again!

El Castell Motel has everything you are looking for. It is SUPER clean. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The linens, towels, and pillows are high quality. There is a pleasant indoor, heated pool. A few good restaurants are in walking distance. All the area attractions are a short drive away. It is located in a quiet area although you will hear an occasional plane at the nearby airport. I heard none between 10 pm and 8 am. Friendly, attentive staff easily available when needed. I would definitely stay here again.

A mix up on our room at arrival but Liz took care of us beautifully and upgraded us to a wonderful second floor room with fireplace, jacuzzi tub and lovely patio. I was celebrating my 80th birthday and our stay was perfect.

Wonderful stay in Pacific Heights along the charming main road and a short walk to the water's edge. They gave us a lovely upgrade to a room with a fireplace. Excellent jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Very friendly, warm service.

My stay at Gosby House Inn in Pacific Grove was nothing short of magical. This charming Victorian bed and breakfast, part of the Four Sisters Inns, offers the perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and coastal charm. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine hospitality. The staff made us feel right at home and were happy to offer local recommendations. The house itself is beautifully maintained, with elegant period details and inviting common areas that add so much character. Our room was spacious and thoughtfully decorated, featuring a comfy bed, a fireplace, and a clawfoot tub that made evenings feel extra special. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the nearby Monterey Bay Aquarium and scenic 17-Mile Drive. One of the highlights was the delicious breakfast served each morning — fresh fruit, homemade pastries, and a warm entrée, all enjoyed in a bright and cheerful dining room. In the afternoon, the wine and hors d’oeuvres made for a lovely touch, encouraging guests to slow down and relax. The location is ideal — just a short stroll from the beach, charming downtown Pacific Grove, and minutes from Carmel and Big Sur. Gosby House Inn is truly a hidden gem for those seeking a peaceful, romantic retreat with personal touches you won't find in larger hotels. I can’t wait to come back!

Everything about this inn is excellent! The staff is friendly and professional. The facility is modern, clean and well maintained. The bed, bedding and pillows are luxurious. The breakfast quiche was tasty, fruit was sweet and the coffee robust. Perfect location in Pacific Grove, but amazingly quiet. I highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful two-night stay at the Gosby House Inn and left feeling refreshed and cared for. The historic Victorian charm of the building is immediately inviting, and while the architecture and décor reflect the inn’s rich history, inside did not feel outdated or worn. It’s a great balance of old-world character and modern comfort. From the moment we arrived, Vera at check-in made us feel truly welcome. She was warm, kind, and helpful—a perfect introduction to what turned out to be a consistently friendly and attentive staff. Everyone we encountered during our stay seemed genuinely happy to be there and happy to help. We stayed in Room 15, the Jewel Room. Before booking, we saw some reviews mentioning potential noise due to its proximity to the kitchen, so we were prepared for that possibility. However, we found the noise level to be completely minimal—just a little normal kitchen sound during breakfast hours, which was in no way disruptive. It didn’t detract from our experience at all. Breakfast each morning was a highlight. The menu was varied and everything we tried was delicious. It was a pleasant way to start the day. They even make eggs to order if you ask. Parking was easy and hassle-free, which we really appreciated. The neighborhood seemed very safe and walkable too. We loved how easy it was to walk to the coastal path.

I enjoyed my 3 day stay at this motel. Initially I was put in a ground floor room with a view of the back of the check-in building. I'm a female solo traveler and I knew I would feel safer in a second-level room. I requested a room change and they granted it for my remaining 2 nights. I'm glad I asked for that - being on the second floor gives you a much nicer view of the surrounding trees. The motel backs up to a residential neighborhood and it was very quiet. Occasionally you could hear vehicular traffic on the main road right beside the motel but it wasn't bothersome. The room had everything I needed and I thought they did a really nice job with renovating the bathroom. The location is perfect - so easy to jump on the highway or take surface streets to wherever you are going. If you're wanting the oceanview experience of being in Monterey, I say save your bucks and stay here. Have a nice dinner at the Monterey Beach Hotel restaurant and enjoy the view without paying their high sleeping room rates. Or go to any of the other beach front restaurants. I really appreciated keeping that money in my pocket.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our stay at the Super 8 Motel in Monterey was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff, particularly Mike, went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. The rooms were impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and cozy retreat after a day of exploring Monterey's beautiful surroundings. The attention to detail in the room's decor and amenities truly exceeded our expectations, making us feel right at home. What truly set this Super 8 Motel apart was the exceptional customer service we received, especially from Mike. His willingness to go the extra mile became evident when we realized we had left our laptop behind. Mike stepped in promptly, assisting us in arranging for its safe return via UPS. His efficiency and genuine concern for our belongings left a lasting impression and elevated our overall satisfaction. The convenience of the motel's location, coupled with the outstanding service we received, makes it an easy decision for us to return on our next visit to Monterey. We can confidently recommend the Super 8 Motel to fellow travelers seeking a delightful and stress-free stay. Thank you to Mike and the entire team for making our trip so enjoyable. We look forward to returning soon!

Mike and the staff do an excellent job maintaining the property and providing great customer service. We chose Aura Inn because of its location that made it easy to drive to our vacation destinations, Whole Foods and other convenience stores nearby, and because of high reviews I read on Expedia. We happily echo the Expedia reviews and are impressed with how clean and spacious our room was and how easy parking was. We appreciate that parking was included, at no extra charge, and how even late at night, there were parking spaces available, with an easy walk to our room. Our beds were very comfortable and the rooms are indeed sound proof, as described in the property details, making our sleep comfortable and peaceful. Check-in and check-out are easy. We hope to stay in Aura Inn again during a return trip to Carmel and Monterey!

I had an excellent stay at Super8 at Monterey! Checking in was fast and easy, and the location was great! There’s a mall opposite, with Starbucks for Coffee. This mall closes at 5pm tho. The rooms are heated warm, and I stayed in a room with a shower and tub combi. There is also a fridge and microwave in the room. The rooms have recently been renovated and it’s clean and neat! I liked the toilet as well, as it’s bright and modern looking. I will definitely come back again in future!

the best hotel / motel I have every stayed in. The room was amazing. It even had windows that opened to allow fresh air in. The room was very spacious. The bathroom was very large. The beds were comfortable. The main room was very spacious. The room even had a refrigerator and a microwave

Proximity to town, fireplace in the room, jacuzzi tub.

We had a comfortable stay at Briarwood Inn. Upstairs unit that included a parking spot. I recommend getting the parking spot as street parking is limited as Carmel is so popular. Check in was friendly and easy. Room was very clean and comfy bed. Coffee pot w coffee packet was nice for morning. Mini fridge was perfect. We ate at nearby Brophy’s Tavern for a great lunch then went over later before 10 pm for a nightcap. Area very walkable. Supper was at Portabella and was great. We stayed one night but next time we will stay longer. Perfect location.!

Super comfy king bed, gorgeous location but we didn't have time to walk around. Having a car park was wonderful. The host at reception was very friendly & welcoming thank you. We loved the quaint architecture and vibe of the street. Pub on corner was well appreciated for dinner as we arrived late. Felt safe in this location and hotel. Quiet and peaceful stay. Very good amenities in room. Wifi included. We drove to Big Sur the next day & saw the seals at Monterey on way back so we didn;t get time to visit Carmel beach unfortunately. But the 17 mile drive in Carmel South area was magnificent. We would love to stay longer next time.

