Well this property does need some TLC. The staff was great at checkin, room was decent enough. Small compared to other rooms on the price range. AC was a weak link, just didn't keep the room cool enough at night. The bathroom door would not close, without lifting it. Screws loose in hinge. The toilet wasn't secured to the floor. It rocked. The shower doors had about a 1/2 in. gap on the sides. And maybe a 1/4 in. in the middle . Therefore, no matter how hard you tried, water leaked onto the floor. It was conviently located for our needs.

I was extremely disappointed with my stay. From the moment I walked into my room, it had a strong odor of cigarette smoke that seemed to be masked with an overpowering chemical spray. The combination was overwhelming and actually caused me breathing issues, making it very uncomfortable to stay in the room.

I contacted the front desk to explain the situation and asked if I could either be moved to another room or receive a refund so I could stay elsewhere. I was told the hotel was completely sold out, and despite the condition of the room, they refused to offer any refund or accommodation. Instead the manager instructed the front desk to \"smell\" the room herself and give me an air purifier.

I understand that hotels can sell out, but guests should not be expected to stay in a room that smells like smoke and chemicals--especially when it impacts their health and comfort. The lack of customer service and unwillingness to make the situation right was incredibly frustrating. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not stay here again or recommend this hotel to others.

We stayed here for one night and the staff that checked us in was very helpful. She suggested we take a room on an upper floor when she knew it was just my child and I. I felt safe staying there but the motorcycles in and around were so obnoxiously loud. They were riding around with what felt like all hours of the night and I believe someone staying on the property had one too and right outside of our door. I know this is not the property's fault but I don't know if I would stay there again because of this reason. The room was clean and all we needed to do was stay there the night before we went on further north and it served its purpose.

Beds were comfortable and the location very convenient for many activities in the downtown area. Easy walk.

There is a slight issue. Expedia lists free parking with your stay but the hotel doesn’t have enough parking for every room they have. They recommend that if you use your car throughout the day to come back early in the evening or the lot and underground parking might be full. There is lots of free street parking if that happens but Expedia should list this correctly.

All was well. There was a problem at one point with the elevator not in service as we were departing. I would not have been happy with that situation, but it did not impact our stay and no idea how long it took to repair the problem. The staff could not have been nicer.

Checked in at 9pm, to find out that we were apparently given best room/floor priority but elevator was not working. We had a lot of luggage & were tired so we accepted the one room available on bottom floor.
- It was an adjoining room where we could hear the guy coughing like he was 3 feet away. It was too late and costly to change hotels. Desk clerk Emmy asked if we were willing to move to the higher floor the next day once elevator was fixed. We accepted but given the hassle of it all, I respectfully requested some financial compensation. She said she would reach out to manager Craig.
His bad behavior, is the primary reason for this poor rating. It would have been a terrible one if not for a comfortable bed & kind & compassionate front desk clerks: Emmy & Becca.
Here is what I heard from him:
“I was up all night dealing with this elevator problem because of people like you…expecting special treatment because you are VIP & complaining because you hear a cough”
“No idea when elevator will be fixed and so you should just leave”
When I said to pls notify us when elevator is fixed he replied: “No, you are going to stay where you are because of your stated inconvenience to move - & go back to Expedia for compensation.
Elevator was fixed the next day & we were not notified or given the initially promised option to move.
The manner in which Craig addressed this & spoke to me was unprofessional - Dismissive. Mocking. Demeaning. Hostile. Rude & incredibly offensive. Never again

The room itself appeared clean, the location was good, and the managing partner responded promptly when we had issues, apologized, returned my pillows we accidentally left behind, and issued a $250 partial refund, which we appreciated.

Unfortunately, our stay ended on a very concerning note. Before checking out, we found multiple small insects between the mattresses and another blood-filled insect on the bedding. We documented everything with photos and videos and immediately reported it. The room was taken out of service while it was inspected.

We were later told the inspection \"did not reveal any significant findings,\" but we were never informed what the insects actually were. As a result, we returned home spending hours inspecting, cleaning, treating, and isolating our clothing and luggage to reduce the risk of bringing anything into our home. We still don't know whether those precautions will ultimately be enough.

While we appreciated the partial refund, we paid nearly $650 for two nights on a very basic motel, and did not feel the resolution reflected the disruption, stress, and ongoing concern this created. Hopefully our experience was an isolated incident, but future guests should be aware of what happened so they can make their own informed decision.

The only down side was, bathroom didn't have body soap provided. But luckily I always have an extra bar of soap from previous hotels. But really great location.

Checked in at 7pm with Becca. She gave an excellent welcome with instructions on parking underground Saturday and allowed on the street Sunday. Where the ice machine was. How to walk to Fisherman's Wharf (11 minutes straight down the block). Pointed out coffee, tea, hot chocolate, coffee maker, water cooler all available 24\7. Workman who was on the property and was SO polite and friendly too.
Room was clean with modern upgrades. TV didn't have an on-TV guide but plenty of channels. Bathroom had soap and shampoo but would have loved lotion. Only 3 pillows in queen bed, no blanket in closet. No washcloth. All rooms face a very noisy street (Fremont and Munras) so bring earplugs!

Excellent location for for exploring Monterey…and there is parking provided!

Don’t be fooled by the beautiful pictures. It’s like a low income apartment. The parking is horrific. There are five spaces in the front of the hotel. None for registration. To get to the underground parking you need to drive acting the block. No water bottles or microwave in the room. Elevator smells like it is never been vacuumed. The room smelled moldy. Both days we were there they had plumbing work being done early in the morning. The good walking distance to all the eateries, the Warf, and the freeway.

