The location and the staff were excellent. The fact there was no parking assigned to the hotel was a surprise as we probably didn't read the hotel notes carefully enough. If one wants to avoid the $39 a night valet fee, there several nearby parking garages one can use. There is no A/C or phone, but great Wifi. The Trolley stop is right outside. The Trolley is free and runs every 15 min. Overall, we are very happy with our stay.

Do NOT book the Monterey Hotel!

Albeit, the Monterey Hotel is somewhat historic, the amenities and feel need serious attention. The staff was helpful, but it appears that the ownership is negligent in keeping the hotel is a condition that most travelers or tourist expect.

The room we were g did not have simple amenities such as a rack to hang clothing, the luggage stand was broken, the mattress was collapsing and the carpet was filthy. The toilet seat was excessively worn, some goo was coming from the bathtub faucet, and the place didn't seem clean at all. Walking past other rooms, they appeared to be in similar condition.

If you look at the photos of the website, the room that we were given did not appear to be the same in amenities, and condition. Not sure why this was...

Since we were in town for only one evening, we toughed it out... NEVER AGAIN!

I recommend that Expedia either drop the Monterey Hotel, or perhaps the hotel can be a bit more forthcoming on the actual condition of the hotel (based on our experience).

Be careful booking this place; watch 4 bait & switch. T’We booked a king room, expecting to have a refrigerator in a microwave, and it didn’t even have a chair in the room. When we inquired, they told us these items came with the deluxe king. Thankfully, we were able to switch the 1st night for an extra $20… But that was only for one night of our two nights. There are no air conditioners in this hotel and some of the windows don’t open. The floor fan in the deluxe room was dirty… And it was the only airflow we had all night. Paint chipped, not well-maintained furniture, and far less than I expected for the price…pay the extra $ and stay at the Marriott like we did for the 2nd night. The spa, jacuzzi and ice are in a creepy basement. I would only do due the winter if you are considering it. The redeeming factor was the Staff were responsive and nice..

The historic part which is where we stayed was very quaint but for today’s needs there are no usb type connections for devices and the older wiring was a bit dicey to use cables for power to our phones. We should have had the plug in adapter and it’s a fair chance it was my charger that wasn’t charging but I think the older wiring may have contributed. It’s a historic building ! What do you expect ? The room was in the smaller side but again historical building is not what we are used to. Just the same it was a lovely place to stay and convenient for location in terms of getting to the sites. Only down side is no parking but you can unload and go to the public parking lot and uber. Otherwise it’s 1 hour parking 9-6.

Our room was clean and the bed comfortable. This is an older property so you have to realize some parts are historic and don’t have amenities you might find in most newer properties. Our room didn’t have a/c. They did have fans and we could open the window. It was cooler outside so our room never got too hot. The historic portion might require some stairs off the elevator where a luggage cart can’t go.
The staff were friendly and helpful. There was coffee, tea & hot cocoa available in the morning in the parlor off the lobby. The lobby had couches, a little book lending library. There was a table & chairs if you wanted to play games. We only wished it had a TV to watch the Workd Cup.
The price was right for our budget. It was conveniently near the ward, the plaza, restaurants, bars and a great walking path.

We did not like that there were no fireplace as shown on the website. The room was extremely small. No room for an open wheel chair! We asked for a room just a little bigger than room 311 and they said sorry there’s nothing else available.

There was a stained decorative pillow on the bed. There was such bulky furniture in that small room!. We only came to realize we were set up in the oldest part of the hotel. We just stayed there due to it being the 4th of July weekend. We were not wanting more hassles. Room for an open wheel chair would have been great!

