Wave Street Inn

New Monterey

10/10 Excellent

We love Wave Street Inn! So close to Cannery Row. The room was comfortable and clean. I usually find something wrong about a place but not here. Plenty of towels, very clean shower, comfy bedding. There’s a couple of fire pits they light on the second floor and plenty of chairs to hang out. Just so very pleased all around.*Please note: they do charge a parking fee for each day of your stay but you know what? You’d be paying to park in a garage or lot anyways. This isn’t any more than that. Plus...

Merritt House Hotel

Old Monterey

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed our stay-cation here over New Years. We live in the area but have always wanted to stay at Merrit House. It is adorable on the outside and our room was as well. There was a wood burning fireplace in the room and we were offered wood if we were interested in using it. The bathroom had a modern updated look while the room itself held the charming look of older days. We were on the first floor with a walkout patio to the cute courtyard. The only thing we would have wanted different is...

Carmel Beach Hotel

Golden Rectangle

10/10 Excellent

We booked this to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The hotel upgraded us to an ocean view at no charge. It was quiet and we could hear the ocean waves at night. There were e-bikes to rent which was great- the first hour was free. Breakfast was served to our room at the time we requested and a nightly turn down service with a cookie was an added bonus. The fitness room had a good amount of weights and the location of the hotel was so close to the ocean. I would definitely go back! Loved it!

Great walkable location. Quiet clean rooms. And most important honest staff with amazing integrity!! One person in our group lost $150 out of her pocket without realizing it. We returned from supper and the amazing evening staff person flagged her down and returned the cash. I am awed and humbled by the character demonstrated by this act of kindness. Just can’t say enough good things! We have stayed here several times and it’s always a great experience.