The Briarwood Inn was a comfortable, charming place to stay while in Carmel. We stayed in 'Stephenson 4' and found it was totally comfy for 3 people. The kitchen was small but totally usable for basic cooking. The beds were very comfy. The living room space was great, with lots of natural light. I loved the little outdoor patio. The bathroom was clean with a hot shower. I loved how close we were to the beach, the town, and a convenience store. The staff were all helpful and the cleaning staff were especially thorough.

I recently stayed at this property and had a pleasant experience overall. The space was clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. One downside, however, was the limited parking space, which could be a bit tricky if you're visiting during peak hours. On the plus side, the location is fantastic — it’s conveniently close to shops and food options. The area is also very quiet, which is perfect for a relaxing stay. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-located spot with great service!

Wow!! I absolutely LOVED my stay! I will DEFINITELY be staying here again if I come back to Carmel! First, the staff was super nice and helpful when I was checking in. They gave me a great map of the town, with icons letting me know which stores/restaurants were dog friendly. (Carmel is extremely dog friendly - which was absolutely amazing). My room was ADORABLE! (It was a pink themed room which was so girly and perfect). It was SO SPACIOUS, exceptionally clean, and so cute. I had an ocean-facing room, and I would spend every morning on the patio drinking coffee while looking at the ocean. It was incredible. The bed was also super comfy, and I slept so well the entire time. The location is amazing. It took me only 5 minutes to walk to the main street downtown, and only 15 minutes to walk to the beach. I truly didn't use my car the entire trip because everything was so walkable from the inn. Even though it was so close to the downtown area, it was still so quiet and peaceful. Also, the pastries that they served every morning were so good. It was my favorite way to start the day. Honestly, this stay felt so homey, relaxing, and incredible. Definitely one of the best inn's I've ever stayed at. HIGHLY recommend.

This hotel is in a great location - short walk to the main streets of Carmel, good views out and quiet. When we arrived, it was easy to park on the premises. The check in process was straightforward- the staff are welcoming and professional. We were visiting for a wedding nearby so we didn’t spend a lot of time on site. However, there is a pool and a few outdoor areas that would have been good to use. The breakfast each morning is perfect and simple - coffees to go, muffins/pastries, yoghurt. The bed was comfortable, the room was large and well organised with a good bathroom. It’s a dog friendly hotel - we paid an additional fee (we expected to and it was reasonable). We recommend this hotel and look forward to staying again!

Hofhas is wonderfully located famiily inn It has excellent staff and is located at the top of the historic, walkable art village of Carmel-by-the Sea with intereresting archtecture, shops, ad restaurants within steps. Our room had a balconey that faces the sunset over the ocean, and we could hear the muffled sound of the surf throughout the night. Hofhas is very clean, has classic furniture that fits with the setting and distinctive history of the Inn, and is very comfortable. Met the grandaughter of the original innkeeper. Carmel Beach and Carmel River State Beach are memorable.

The location was great it was a short walk to the shops and restaurants of Carmel, and also a quick walk to the beach. The room was also nicer than I expected. The bedding was soft and clean and the bathroom/shower was nice, clean, and updated. A couple more nice things were that I had a pastry from the continental breakfast that tasted great and the WiFi worked well. Furthermore, they checked us in early, our scheduled check in was three p.m., but I’d say they checked us in about an hour early.

Location was on the hill of Carmel, but still walking distance to the beach. Food was a simple continental breakfast, but coffee or tea was good. No bathtub in my room, but the shower was fine if older. The place had charm and loved the dutch doors to see the view and get fresh air.

This was my seconds time in this hotel. It's nice and clean hotel,with the pool, jacuzzi and restorants and nice café ' s next to it. Love this place!

The amount of space in the room the proximity to the pool and jacuzzi parking lot front desk. The style, the restaurant. The closeness of shopping and eating.

Well designed. Staff were extremely accommodating. Pool and jacuzzi were great.

We spent 3 fabulous days at Carmel Mission Inn for a Girlfriend Getaway . Check In was prompt and staff very welcoming. We arrived after the Car Show and had the pool&jacuzzi all to ourselves after dinner. Location is a ideal if you're visiting Monterey/Carmel . Rooms are clean and beds & pillows were comfortable . Housekeeping staff were very accomodating..giving us extra towels because they ran out of pool towels. We will definitely be back next summer !

Nice accommodation in the owner yard, separated from the main house. Very private. Room has AC and a large TV. Bathroom is very nice and very modern. Access to jacuzzi close to the main house. Parking right up front of the room.

We have stayed at the Bide-A-Wee several times since it is a pleasant and conveniently located near the sights that we like to visit. This time we got the cottage with two rooms and kitchenette. The rooms are very clean . The bathroom is clean with tub and shower. The kitchenette has a small refrigerator with freezer compartment. There is a small stove with four little burners and oven. There is also a microwave. The little coffee maker did not work very well. We were able to cook a simple meal on the stove. We brought a big pot to boil pasta. They provide small pots and pans. There were plates and bowls and some cups. Our concerns were that it took a wild to get hot water, the WiFi was slow, The plumbing is quite loud since I was awakened at about midnight by someone taking a shower. We had our own tea kettle and drip coffee maker, so our mornings were fine. Their breakfast is bare bones with coffee, rolls, etc., so be prepared. The place is good value, clean, and conveniently located. We will likely be back.

We loved staying here, the best part was being able to walk to Asilomar beach. There’s a great path going north and south along the beautiful coast!! We took our bikes and it was very easy to get to 17 mile drive. The cottage was just as pictured, perfect for what we needed. The bed was comfy, the shower water pressure was great and loved having a kitchen. A very safe peaceful place. The continental breakfast was all we needed and a plus.

1 bedroom King Cottage was larger than what appeared in website photos. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. Had a view of the ocean across the street. Was visited by black tailed deer strolling the neighborhood. Bed was comfortable. The space was perfect for a quiet couple or solo traveler. I brought my dog and it was perfect for us. Cottage, grounds and area were charming. Loved loved loved my stay!

Liked the kitchenette one room cottage Perfect for two, and for bringing your own food. Convenient motel-like parking. Very quiet. Had to move mid stay to smaller room. The studio cottage was very tight but also very clean and comfortable.

We were given a free upgrade to a bigger suite with a jacuzzi bath which was lovely. Very comfortable bed with great facilities, free parking.

Amazing hotel Upgraded to a king suite Large comfortable bed, kitchenette area to make tea, and coffee. Had a fridge and microwave. Seating area to watch TV on large flat screen Massive bathroom with a walk-in shower AND jacuzzi bath. Such a treat after a long day of sight seeing. Walking distance to Carmel, close to highways. Had the most wonderful stay.

My wife and I stayed here 3 times, the last time was December 2022 we've only stayed in the cottage, which is a large studio cottage with a jet Jacuzzi tub Every time we have come the receptionists have been excellent and accommodating, very easy to talk to they no longer serve breakfast in the morning but it is still worth staying at, it's close to downtown Carmel And close to highway one There is no fast food in the city you have to go to Monterey to get fast food Which is only 5 to 10 minutes away, everything here is mommy pop, very small town vibe love this city

The Vendange was a perfect choice for our stay in Carmel. Although it wasn’t walkable to downtown the location was convenient to highway one and it was an easy drive into the shopping area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and we had a nice balcony overlooking a pretty courtyard. Would definitely recommend

We stayed here for one night on our way to Newport Beach. We had a balcony room towards the rear of the property and it was very quiet. The place has been recently renovated and it appears they are still in the process. Our bathroom was either missing a light on the wall or they forgot to paint where the old one was . Our room had a few bumps in the carpet which felt like either nails were popping up or the subfloor wasn’t level. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom shower was spacious. Overall it was a good stay.