This was not a good experience, and I would not stay at The Monterey Hotel again. The hotel is extremely outdated, and it often felt like the word “historical” was being used as an excuse for basic maintenance issues. There were signs explaining that the elevator was historical and could break if the door was held open too long, that the toilet was historical and could clog, and other similar warnings. I understand that it’s a historic property, but that should not mean guests have to expect things to malfunction. The valet experience was also frustrating. Valet parking costs $39, but there was no valet waiting outside and no clear signage explaining where to go. Since most of the surrounding street parking was already packed, we did not want to risk using the off-site self-parking. We first pulled up to the front of the hotel and were told by a lobby staff member to drive around to the back entrance. Once we got to the back, there was still no valet there, so we had to walk back into the lobby and ask someone to retrieve our car. For a $39 valet service, guests should not have to go looking for the valet themselves. The check-in experience was not much better. The employee who checked us in, a woman with dark hair and glasses, was neither welcoming nor particularly friendly, and she never told us which floor our room was on or explained that our “historic” room was located past an open-air section of the hotel. We took the elevator up, couldn’t find our room, and had to come

They tried hard with nice towels. Old furniture was not antique, but knock-offs. Shower over tub was particularly steep, with no security bar. I had to request shower matt. Shutters and fireplace nice, for which I chose and paid extra for a deluxe room. No convenient parking. No luggage assist. Entrance to hotel has no loading zone and is several stair steps below elevator level. Hotel should e-mail guests and advise that rear entrance is more convenient on Calle Principe, although then you must leave your luggage vulnerable, and far from the reception desk.

It’s close to Fisherman’s Wharf and there are a lot of restaurants nearby. We stayed in one of the “historic rooms” . Very bare bones. A bed, tv and a desk with a coffee maker. Thought it would feel
haunted but no. We were on the fourth floor in a room facing the street. It felt like we were sleeping in an active construction site filled with angry seagulls. Looking out the window, there was no construction going on so not sure where all of that noise was coming from. Long story short, glad we only stayed there one night.

Personally, I think if I just needed a place to stay on a solo vacation, because I was going to be out exploring most of the days, it’s a good option.

Upon our arrival, we noticed the lobby carpet was dirty and hadn’t been vacuumed in a while. We opted for the older sections of the hotel, which unfortunately lacked air conditioning. We weren’t sure if the newer sections had AC, but we didn’t mind the older feel and smell of the old wood. The smell was pleasant enough because we were eager to stay in this cool, historic hotel for a bit.

The room was clean and had only one window, which it was hot in the room, so we opened the window only to discovered it didn’t have a screen. We promptly requested a fan, which the staff brought one up to our room and greatly helped. The bathrooms had been remodeled, resulting in a spacious and modern design.

While there was no on-site parking, a public paid lot was conveniently located across the street at a reasonable price. We were able to walk and enjoy the downtown area shops and resturant with a pleasant stay in this historic hotel.

We understand that this is a historic hotel, and we truly appreciate that because we travel all over the world and love staying in charming, historic properties. Unfortunately, the room we were given was extremely disappointing and looked nothing like the photos shown in the listing.

The biggest issue was the very unpleasant smell in the room, which most likely came from the old, heavily worn carpets. They looked dirty and extremely outdated, and the odor was so strong that we had to keep the window open all night while running the ceiling fan. Unfortunately, the fan made loud, unusual noises throughout the night, making it difficult to sleep.

The furniture was unattractive and very worn out. There were no bedside lamps and not even a chair in the room, making it feel incomplete and uncomfortable.

We fully understand that a historic hotel does not have to be modern, but guests should still receive a clean, comfortable room that matches the photos advertised. Sadly, this was not our experience. I would not recommend staying here, as it can be a very disappointing experience.

We luckily had the option to switch rooms for the second night, and the noise in the courtyard room was much better. Overall, room felt clean enough, but the lobby was visibly dirty. The hot water served in the morning was like warm. We will not be staying here again.

The place is funky, and in a nostalgic way. The building itself is ideally located in downtown Old Monterey, steps from the historic adobes, near the wharf, in the midst of the weekly farmer’s market. The building reminds me of Europe, odd staircases, non functional elevators, no parking, this place could be really chic. New beds would be a great start. My room was very clean and a sweet maid was on duty throughout my stay. My windows opened, but without a breeze, there was a ceiling fan, no A/C.
This is the heart of Monterey and surrounded by exceptional restaurants. I would highly recommend Alejandro’s, fine Mexican just up the street. Cafe Fina on the wharf for the freshest of seafood with a window on the local otters.
I would stay there again. Fingers crossed for a better, quieter bed.

