The Monterey Hotel

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good
"This is an old classic hotel and as such has its charm and a fantastic location. However, it could need some freshening up. The floor carpets are unpleasant looking and there is no AC. Monterey weather allows for keeping windows open, the local seagulls do not. I did appreciate them allowing dogs though."

10/10 Excellent
"Checked in on a Tuesday night. Very easy check in. Room was clean and big. Bigger than other motel/hotels in Monterey that I've stayed at. Didn't need to use the AC or heater so can't comment on those. Room was quiet at night. Out of my 5 night stay there was only one night where I had to park my car on the street. Otherwise parking was fine. Staff was very friendly. Housekeeping forgot to replenish the coffee and cups one day so I went to the office and they gave me what I needed. No problem. Overall I was very pleased with my stay. I would stay here again!"