The hotel was in an area around 30 mins walk to the central downtown area, where there were plenty of bars/restaurants. It was also a short drive to Carmel by the Sea and 17 Mile Drive. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and spacious (I was upgraded from a standard room to a King room!) and the parking was plentiful with easy access to the room. The room was, clean and comfortable with fridge and TV and hot drinks making facility. The staff were very friendly, polite and very helpful.

The whole place is beautiful when you pull in, just that already made me excited to see our room. My husband and I stayed with our toddler in a king room with a fireplace. It was so much bigger than I was expecting and it was clean. I absolutely loved that they had the windows slightly open before our arrival so it smelled as good as outside and it didn't feel like a musty hotel room. I always check the bathrooms for hair or anything wierd and I check the bed before we even bring our things in to be safe....it definitely passed the test. I am a clean freak and I spend time cleaning the room up to my standards in most places but I didn't have to at Arbor Inn. Considering we came to stay for a quick weekend trip it was so nice to just be able to settle in. Everything in our suite worked. The bed was a bed.... nothing fancy but definitely not bad. It was one of the more comfortable and quiet beds we've slept in on any trip. The area was quiet and very comfy, I would love to live in that area because it was so peaceful and beautiful. The staff was amazing and was like the cherry on top of our stay!

Very helpful, friendly and polite staff. They made a great recommendation for supper within walking distance (A Chinese restaurant with Chinese people eating in it - always a good sign) Comfy and clean room. Charmingly old fashioned look to the outside but the interior is modern and comfortable. Location easy to find. It's not walking distance to shore - which would have been nice. I could have worked that out when booking I guess (but I booked it from UK without ever being in Monterey before). I expect bay-side hotels are much more expensive. We were just passing through - this place is ideal for that. Drove to the waterside in the morning which is worth doing and although it was quiet (November) we could sit outside and have coffee looking at the ocean.

Quite. Clean& Safe area. Center of Monterey... Clean room. Friendly staff. Shopping mall and restaurants All walkable.. Great spot for staying. Will back Sometimes"

Friendly staff. The room was spacious and clean. Comfortable bed. There's a little fridge and coffee machine with coffee provided. Good location. Recommended!

We switched to a ground floor room that had amazing views. The room was large and patio was very relaxing. Didn’t use the jacuzzi, but loved the fireplace.

Fantastic breakfast basket included. Great jacuzzi in courtyard. Conveniently located in Carmel-by-the-Sea. Can walk to beach, park, restaurants. Proximity to the Hugh Comstock storybook houses from the 1920's.

Continental breakfast which came in a beautiful basket each morning was very well done. Convenient parking, especially for the area! Ice machine was very close by, right beside the little jacuzzi area. Staff were all very lovely, and the maps in the office were a great idea.

Fireplace and jacuzzi Many space in the toilet area Simple breakfast served to room and changed daily

Away from the hustle and bustle of Carmel’s main streets, staff was accommodating, there’s a jacuzzi on site, wine & cheese hour from 4-6pm, idyllic rooms, breakfast baskets every morning.

The breakfast was great - a very nice selection. The location was perfect- close to where we wanted to go but far enough away to not be in all the hustle and bustle. The jacuzzi was excellent- the best jets ever!

I loved the overall vibe and cleanliness of the property. The fireplace in the room was awesome and the jacuzzi was perfect.

Free breakfast, ample parking, with jacuzzi and heated pool.

L8vely grounds, room, staff. Enjoyed the fireplace. Pool and hottub looked wonderful but did not have a chance to use. Next time! Easy parking, close to wondrous downtown Pac8fic Grove and coastal trails.

The continental breakfast bar was nice. It had hard boiled eggs, breakfast sandwiches, bread, bagels, pastries, fruit, yogurt, pancakes, cereal, juices, and coffee.The server was friendly and kept the area and tables clean. The maids did a great job of cleaning. Our suite (room 109) was spacious. The front desk people were very courteous and efficient. The pool and hot tub were very clean.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Wifi was very good. We have a pleasant stay De Anza. Made our stay a wonderful time in Monterey. Thank you!

This was our second time staying at De Anza Inn. We came back because of the amenities, the included breakfast and the staff. We noticed some upgrades this time, towels for the pool and hot tub. Also the bathroom toiletries were great addition! The staff as always was very accommodating, helpful and caring. I had a health emergency and Rachel was extremely helpful, caring and kind. My son used the vending machine which didn't give him his snack or his money back. The front desk gave him his money back and included a bag of M&M's. We always enjoy the breakfast that is fresh and tasty. I like the added yogurt machine. This is the only place we will stay on our visits to Monterey.

We had a fantastic stay here in Monterey! The hotel was exceptionally clean, which made for a very comfortable experience. One of the highlights was the great breakfast—plenty of options, fresh, and a perfect way to start the day. The location was also a big plus. It was close enough to the freeway for easy access but still near all the fun attractions Monterey has to offer. Whether it was the aquarium, Cannery Row, or the scenic coastline, everything was just a short drive away. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Monterey! Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

The hospitality was a key factor in our having a pleasant stay. Breakfast was ample enough with boiled eggs, and standard breakfast food -- delicious coffee, oatmeal, toast, bagels, fruit, juice, etc. The dining area was comfortable and cozy with a fireplace. Front desk clerks were friendly and courteous. Check-out was at 12 noon -- late enough so that people could choose to have a relaxing morning and not have to rush to pack up right after breakfast. Cookies and tea/coffee were provided in the lobby in the evening with cucumber-enhanced cool water available at all times. The layout of the rooms was different -- not your standard motel, and the rooms were quiet enough.

We had a double Queen room with a fireplace. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean, quiet and spacious. The simple continental breakfast was greatly appreciated as it was convenient to not have to leave the Inn to have breakfast, allowing us to go back to the room to wash up before heading out. It was walking distance to the main strip where the restaurants were. Overall a very comfortable stay, convenient to all the local attractions. There were ample parking.

Friendly front desk staff. I had no issues checking in. Parking lot felt safe for my vehicle overnight. Quiet property walkable to downtown. Pleasant variety of breakfast foods available in the morning. Room was comfortable. Microwave, coffee maker and small fridge in the room were convenient touches. Bed was comfy and temperature was good even without air conditioning. Room heater is available for cooler evenings. I recommend this place to stay in Monterey.

Stayed for 2 nights on the way from Solvang to Calistoga. A nice inn, walking distance to shops, restaurants, Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf and Aquarium. Excellent recommendation from Reception for restaurant for dinner - Sandbar Grill - so good we went there both nights. Nice, clean room, good bathroom. First in room coffee free, then $1 each thereafter. May bother some, but not us. Morning coffee in lobby anyway. Free, simple breakfast. Toast your own bread, waffles. Boiled eggs, cereal, yogurt, mini doughnuts. Would stay here again if in Monterey.

The room was clean and comfortable. Good lighting and an arm chair for sitting. Breakfast was pretty minimal, but adequate. Free, on site parking was a positive. It would have been a longer walk than I want to do to walk to restaurants or bars. Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe to take a stroll.