We were really disappointed with our stay at this hotel. The photos online are extremely misleading and do not reflect the actual condition of the property. When we arrived, we genuinely didn’t even recognize it from the exterior because it looked so different—far more run-down and dated in person.

Inside, the hotel felt very dingy. The carpets were visibly dirty and stained to the point where we didn’t feel comfortable placing any bags or purses on the floor unless they could be wiped down afterward. Overall cleanliness and upkeep were not what we expected based on the listing.

One particularly uncomfortable experience happened early in the morning. As a mom of two currently in my first trimester, I was feeling nauseous and went down to the lobby restroom to avoid waking my family. While quietly waiting for the nausea to pass, hotel staff came and banged on the door, questioning whether I was a guest and asking me to leave. Even after explaining the situation, the interaction felt invasive and lacking in basic privacy and courtesy.

The only real positive was the location—it is within walking distance to many nearby attractions, which was convenient. Theres a nice walking trail nearby which we enjoyed using.

That said, we would strongly suggest looking into other nearby hotels for a more comfortable and welcoming experience.

Tiny rooms for the money, parking not ideal. Definitely haunted, will stay elsewhere next visit.

This was the absolute worst hotel experience I have ever had. There were stains everywhere, blood marks, boogers, stains on the floors with red carpet that was probably installed in the 50s. Our door hinge was loose and door did not close properly. It was a hostel with a bathroom in it and I would not recommend it to anyone.

This old girl looks like she needs a wash and set! The location is good for the convention center, but hallways were dirty with carpet stains. Our room was very small in the “historic” wing of the hotel. Would work for a single, but really tight for a couple. The staff was helpful with finding parking.

Room was older but clean! Great location for the Big Sur Race as bus pick up was just a walk out our door and expo walking distance. Great food all around the hotel and they had a great coffee bar in the mornings and Water containers outside of rooms which was great ! Windows opened up and we had a fan.. never got too hot! Will stay again for sure !

THEY GAVE ME A KEY TO AN ALREADY OCCUPIED ROOM.

My partner and I checked in around 9pm and the receptionist gave us a key to our room. I went to the room and unlocked the door and opened it to a woman in the midst of changing.

We were both shocked! The receptionist was sorry for this mistake and gave me an \"upgrade\" room. (Upgrade is in quotes because the bed and the room still looked like the same size.)

I just felt uneasy during my stay because if I could accidentally walk into someone's occupied room, someone can do that to me as well...

It was a nice hotel within a short drive to Cannery Row and within walking distance to fisherman's wharf. Cute street, friendly staff. Parking was easy and right down the street. You pay $8/day with in/out entry privileges. You don't have to pay parking from 6pm to 9 am. The coffee was very good!! This is an older hotel but with lots of character. Great downtown location.

Was originally put in “historic” side of hotel that had horrible carpets that held a smell. When asked to change rooms the desk put me in another room same side same problem. So after returning to the desk and only asking if there was a room that was updated did she offer to put me in the New/modern side of the hotel. Serious upgrade. Why she didn’t offer in the first place is beyond me. Don’t stay in “historic” rooms & make sure to ask for when booking.

Parking is off property, only have valet on weekends, historic rooms are smaller than normal rooms, toilet was weird sounded like it was air injected. Sink faucet was low pressures, shower was hard to go from faucet to shower. Older walls and ceiling heard everything above and outside intend hall way., sounding like a wooden dance hall above our room. Other than those things the stay was okay, I would stay again in another part of the hotel. Lil pricey for standard historic rooms.

This is a historic hotel but was clean and provided everything we needed. Economical for the area, within walking distances of several good restaurants and retail. Staff was responsive to our needs. Valet parking was convenient. Would stay again.
