Great location next to the library and only a short 5 minute walk to the main street and down to the ocean. Lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Horrible place. The most rude, disrespectful and hate filled staff. Avoid this place. There's a reason for all of the reviews about the front desk people at this hotel. This is my first review of a hotel on this site. This is how bad the experience was.

This is a Motel not a hotel style! Room was clean and neat. Front desk staff: pm staff -can use some professional training to show more friendliness to customers and go an extra mile when possible; AM staff was great and helpful. Breakfast was poor - no meat options except gravy, boiled eggs, cereal, oatmeal, toasts, croissants and cream cheese and apples. I’ll give an overall 4/5 stars for a Motel Style.

Hi, I was attempting to get credit as I had to miss the date of my scheduled two-day stay. But the policy was to return to the third party (Hotel.com), and it was suggested to see if I could use the credit to stay another time. I did miss the deadline for canceling, so I am not asking for any sympathy. But things do come up, and changing the dates could be a bit more accommodating. I know you can change the date if you add an additional fee, but still. Next time I will pay attention to the cancel date, and hopefully nothing changes on my end after the date has passed. I had a personal matter to deal with.

I had a wonderful stay at the Colton Inn. It's a classic hotel with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home, even though I was traveling by myself. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made the experience even better.

The room was clean, comfortable, and had a cozy, home-like feel that made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. The location was another big plus—it's only about a 15-minute walk to the wharf, making it convenient without being right in the middle of the crowds.

If you're looking for a comfortable, charming place to stay with great service and an excellent location, I would definitely recommend the Colton Inn.

I was a little hesitant to book this hotel because the price was so good, but it turned out to be one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay fantastic.The free breakfast was solid waffles, bagels, cereal, and juice which was perfect for getting our day started. But what really blew me away was how incredibly comfortable the bed was. I slept better there than I have in a long time.
As someone visiting Monterey for the first time, the location was ideal right in the middle of everything we wanted to do. And the fact that parking is completely free was a huge bonus!
Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you’re looking for great value without sacrificing comfort or convenience. We’ll definitely be back!

We stayed a few days at Colton Inn and overall the stay was pleasant. The door could use a seal around it and maybe that would help dampen the noise from the walkway outside. The shower had lower pressure. The breakfast was a basic continental, nice to have a quick bite. All in all, a good property on a less noisy street that most other places. We would stay again.

The property itself was decent and the stay was fine. The room was spacious and clean enough. The breakfast is what other reviews say, but it worked well for my kiddo who loves toaster waffles and yogurt (more fruit would have been nice but the boiled eggs good). Parking spots are a bit tight if you have a large car. We also experienced hearing a manager being rude to the cleaning staff.

All that said, I probably wouldn't have bothered to leave a review because it was neither exceptional or terrible. The reason I am leaving a review is for those considering booking through Expedia... Don't do it. I believe this motel would be better off removing themselves from \"third party booking sites\" (which is what they will refer to Expedia as, even if they know it's Expedia). They absolutely refused to answer any questions I had before the stay, nor would they work with me to try and pick new dates when I had an emergency come up. I was able to make the stay work because I didn't want to be out the money I had paid, but it was a very upsetting experience. After a few messages back and forth, I received an email telling me that I was \"not respecting the staff\" by trying to get information, when I was unclear between Expedia and the hotel how to get help.

Their pettiness around staying via Expedia extends to use of the fireplaces in the room as well (photos attached). Stay at your own risk if you don't mind being treated poorly and/or with condescension by staff.

Although on Saturday 5/23 after a long day at CaliRoots my room key demagnetized and couldn’t get into my room. We called the overnight manager in hopes to help us with the issue was not happy that we woke her up. She had us meet her at the lobby office. Snatched my ID aggressively and told us next time to keep the key away from our phones and credit cards. I told her that her attitude was completely unacceptable. Not once did she apologize. We spent a lot of our hard earned money into this weekend and to be talked to like we were children was unacceptable. It was an honest mistake on our part but her behavior was completely unacceptable and disgusting.

I didn’t even get a chance to stay in this hotel. I had a reservation for 4, but had a 5th person with me when I arrived. The 5th person was not staying with us. The lady asked me twice how many people were staying, and I said “4”. Instead of asking about the 5th person, she waited until we left, then contacted Expedia and had them reach out to me to cancel the reservation.

Making assumptions is never good. This place will never get my business, and I will never recommend it to anybody I know.

This is my second time staying at the Colton Inn on a visit to Monterey. For me, it was important that it's located close to the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, but it's also within walking distance of lots of downtown/Old Monterey locations, including a drug store, Trader Joe's, cafes and restaurants, and the water front. Staff are always extremely helpful, I enjoy the breakfast (love that they have hard boiled eggs!), and always have a great stay here.

There is no air conditioning and the heater was a small, plug-in, portable space heater. The walls and ceiling were thin. We were placed next to a maintenance or laundry room and were woken very early by machinery. Breakfast was adequate but consisted of frozen waffles, fruit, and dry cereal.