Free breakfast was good. Nice variety of things to choose from. Parking under hotel. Felt safe walking around all hours. Would stay here again

Fantastic location in Monterey's cannery/fisherman's wharf area. Car park is underground so you feel reassured your vehicle is safe - staff told us we could leave our car there all day which meant we were able to enjoy Monterey in the day without the need to find parking. Dealt with several people at front desk who were all super helpful (providing alternatives in the area as we couldn't stay a second night). Rooms were spacious, located over multiple floors facing into a courtyard with seating for outdoors. Ability to make tea/coffee for the road is a boon in the morning. Breakfast, albeit sparser than some, had defined areas for everything. Well maintained/kept clean by staff who brought out regular fresh hot foods. It's got a pancake machine, what more do you need. Would recommend as a place and would visit again. 10/10

I loved how close it was to everything we had planned to visit. Walking distance to restaurants, the aquarium and the beach. Very cozy and not overwhelming with lots of guests. The hotel was really clean. The breakfast was amazing we appreciated the breakfast so much and the kinda staff we won’t forget them either.

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with great amenities like coffee and good bathroom supplies. Location was perfect for walking to aquarium and restaurants and breakfast selection was excellent.

Easy to get to, ample parking easy walking distance to beaches, Dining and entertainment. The staff was friendly and helpful in every way. The rooms were clean and comfortable actual sized bottles of shampoo body wash and hand soap no mini bottles or mini bar soap. They provide a great free breakfast available in the mornings not your usual continental breakfast. And very reasonably priced for the area

We almost always stay there when we come to the Peninsula. Everyone there is friendly and helpful and we really have fun in the pool and jacuzzi.

Very convenient location, close to downtown Monterey, easy parking, nice indoor pool and jacuzzi. No breakfast, but many restaurant choices close by. Easy access to highway 1. Have stayed here 3 times. Very affordable.

Great place! Very clean, pool was great and we loved the jacuzzi. Friendly staff and everything was new and felt very homey.

Had a King Room. Bed was very comfortable. It was very quiet. Only noise heard was from the cars when I opened the window. Super clean. Heat worked well. Very friendly. Breakfast was very good. Eggs, sausage, juice, coffee, danish, bagel, toast, yogurt, fruit. Coffee and fresh cold water available all day, as well as there is a coffee pot in the room (which we didn't use). Forgot a hair brush and was given a comb. Great location on Ocean Avenue. Walk to all shops, restaurants and there is a deli/market around the corner. Beach is about 1/2 mile or so away. Very nice walk. It is uphill coming back. Pt. Lobos is about 3 miles away. Not alot of parking on site, but plenty on the street. Would definitely stay here again.

We have stayed here twice, and the first time was perfect!! Lovely courtyard view out the dutch door, and a really nice updated room. Second (most recent) time, we got put in a hallway corner room next to the storage closet, with only a view of the neighboring hotel’s backside, which wasn’t great. No view of the courtyard either, and the room did not have the nice built in closets or as new updates as the first room we had. The room was overall clean and comfortable however there were quite a few scuffs and chips in the bathroom infrastructure, which looked quite worn and less updated than the first room we stayed in. The parking situation also gets quite packed and if you don’t snag a spot early, there isn’t much you can do. Other than that, this is a quiet and convenient location for walking around carmel and seeing all there is to offer. Very close to green space, shops and restaurants at carmel plaza, and a grocery store. Also has a good basic continental breakfast. A great value for the price all-around so long as you don’t get put in one of the hallway rooms.

I booked this place to be close to downtown. It was walkable to everywhere! We had a queen room with a partial ocean view. The view was awful and not worth it so don't waste your money on any view. The room was good size but average looking and nothing overly unique about it, but I knew this before I booked it. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the room overall was clean! There was only a portable AC unit in the room, however we kept the window open at night to let the cool sea air in. The staff at the desk were super nice and helpful. Breakfast was included and though small, it was adequate for us! Breakfast consisted of various coffees (which I loved), cereal, eggs, sausage, waffles, bagels, toast, yogurt, juices. The courtyard and landscape were pleasant. It's a bit pricey for a comfort inn, however, absolutely everything in Carmel is expensive!

The rooms are very clean, modern and spacious with lovely comfy beds and lots of clean towels. The breakfast was ok and served in a small room with the check in desk. There are no elevators so be prepared to carry everything upstairs if you have an upstairs room. Location is excellent and there is parking on site. Coffee machine and fridge was good.

Had a pleasant 1 night stay here in January. We were able to park the car easily. The room was fine - very basic but cute from the outside. We needed to wear earplugs at night as it was very loud, especially when other rooms were using their showers. The room was spacious and clean. The location was good for the price. It’s on the edge of the walkable shopping / tourist district. We walked to the sea and back easily. We visited mid-week in January and found it a bit difficult to get a late dinner in the area. Maybe book somewhere for dinner. When checking out the hotel really went above and beyond for us. Instead of holding our luggage for a couple of hours, they let us keep the room for a few extra hours. They knew we had a long drive and said we could store our luggage and also freshen up before the drive. This was exceptionally helpful and kind. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming 3-story hotel in Monterey! The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to downtown and Fisherman’s Wharf, with plenty of restaurants, bars, and even a gas station nearby for convenience. Our room was both spacious and cozy, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully equipped with a fridge, coffee maker, air conditioning, and a very comfortable bed. We especially appreciated the quiet—despite being near the road, we never heard any traffic noise (perhaps thanks to being on the third floor..?). The staff were lovely—warm, helpful, and full of great local tips. Parking was easy, with options both outside and in the underground garage. Free coffee by the reception was a nice touch in the mornings. We truly enjoyed our stay and only wish we had booked a few more nights. Highly recommended!

The steveson hotel was small than i thought but it was spot on for my basic needs. Driving Proximity to the wharf and Monterey Bay Aquarium only 5-8 minutes. Room and beds were clean and suprisingly comfortable than expected. Slepted 4ppl. Bathroom was basic, walk in nice hot shower, extra towels. Coffee maker, small ref, heating/ air all worked but fyi must use controls on the wall not unit. Had free coffee in the lobby, an elevator (3 storys) and additional under ground parking. Had decent pool but was to cold to swim. Next door on corner is a cheveron/mart and across the street was a Dennys. 10-12minute Walkable distant to the beach/ wharf,a park with a lake (park was nice very kid friendly and multi purpose)and places to eat. One of the only things, i thought and wished it had was a free continental breakfast. Must have been on the website before. And the upper parking was tight hence below parking and front desk said street parking can park till 11am, also at night seemed safe, well lit and fairly quiet late night and earlier morning for being on a corner lot, and a holiday weekend. Better pricing considering last minute booking and proximity. The front desk was cordial and informative. Overall, was a good stay and i would book again.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming 3-story hotel in Monterey! The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to downtown and Fisherman’s Wharf, with plenty of restaurants, bars, and even a gas station nearby for convenience. Our room was both spacious and cozy, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully equipped with a fridge, coffee maker, air conditioning, and a very comfortable bed. We especially appreciated the quiet—despite being near the road, we never heard any traffic noise (perhaps thanks to being on the third floor..?). The staff were lovely—warm, helpful, and full of great local tips. Parking was easy, with options both outside and in the underground garage. Free coffee by the reception was a nice touch in the mornings. We truly enjoyed our stay and only wish we had booked a few more nights. Highly recommended!

We were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable and clean the place was. It is old but they have kept it in good shape. The location was perfect, writhin walking distance of restaurants and stores, the wharf and beach and Aquarium. Underground parking was helpful and free coffee and cold filtered water at all hours. All staff were very friendly and the price was so much lower than the fancy hotels close to the beach. The pool looked warm and clean and we would have used it if we had more time.

