"I liked the valet service because it was such a unique experience not having to find parking in Monterey. I also liked the idea of walking over the street on the third floor skywalk to my room. I liked breathing in the fresh ocean air coming in through the windows of my room."

"The inn is just what our family needed for our travels- a clean place to sleep and shower! The in-room keurig and mini-fridge was helpful too. There’s nothing fancy about the rooms but they’re nice enough at a good price."

The Monterey Hotel

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good
"It is a historic building with lovely architectural features, high coved ceilings, cornices, carved wood hand rails, and leaded glass windows. It is 122 years old so it wasn't designed for modern tastes so be aware of that, floors and stairs creak. I found it was easier to access my room going up the original staircase than to use the elevator in the newer section and then wend my way back to the older section of the hotel. I definitely got my steps in! It's central location made it easy for me to walk everywhere I needed or wanted to go (I was there for a wedding!)"

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We really liked it here! It is very convenient to the Monterey aquarium and Cannery Row area. We were able to walk to restaurants for dinner. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very cute and clean. My only complaint is that the outside lights shined right inside the room because they only have shutters, not any kind of blackout curtains or shades, so the room never really got dark at night. Luckily, I always travel with an eye mask. Other than that, I thought it was a great place and I would definitely stay here again."
