Hotel Monterey

The hotel was beautiful! Right at the middle of downtown Monterey bay. We loved how we were surrounded by so many food choices within a walking radius! The room we stayed at was also nice. It was a historic room, so seeing the whole setup of it alongside the design of the furniture, fireplace and even picture frames of certain historical pieces, were a really awesome touch! I do suggest, if you do decide to go, park at the parking structure on the same street that is right across the hotel. It is $8 per day from 9AM-6PM then after 6 PM, parking is free. This. Was. A. Game. Changer. As I didn’t want to pay $30 parking for valet at the hotel, their only option, per day. Overall, I would recommend staying at this hotel and I’d definitely consider coming back!

Dated property with paperthin walls - Not worth it

While the hotel looked charming in photos, the reality was disappointing. The property feels run down and dated, lacking the appealing character that can sometimes come with historic buildings. The rooms appear to have gone without updates for decades, giving off a neglected rather than vintage atmosphere. The biggest issue was the complete lack of privacy due to paper-thin walls. We could hear every detail from neighboring rooms, and at 7 AM, fellow guests' conversations were as clear as if they were in our room. To make matters worse, cleaning staff began vacuuming adjacent rooms at 8 AM, making any chance of rest impossible. On a positive note, the front desk staff, particularly one helpful employee, provided friendly service. However, this couldn't make up for the substandard accommodations and poor sound insulation. This hotel needs significant renovations to meet basic comfort expectations.

Nice, older hotel but a few issues during our 3 night stay. The hotel has thin walls, and it wasn't anywhere near full, yet the staff booked other guests in the room next to ours and above ours every night. Lots of noise. We could not access Wifi when we checked in. After notifying the staff, we heard nothing back and never got access in the hotel. A good place but the staff needs to be more proactive given the age of facilities.

Nice quiet stay at the Monterey

As a "historical" hotel, you never know what you're going to get in regards to the abilities of the building, but I had no issues in terms of water temp/pressure/etc. The room temp was good, and the hotel was very quiet. The carpets are a bit worn but they are clean, so not an issue. And the location was perfect; easily walked to everything I wanted to see, and plenty of good food options nearby.