We were looking for a simple, clean, resosonbly priced place to stay. The Stevenson was perfect for us. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! Thank you💕 +walking distance to most everything (we walked to fishermans warf and cannery row each day) + clean and modern + small but nice bathroom + comfortable bed and pillows +underground parking and elevator that goes to underground parking + friendly customer service + nice clean pool and deck + we felt safe but there was a gas station located next to property that some may worry about - only negative is we would have preferred a king size bed and that the room was a little bigger but it's very common for Monterey/Carmel area

Great location within walking distance to shops restaurants and fisherman's wharf. Very clean and quiet neighborhood, the staff is very nice and helpful, they offer coffee in the room but the quality questionable for good coffee do not use the packets provided in the room and go to the office you will be surprised they have a good coffee machine with fresh coffee beans. Only con there is no Air Conditioning (no AC unit no fans)

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. The location was perfect—close to shops, restaurants, and public transport. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

I really enjoyed my stay at Villa Franca, the rooms were clean, tidy and fresh. My room had a homey feeling with fresh looking, relaxing paint and cute white window shudders. In the morning the light was creeping through the blinds and the room really felt like home. The beds were super comfy and the mini-split heating and cooling was quiet and effective. I had a great nights sleep. It was my favorite room of all the hotels I had stayed in on this trip. Oh, and the location is great, about 2-3 blocks from an amazing deep dish pizza place as well as a superb breakfast spot.

We decided very last minute to spend the night in Monterey. The room was easy to book, parking included. Upon arrival the hotel is small but very cozy feeling. Check in was super easy and staff was nice. Room was clean and comfortable! I felt safe and we parked literally right outside. I would definitely recommend if you’re in the area and are just wanting to stay the night! Coffee shops and bakeries are everywhere! Went on a cute little 10 min walk in the morning to get coffee and breakfast!

Convenient location. Small property, able to park in front of room. Staff very friendly. Easy to walk to a great restaurant for dinner (Estaban’s) and for breakfast (Wild Plum). Room very clean and comfortable bed.

As always Andy was the man Great value for fire place and jacuzzi tub

It had a jacuzzi tub! Heavy rain storm wind big wind.

Here’s a short review in English for a hotel: We had a wonderful stay.The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped, offering a cozy atmosphere. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure all my needs were met. The location was perfect—close to main attractions yet in a quiet area for a peaceful night’s sleep. The breakfast offered a variety of fresh options, which was a great way to start the day. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!

Stayed here for one night while driving down Highway 1. This is a friendly, clean and safe motel close to the center of Monterey. It's a five minute drive or a bit longer to walk. Very friendly staff (thanks Andy!), sparkling clean and well maintained rooms, safe surroundings, fast WiFi. Would happily book again!

Room was spacious, bed was comfortable, room was very clean and warm. Linens were very clean and pillows were comfortable. Price was very affordable. It was pet friendly. Staff was very welcoming and also let us check in early. Convenient parking to room.

Excellent location - walking distance 15 min to town, beach, golf, etc! Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Excellent jacuzzi and fire pit. Room with private patio is great with a dog guest or space for hanging out! Nice front desk folks too, check out the friendly bird friends too :)

I love this retro on the outside, beautiful upgrades in the rooms joint. The jacuzzi is big & perfect. Much appreciated. Park right outside your room. Owners are great! Very friendly.

This is an interesting older property with rooms that have been beautifully restored. Property is quiet and we loved the jacuzzi!

I especially loved having a patio for the dogs and the jacuzzi to relax after kayaking and hiking.

We rented a family bungalow for our family of 5. The fact that you don't share a wall with neighbors is nice. The beds were super comfortable, and the location and staff were great. Loved they had an outdoor fire pit and jacuzzi. Also, they are pet friendly, which was important to me. Would definitely recommend staying here again.

A huge bedroom with a fireplace ,full kitchen and dining area, an enclosed deck (meaning private with a high fence) with chairs and a separate space with a tv and couch in case your husband wants to watch sports! The breakfast was good. Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits and croissants, fresh fruits, yogurt, assorted cereals, juices and coffee. The staff monitoring the breakfast were friendly and attentive to details. You can eat inside, outside in a table by the fountain, in the gazebo, or take it to your room. The property is in a neighborhood just off the 17 Mile Dr road. Convenient to go to Monterey, Pebble Beach, and Carmel.

I booked the place from the cleanliness ratings. The place was exceptionally clean. When I checked into my room the sun shone brightly in my room, a time when it's easy to see everything. The place was spotless, seriously. The front office was really great and friendly. The price was good. The whole property exterior property was well maintained. It was convenient to the freeway but very quiet. As a single woman traveling alone, a very comfortable experience.

Location in Pacific Grove. Breakfast was good. Coffee, asst. breads, yogurt, cereals, breakfast sandwich, etc. The King suite was spacious with a fireplace, central heat, had a full kitchen and it was stocked with plates, utensils and all cooking supplies, included Cooktop, microwave. Hotel was tucked away in a residential area. The hotel also let you choose the time of day you’d like the room cleaned. Rooms were clean and Nicely decorated. Beautiful gazebo on the grounds. Hotel was well maintained. We would stay here again.

9 minute nature walk to pismo beach, 15 minute walk to butterfly preserve. Very safe and walkable. We were right above the breakfast room and heard nothing. Big lovely room with large balcony. Great breakfast. Egg mcmuffin, blueberry waffles with homemade looking strawberry and blueberry compotes among other goodies. A family of 4 saved over $60 on that alone.( area is very expensive. $20 for a 1 person pizza for ex.) Would have been better to have the bigger bed in the room with the bathroom. Great value and wish we had more days here. Great for family with kids. Separate bedroom for adults and tvs in each room which you can't hear the other with the door closed. Lots of natural light and high ceilings. Didn't seem dated. Suggestions: dark wood mirror frame instead of weird beige in bathroom.

A very comfortable stay. Service was prompt and friendly, continental breakfast was super convenient, and accommodations (although on the older side) were well maintained. I was attending a conference at Asilomar conference grounds, and this was the perfect place to stay that offered more amenities than staying on the conference grounds without a huge price tag. Overall enjoyed our stay!

The gentleman that checked us in was friendly, quick, efficient, and even told us where we could find some coffee and juice in the morning before leaving. From the moment we walked in, we were comfortablw. We noticed that the rooms we specious, clean, and had a pleasant smell upon walking in. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Slept the whole night through and couldn’t hear any of the neighbors next to us. The property is conveniently located right in front of Del Monte shopping center, and is walkable to other stores and dining options. Definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Monterey and looking for a quiet, convenient hotel to relax at the end of your day!

It was a very quiet and safe stay. The check in was easy and there were no problems with the room. It was very clean spacious had all the amenities I needed for the night. The bed was comfy and they provided enough pillows. They offer a delightful coffee bar in the lobby at check in.

Very nice, modern hotel room. Quaint. Very clean and smelled fresh. Friendly staff. Great location. Within minutes of great restaurants, shopping and Cannery Row and Wharf. Would definitely stay there again. Only thing to consider was hearing guests next door at times. Mostly quiet.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Room is clean and nicely furnished. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Location is excellent - restaurants, shopping and While Foods Market are across the street and easy to walk to, and Cannery Row is a fast and easy drive away as is the road to Carmel and Big Sur. Gods value for the price. I am glad I chose Days Inn for my stay.

It was close to everything you would need for a family trip like gas stations, aquarium & cannery row. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast only had juice, coffee & breakfast bars. For a last min trip this hotel was great for us!