This was such a pleasant surprise for the price! Rooms have been updated nicely and are very well maintained. I especially loved the individual flexible book lights built onto the headboard, and the nice walk in shower! The location is also ideal, walking distance to tons of great food, Traders Joes for essentials and other downtown highlights. A free trolley runs in the summer months and picks up right near the hotel.
The only cons I’d be point out are there is limited parking- not enough for everyone staying there when full so some might need to use street parking. And the outward facing rooms have poor soundproofing, which made it difficult to sleep at times.
Overall for the price point I would happily stay here any time!

We had a great two night stay at the Stevenson. It was affordable, centrally located (and walkable to the beach, eateries, etc.), and clean. Parking is free and the employees are friendly.

Good location within walking distance to the wharf area. No breakfast, and underground parking had pools of water all over the place. Room and hotel needs some renovation to keep up with modern standards at that price point.

Clean rooms, comfortable bedding and perfect downtown Monterey location with easy walking to eateries and free trolley bus to Aquarium. Parking at hotel is not the best with tight spots and less availability in comparison to rooms rented. Lastly, heated pool was not very heated in comparison to other hotel establishments.

My spouse and I recently stayed at the Stevenson Hotel in Monterey and were extremely disappointed with our experience.

Upon arrival, we noticed the room was not as clean as expected and there was an unpleasant odor throughout the property. The walls were also incredibly thin, allowing us to hear virtually everything happening in the adjoining rooms, making it very difficult to relax or get a good night’s sleep.

Additionally, our room thermostat was not functioning properly. We reported the issue to the front desk and were told someone would come to fix it, but no one ever did. As a result, the heater never worked, and we spent the night uncomfortably cold.

Before booking, we researched the hotel on multiple travel websites and found overwhelmingly positive reviews. Unfortunately, our experience did not reflect those reviews at all. For the price we paid—over $300 for a single night—we expected a much higher standard of cleanliness, comfort, and customer service.

In all honesty, we have stayed at budget accommodations that provided a better overall experience. We left feeling that our money was wasted and would not choose to stay here again.

I like this hotel; but it’s more like a motel. Very small rooms but excellent location in the heart of downtown Monterey. If you don’t mind a bit of a dated property with very basic amenities; this may be a good option. Definitely not luxury, but we’ll do the job for a short stay if you prioritize location above anything else. On the plus side. Everything has been upgraded and the property itself looks very nice.

We had a great stay here. Parking for check-in was tricky, so the attendant that was cleaning the grounds moved her car so we could park there. The front desk clerk was amazingly helpful and could not have be nicer. She gave me clear directions and ideas of what we should do. We walked or used the free trolly everywhere after we parked, so the location was convenient. The room was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my two-night stay at the Stevenson Monterey. I was fortunate to have a quiet corner room on the third floor, which turned out to be the perfect place to relax after long days of exploring.

The location was one of the biggest highlights. I didn't get in my car to drive somewhere at all during my stay. Alta Bakery, Ad Astra Bread Co., Trader Joe's, and several excellent restaurants were all within easy walking distance. I also enjoyed multiple walks to the pier, the beach, and Pacific Grove throughout the weekend.

The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which allowed me to get a little work done after my morning walks before heading back out to explore. The hotel provided a great balance of comfort, convenience, and tranquility.

Overall, it was the perfect home base for my solo long weekend in Monterey. I would absolutely stay here again and look forward to returning.

The room was clean, so I am not sure where the smell originated. Maybe just musty from age. But that would not deter me from staying there again. It was an overall good stay.

The motel is old and basic but the rooms are very clean, the shower had adequate water pressure, friendly staff, coffee and water in the office, towels were good and walkable to downtown and wharf. Parking is safe even on the street. The only thing is elevator is a little musty but that’s minor. Comfortable stay and I really did not hear the other tenants in the rooms , so it was nice and peaceful.

Fine to have a reasonably comfortable bed to sleep in. Bring an eye mask if the light bothers you though as the black out curtains don’t extend to cover the window which also means anyone walking by can see into your room. The pool is tiny and nothing like the pictures but it’s there.

The above ground parking lot is awkward. But the underground parking garage is spacious, though there's some water along one wall. The staff was nice. The front desk is staffed 24 hours. The lobby area offers filtered cold/hot water and coffee, teas, and hot cocoa.
We happened to get an ADA room. The shower opening had no shower curtain. Water splashed quite far. Third of the bathroom floor stayed wet for quite a while. The inn is located on a busy street. The traffic noise including rushing ambulances can be noisy. Also, being on the first floor, we could hear foot steps above and sounds from surrounding rooms.
There are many restaurants, Trader Joe's, and Monterey Bay within walking distance.

Great hotel minutes from Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey. The room was spacious and clean, staff were friendly and helpful, and we were able to make good use of the 24hr tea/coffee facilities and the heated pool. There is also a microwave in the communal area. Parking was plentiful (both at ground level and underground). I would recommend this hotel and would stay again on a return visit to Monterey.

I liked it. For one it's just what I needed. Simple, clean. Great location and easy parking underneath the hotel. Located near the Pier where there is a great seafood restaurant.
Some of the rooms may have the view blocked by stairwell or electrical things. It didn't matter whether I had a 3rd floor or 2nd floor. The elevator is a nice addition to a weary traveller. Front desk staff both great night and day. I'd return.

Arrived early, room ready but used Expedia so wouldn’t let us in early, going to charge $50.00 extra. Gentleman not very friendly but when we came back the lady very helpful. Very old hotel but within walking distance of restaurants. A lot of street noise. No black out curtains, light from street very bright had to hang blanket. Probably would not stay there again
