I had a great visit to Monterey, CA. The weather was incredible and being close to Monterey Bay was so nice. I enjoyed my stay at the Monterey Hotel. The staff was very nice and it is within walking distance of Fisherman’s Wharf and the walking path up and down the bay. The hotel was built many years ago and is positioned to catch the nice breeze that Monterey Bay offers. Great food and beautiful scenery all around.

A unique hotel for a night stay in a quaint seaside harbor City. With interest and realistic historical rooms for a seaside city. Ensure the weather is in the chiller side if you are used to modern hotel rooms. Lots of shops and things to do in the area and very nice and friendly hotel staff.

The ‘historical’ side of the hotel is very basic, and the carpets may be original: old and stained. Location is fantastic, hotel less so.