Location was fabulous and a stone’s throw from the beach. The room was lovely, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Heated swimming pool and jacuzzi was a lovely surprise along with seated garden area.

Comfy beds, good sized fridge, nice coffee and warm jacuzzi. Situated opposite the beach and within easy walking distance of everything. A great base for a few days of exploring.

Clean room, good parking, heated pool and jacuzzi, nice garden and plants in the resort, yard with firepit and sofas

convenient location. A lot of noises and walking traffic. Couples doing weird things in Jacuzzi.

Great small hotel. Jacuzzi and pool are heated. It is walking distance from the Old Fisherman Wharf.

Stayed 2 nights with kids. Overall, the stay was nice. The room (a suite) that we stayed in was spacious enough for us all and for a great price. Bathroom was mostly clean, just the floor of the shower could be re-finished. Breakfast wasn't that great, but it got the job done (we weren't there for the breakfast, so whatevs). More on breakfast: The breakfast area was too small (extended seating was around the corner though), lines can get long for waffles, so get ready. They didn't have non-dairy milk options for the cereal. I think that was the worse part for me, as a family member of mine is allergic to dairy and cereal is their thing. The hostesses at the front weren't particularly warm and welcoming, but they got the job done completely and speedily. For what I needed (a comfy, clean bed to sleep in), this place fulfilled it, and what they didn't give (non-dairy milk and other items), I could pick up from Walmart across the street. 😂... Side note: there's a delicious Vietnamese restaurant close, called The Noodle Bar. It's small and gets packed, but worth the wait.

Newly renovated this is clean hotel with modern updates. Our room was very spacious with all the amenities we needed. The King bed we had was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and nicely light. A great location convenient to the Coastal Hwy, shopping and great restaurants.

It was absolutely exhilarating the establishment was absolutely beautiful the rooms were spacious and comfortable staff was very friendly & helpful the location was perfect I would love to stay again which I plan to next year and would highly recommend to friends and family. Very clean place to stay with your family

Convenient location from Cal State Monterey Bay. The room was very clean; beds were comfortable; offered breakfast was just enough to start our day; the staff was very friendly and helpful.

This Comfort Inn is definitely acceptable for a short, practical stay. It's not quite a resort but it's a fine suburban hotel. The room was clean and the staff was definitely friendly and helpful. The breakfast area was pretty small and slightly cramped, but it was a free breakfast after all. This is not a ding on the hotel at all, but just a heads up for other LGBTQ+ travelers... we did get some stares/hostile looks at breakfast. I'm often in the area and never felt like anyone paid attention to us, but it was pretty obvious that other guests were watching us. Again, not the hotel's fault at all, but just a heads up.

We really liked the room and, especially the bed. The room was quiet and clean and nicely large. When we arrived, we could not find a parking space nearby and the host moved his car so that we could park very close to the entrance. We enjoyed our first breakfast; service was quite good. The breakfast on our second day did not go well, because there were too many people for the staff to handle. We eventually got our tea and juice and the other breakfast items were supplied. Parking is a big problem. And some sidewalks are dirt paths. On the positive side, again, all the staff at the front desk were extremely helpful. We especially are grateful to the manager who helped us with TV problems and recommended two very good restaurants for dinners. Overall, we were very happy with our stay.

We loved our stay at Le Petit Pali, and all of the delightful surprises: sparkling rose' at check in, beer-tastings, tasty breakfast offerings, cozy spots to gather, bicycles to borrow...plus in the beautifully decorated rooms were comfy robes, a straightening iron, cookies each night and other amenities. The location was perfect...just a block from the shops and restaurants, and a walk to the beach and scenic drive. We traveled with our daughter and son-in-law, and will certainly return!

Wonderful stay! The staff was amazing, our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Complementary breakfast was delicious and a great way to start our day. The location was excellent, easily walkable to all the shops/restaurants. Dog bed, treats, feeding bowls, and toy was a lovely touch. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely hotel. Glass of sparkling wine upon check in, fun complementary social hour, delicious cookie left in our room, and great breakfast spread in the morning. We used their complementary bikes and cruised the coast. Beautiful! We enjoyed our corner room, rm 18. Lots of light. I preferred this more spacious and private room even though it only had a queen bed. I still recommend this room and this hotel. We had a sound machine brought to our room just in case the road noise was loud, it wasn’t. They have a Spotify play list which my husband and I really enjoyed too. It’s become our vacay playlist. The location is perfect! Walkable to everywhere. Once you get a parking spot, don’t leave, because parking is hard to find in this area. Thanks for a delightful stay.

Previous reviews were spot on. It looks old on the outside but it is pretty on the inside. The bed was super comfortable. We stayed two nights with our toddler and they provided a pack n play and blankets. The shampoo, conditioner, body wash were amazing, and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. A few things that could be improved: Stock the coffee bar a bit more, with decaf options, more water, provide a blanket/throw for the couch. Overall it was a great stay and we will stay again-when we can afford it =)

They upgraded our stay for free for my husband’s birthday, welcomed us with complimentary bottle of birthday wine, and were super helpful. The hotel is very kid friendly so I will say if you’re looking for a relaxing jacuzzi or pool maaaaybe go somewhere else but that was such a small thing for us it really wasn’t a big deal. The hotel is beautiful and the room was perfect. Relaxing shower, beautiful king bed and patio, just all around a great experience. 10/10 100% recommend staying here.

Convenient location - walkable to sites. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable room. Will come again

Extremely convenient location to see and explore Monterey Bay. Our family with two small children were able to easily walk to the aquarium, the wharf and the delicious restaurants and bakeries. The room itself was clean and quiet. It came with everything we bneeded to stay comfortably

I would surely return to this property. The staff that we encountered were all kind and respectful. The hotel is walking distance to the wharf and lots of shops and restaurants around. There’s a restaurant at the lobby area that serves delicious breakfast for a fee.

Great central location. Everything is walkable . The rooms are clean and the lobby is really nice. Parking was convenient. Will definitely stay here again.

Quiet , comfortable, clean...no pool, or jacuzzi but after driving all day , its a great place to sleep . Close enough to all the attractions .

Staff was friendly. Check in was fast. Room was clean, bed comfortable. The main office was also clean and well maintained, same with the parking lot so just how they do things. Parking lot is small and was full but plenty of parking on the street— preferred it as it was safer from door dings. Location was quiet, felt safe but also very close to restaurants and downtown, walkable. Great cafe down the street for good coffee and food with friendly staff, Wild Plum.

This is a hidden gem in Monterey!! Great location. Walking distance to downtown, Wharf, beaches, restaurants(are everywhere), and easy trail access to Cannery Row, but not so close that you hear the noises! Very quiet stay. We were in 223 (double pane windows) for 11 nights and only 1 night were our neighbors annoying, ie making noise til midnight. There are understandable noises for awhile after someone moves in, but everyone else was quiet by 10 PM. Great sleep in great beds. KC is an amazing host! Very friendly and accommodating. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, stocked, and full amenities. ALWAYS hot water :) A/C and heater worked wonderfully. Only 10-15 minutes needed to reach comfort levels. Can't beat this for the price. We will always recommend to friends and stay again and again and again!! Thanx KC ;)

I booked this hotel last minute on the Hotel Tonight app. I was able to see the previous reviews about the noise, I am a city dweller and can sleep through most things. The room was updated, clean, and spacious. The bed was comfortable, the water was hot, the elevator, fridge, and wifi worked well, and the parking was included onsite next to the rooms. The parking was well lit and they had outdoor security cameras. Hotel Check-out was at 11:00 am so I was able to walk to the Wild Plum, take away breakfast and coffee, and finish a few meetings before needing to leave. The front desk manager A. KC was gracious, knowledgeable, and customer experience focused. He made sure I was settled in after my late arrival and security was top of mind. Overall I slept great and felt safe. This isn't a fancy stay, and I wouldn't have paid the regular price they have listed on their website, but it was a fantastic deal and I'm thankful they had a vacancy.

