The Monterey Hotel

Location terrific, better than expected. Large room

The hotel was in a great location and very interesting due to the historical nature. We were offered a very affordable upgrade to a historical suite which we took, and it was really cool seeing the way the hotels used to be built and all the history; the floors were uneven due to the hotel shifting over time, the fireplace had the original marble mantle, the bathroom sink had neat sideways taps, etc. It was a beautiful exterior, walkable in downtown, and dog friendly.

The location was good and the receptionist was very good.

Awesome location. The hotel has character being an older building but it can be quirky if you are expecting a resort style visit. Being downtown it is a little walk to get to Cannery Row. But the walk is nice and doable.

The location an staff were good.

Tuve una experiencia fantástica en "The Monterey Hotel". Desde el primer momento, el personal fue increíblemente eficiente, amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar, haciendo que toda la estancia fuera perfecta.

Las habitaciones son muy bonitas, cómodas y acogedoras, con un ambiente que invita al descanso. Uno de los aspectos más especiales del hotel es su área terapéutica privada en el sótano, que cuenta con un jacuzzi ideal para relajarse después de un día explorando la ciudad. Es un detalle que realmente marca la diferencia y aporta una experiencia de bienestar excepcional.

La ubicación en la calle Alvarado es excelente, con muchísimos restaurantes, cafeterías y opciones para comer a pocos pasos. Todo está muy accesible, lo que hace que la estancia sea aún más cómoda y agradable.

Además, el hotel transmite una gran sensación de seguridad tanto dentro de las instalaciones como en los alrededores, permitiendo disfrutar de la visita con total tranquilidad.

Otro punto destacado es su encanto histórico. Quienes disfrutan de los hoteles con carácter, historia y personalidad encontrarán aquí una experiencia muy especial. El edificio conserva ese ambiente clásico y auténtico que te transporta a otra época, combinado con las comodidades necesarias para una estancia confortable.

En conjunto, este es un hotel de primer nivel: excelente servicio, habitaciones encantadoras, una fantástica zona de relajación, una ubicación inmejorable y un valioso legado histórico. Sin duda, volveré y lo recomiendo al 100 % a cualquiera que visite Monterey. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a truly exceptional stay at The Monterey Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were remarkably efficient, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction made my visit seamless and enjoyable.

The rooms are beautifully appointed, comfortable, and impeccably maintained, providing a warm and relaxing atmosphere.

Breakfast was not offered. Hotel was clean. Bed comfortable. Staff was terrific. Location was perfect.

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 to avoid waking my family. While I was sitting quietly, 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.

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

We ran into this hotel by chance & I’m so happy we got to experience this beauty! The building was clean with necessities. I love the charm & history of that era. All of the Employees were helpful & kind.