Overall this was a great place to stay for the price for us. The room was spacious, clean, and attractive. Wood flooring (rather than old carpet) was much appreciated, but also meant that noise from the kids upstairs was more apparent. The woman who checked us in and out was extremely friendly and helpful. When there was an issue with our room lock/key cards someone came over right away to fix the problem. It was great to have a fridge and microwave in addition to the coffee maker! Always great to have abundant parking. Several dining options within walking distance. I'd go back for sure!

We stayed in a Huge room with a King size, very comfortable bed. Squeaky clean too! Rooms are all on one level, free parking, very quiet in the evenings, walking distance to the Ocean, and lots of restaurants nearby. Family owned business. There is also an excellent specialized Coffee, sandwich, small bites, restaurant right across the street, with big tables, board games, puzzles, cards, etc. available for the customers. They even have live music available occassionally on weekends. The place is called, "The Creperie Cafe," also with very friendly, helpful staff!

I have truly found my favorite place to stay! The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The location was just minutes away from anything we needed. The room itself was perfect for my family; clean, spacious, and warm. As for the price, it was unbeatable!

We had a great stay! It felt like the room was new. Everything was spotless clean and in excellent condition. Very spacious room with very high ceiling! Spacious bathroom too! Hot water right away. Comfy bed.

The staff were friendly. The property was clean outside. Easy to locate and good parking. The rooms were clean and had a clean scent, stocked with enough towels. The room was roomy, beds and pillows were comfy.

My stay at Cannery Row Inn was excellent! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of. I want to give a special thank-you to Allan, who went above and beyond to ensure our trip was smooth and enjoyable. They were attentive, accommodating, and incredibly friendly, always ready to help with any questions or needs we had. The entire team was kind and thoughtful, which really stood out. We stayed in a balcony room, and it was wonderful to relax and take in the ocean breeze. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the essentials. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Cannery Row and the beach, which made exploring Monterey so convenient. If you’re looking for a welcoming hotel with excellent service and a prime location, Cannery Row Inn is a great choice. A huge thank-you to Allan and the entire staff for making our trip so memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

The Cannery Row Inn is in a very excellent location if you want to just walk around Cannery Row, go to the Aquarium, and eat at the Wharf. All are an easy walk. If you follow the bike/pedestrian path, you will easily reach all three places. The bed was soft, not something we are accustomed to. However, it was comfortable and had ample number of pillows and a nice cover. They left extra covers and pillows, which we did not use. Would I stay again? If the price is right, I would. I found cheaper places, but they were further away from where I wanted to be. Overall, it was a place to sleep at the end of the day. It is not luxurious, but I was not expecting it to be. It’s clean and fairly comfortable. Pros: (1) It is at a very convenient location. (2) The room was fairly clean. (3) The fireplace adds some warmth to the room. (4) Check-in was easy through my cell phone. (5) Room keys were ready when we arrived. (6) The room is spacious. (7) The room has a refrigerator and a microwave. (8) Free WiFi Cons: (1) Property could use some updates. (2) The door required us to pull or to push the door open or close. (3) Towels are not conveniently located near the sink or shower. If you forget to grab a towel before using the sink or shower, you dripped water everywhere. (4) The sink was odd. If you did not turn the water on full force, water dripped all over the counter. (5) There was rust at the base of the sink counter, and tiles were cracked.

The Inn is in such a good location, just steps from the beach and central to the Cannery Row attractions and old town attractions. Very walkable. The staff was helpful, courteous, and pleasant. The room was a bit older, but very clean and well kept. It was helpful to have both a microwave and refrigerator. I really enjoyed having the gas fireplace as evenings were a bit humid and chilly. The bed was very comfortable. And it was nice having a small balcony with seating. The on site parking (at a reasonable daily fee) was so useful rather than trying to find parking at the various attractions (expensive). it was a most enjoyable stay and I will be back.

our room was nice! great shower and bathroom! bed was super comfortable. the only thing is there’s not very much views as there are buildings blocking the view but it is like a 4 minute walk down to a beachfront, 2 minutes if you run! i enjoyed watching the sunrise and just quickly running down to the beach that had a great view! staff were all nice and helpful! it was about a 15 minute walk to the aquarium and all the other shops there in cannery row. i definitely enjoyed my stay and would visit here again!

The room was AMAZING. The view from the balcony was more than I expected, and I have stayed here before! The bed, sheets, and bathroom are super clean. (The fridge, too!) The staff is so friendly, housekeeping was particularly awesome, and our room was spotless. This is the perfect spot for a romantic weekend getaway. You can hear the ocean, sea lions, and seagulls as you watch the sun set and the moon rise. Just a lovely, lovely spot.

I travel over 100 days a year for my job and stay exclusively in Wyndham properties, so I review each one. The parking lot was clean and well lit on arrival. Check in went smoothly. My room, a king single, was clean, with a comfortable bed and awesome pillows. All of the stated amenities were in place, such as the microwave, small refrigerator, and coffee maker. My air conditioner/heater worked well. The television had a good selection of channels and a nice picture. The breakfast area was clean and they kept bringing fresh items. Despite being an older property the rooms are very nice, you can tell the owners care about the hotel and guests. I do not get out this way often but I would certainly stay here again if needed.

The hotel is in a perfect location, you can find some restaurants walkable and close to the beach. The room was pretty comfortable, clean and with a big bathroom.

It was clean, quiet and very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Location was perfect for us. We would stay there again!

Very convenient to Monterrey downtown and Fisherman's Wharf. If you just want a clean and safe hotel to rest your head after a busy day, this hotel is great. It doesn't offer any amenities like breakfast and it really isn't in walking distance of anything, but when we visit somewhere, we really spend very little time in the room. Just want somewhere clean and safe. You can tell these rooms were recently redone.

Very clean, well kept property. Felt safe and it was quiet. Fridge in room, and coffee maker. Microwave and large coffee machine avaible at front desk. Very nice place to stay

Loved staying here. Our room was perfect and lighting a fire in the fireplace made it even more cozy! Highly recommend staying here - everything is walkable… coffee shops, restaurants, beach, etc.

The location was perfect, within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. We had a pet-friendly cottage for 4 adults & one pup. 2 bedrooms & 1.5 bathrooms. Kitchen that was fully stocked. Lovely back deck/balcony that offered a view of the ocean through the treetops. Also, had one parking space behind the cottage, so we didn’t have to hassle trying to find parking. Also, I read several negative reviews indicating that the staff was rude. I found this to be completely off base. The woman who checked us in was beyond pleasant and helpful.

This hotel is in a great location. Right down town and walkable to everything. We have stayed in a few hotels in the area and they can be very expensive. The price was good for Carmel and the hotel room was comfortable, clean and quiet. The lady named Inge, at the front desk was very friendly and helpful.

Suite with two beds and two bathrooms was such a perfect set up for my husband and I with our two small kids. Nothing like putting the babies to sleep and then having a lovely bedroom with a couch and a fireplace to hang out together for the rest of the evening. As all parents who have traveled with kids know - putting kids to bed and then having to sit in a dark hotel room being quiet after they go to sleep is such a bummer. This hotel suite was pretty much perfect and avoided that completely! We all walked to a lovely dinner downtown and it felt safe and easy, and then came back to enjoy the fireplace Carmel cottage magic, and we will totally come back

The place is a little outdated but don't let that deter you from staying here. The bed and pillows were comfy with all-white linens. The room was spacious and did not smell like a dog-friendly room. There is a cute courtyard where I sat comfortably to have my coffee. The hotel is conveniently located to shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms. And the staff, from the front desk to housekeeping are salt of the earth beings! I am definitely staying here again!

Very nice stay, big clean rooms. Need another Jacuzzi, or a bigger one.

We were impressed by our check-in service. We received a lovely suite that comfortable fit our family of 7 (4 kids, 1 baby - we packed a travel crib), and enjoyed the Mission style of the property and beautiful grounds. The location could not be beat. Breakfast was great and filling. The jacuzzi was small but clean, and kiddos were happy.

Last minute booking (our other place cancelled on us)- called Hotel Pacific and they were very responsive and helpful. We booked a spacious 2 bedroom plus couch/ kitchenette with patio which felt roomy for 2 adults, 2 teens and a husky. Bathroom was large with 2 showers. it was quiet, comfortable and a great location- 2-3 blocks from the bay where we could walk/ run and see seals, pelicans and seagulls gathering and relaxing on the rocks. close to fisherman’s wharf, right across from Portola hotel and spa which we also considered. Portola has a carmel bakery with great coffee and nice restaurants- seemed a little louder over there. Hotel Pacific has quiet courtyards with tables, clean and comfortable and we chose it for the spacious rooms to relax and unwind. perfect place for us- So glad we stayed here and we would come back. Also, so glad we picked Monterey which was less crowded and much cheaper than Carmel. We were 20 minutes from Garrapata state park on Big Sur - great hike through wildflowers and redwoods and 10 minutes from Carmel where we had lunch and braved the summer crowds and then could return to peaceful, pleasant Monterey.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. It had the feel of a cute beach cottage. Property is very close to beach, super friendly staff, easy check in/out. Shower head was a handheld (why don't all hotels have these?!), pressure was fantastic and the shower height seemed higher than standard, so yay for the tall folks =D. All shower essentials were provided. Plenty of counter space. Coffee maker, coffee, tea and sweeteners were in a little "kitchen" area where there was a table for 2, a microwave, refrigerator and sink. It appeared that there were a couple of plates in the cabinet too. The fireplace worked wonderfully to take the chill off the air, although we did have to ask for matches - fair enough. The sitting area in front of the fireplace was cozy and cute. We had a small semi-private patio area out back as well. During the day, the windows let in a decent amount of light. We had to leave before we could try the breakfast, so no comment on that.

What a lovely place to stay! I would have loved to spend several days there and my friend loved it so much she brought her daughter there a couple weeks later. The suites look like the pictures and are very roomy and comfortable. Our suite had both a shower and a bath tub. Comfy beds (2 in our room) and the sofa pulls out if you have additional people. There is a fireplace which would be so cozy and romantic on a chilly night. A small fridge and microwave allow you to bring food or snacks if you don’t want to check out one of the many area restaurants. They have a substantial included breakfast (the chocolate muffins are worth breaking diet for). Most importantly, they are located in an easy walk to the wharf if you’ve planned whale watching. It’s a great base for exploring so much of what Monterey offers. Parking is plentiful, safe and reasonable. I can’t wait to come back and spend a few days. Thank you to management and staff for a memorable delightful stay.

Great location and value. Walkable to downtown and beach if you’re a walker. Uneven sidewalks and hills though. The room was very clean and comfortable. It was nice having separate cabins with parking for each The bed was very comfortable, ice was convenient and the staff was helpful. The price was exceptional for Carmel. Would recommend the hotel

Rooms are in separate tiny houses, with their own parking space. Our room was on the lower end of the resort, therefore very calm. In the room it was spacious enough, equipped with all the extras you may need during your stay (iron, heater, ventillator etc). It was clean, check in & check out easy and fast. Staff was helpful. Locationwise is a good choice, restaurants/bars are in walking distance, as well as the beach - however, be prepared for steep walks! 😉

Cottage room was spacious. Bed was comfortable. It was really in a really quiet neighborhood. Front desk was friendly and helpful. Parking was right next to the room. Easy access to downtown but too far to walk. Our cottage had it's own outdoor fire pit. That was pretty cool.

A very clean and spacious room with a comfortable bed. The cottages were quite cozy with heating, coffee maker and individually earmarked parking.

Jay was very helpful in giving me directions and recommendations. It is a good walk down into the center of town and a hike back up. , but is managed by driving partway and parking on a side street to lessen the walk back. The rooms are individual cabin with parking places right next to each. Very clean, comfortable, quiet and nice location with trees within the premises. My passport was left behind and Jay went above and beyond to send it on to me. I would stay there again.

Loved the complimentary breakfast with the room I booked and the Jacuzzi tub.

We enjoyed the size of the room and the jacuzzi tub. The location was also a major plus.

Room was very spacious and they gave us a king bed though we booked for a queen at no extra cost. Water in pool was nice and not just heated but warm! I enjoyed a little exercise in the comfortable pool. Jacuzzi was also great and it actually worked! Staff was friendly and helpful, except when we arrived...

From the time we arrived, we felt welcome. We were greeted by a friendly and warm woman who ran to open the door for us. She interacted with myself, husband, and child with understanding and kindness. The room and hot breakfast was outstanding. We were able to soak in our jacuzzi tub, watch deers out the window, and enjoy being surrounded by nature.

Reasonable Rates. Made to order breakfast when you book some rooms! This property has been updated in the past and could be fantastic today if they would keep up on maintenance. They need things like touch up paint, Window repair, updated appliances, new soaker tubs (don’t need the expense of jacuzzi’s) fixing rotting wood on exterior trim. We would have booked the honeymoon cottage but - no tub? Nice place but don’t expect perfection.

We booked this hotel at the last minute to get out of a bad hotel we were in. When we arrived we were tired and hungry. The clerk was so nice and welcoming. After checking in, she let me know there is hot coffee, cocoa, or tea in the lobby. They also have a cooler with a few quick frozen meals, soup, snacks and drinks. After we settled in & went swimming, I got a few things to eat for our room. The pool was beautiful and clean. The room was clean, and we were shocked at the size of the fridge! Not the typical mini size! The place was quiet, the grounds were well kept and clean! We will probably not stay anywhere else but here on our next trip. Thank you!

The pool was heated, the workout room although small was perfect for a quiet jog on the treadmill. The room was well appointed, clean and comfortable. They offered fresh brewed coffee with a choice of creamers and sweeteners.

It was a 'girl's' trip and so much fun! Everything was close by walking or driving and the property was clean, safe and comfortable! The staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you!

the room was very clean and what really stood out to me was the bathroom. It was basic but clean and spacious. The shower was big and water was very hot. The only thing I would suggest is that there should be a sign in the bathroom stating--shower mat use is highly recommended. The shower become very dangerous once I started using the soap

The bathroom was huge and had a spacious shower! The bed was comfy. Our room was quiet and clean. The location was excellent, across from the Del Monte Shopping Center and close to the wharf, cannery row, downtown and beach. We got a good price for middle of the week.
