There is so much to like. The staff are consummate professionals, so friendly and welcoming. The room exceeded my expectations (and I can be hard to please). The ocean view is spectacular… breathtaking. I would recommend staying in one the rooms facing the ocean. It is a wonderful hotel.

FAQs about hotels in Monterey

A Wild Coastline and Even Wilder Sealife

Known for beautifully undulating coastline attracting a wealth of wildlife, laid-back Monterey is on a small peninsula. Though now more famous for Monterey Jack cheese, it was once an important sardine fishing town. Some former canning factories now house galleries and shops on a street renamed Cannery Row after a novel by John Steinbeck. A museum and his former home in nearby Salinas can be visited.

The fantastic Monterey Bay Aquarium houses a fascinating range of local sealife, which is so prevalent here that you can often see seals basking on craggy beaches, or sea lions roaring away under piers in Fisherman’s Wharf. Whalewatching tours also depart from here.

South is the Monterey State Historic Park, site of historic buildings including Custom House and the Old Whaling Station with a path made from whalebone. To the east are a couple of Monterey hotels on the beach on Booking.com, and there are also several Monterey hotels with indoor pools.

Right by Monterey Peninsula Airport is one of the city’s 7 golf courses, and there are 3 golf courses near the Laguna Seca Raceway.

Whether you’re here for the Monterey Jazz Festival, or for driving the Big Sur Pacific coast road to the south, if you’re staying with kids, don’t forget to check out the Dennis the Menace Park.

    The coastal views are endless. I loved how walkable everything was. I also took a short bus to Carmel which is the nicest beach I have seen in the US. I missed out on the 17 mile scenic drive without having a car, but I will be back :)

    The Monterey Bay aquarium was top notch, not only with animals, but facilities and numerous volunteers. The area is beautiful and weather was fabulous. We had the absolute best clam chowder, so fresh. Plus we could watch the otters, seals and dolphins in the kelp beds from the window as we ate.

    The 17-mile drive was beautiful, time it to make sure you are not going too late or the fog rolls in and you cannot see much. The aquarium was okay, for the price ($65 pp) I was expecting more. It's great for families with kids and there are more kid friendly areas there than other aquariums I have seen. Don't skip the drive to Big Sur, you can still go into Big Sur and the drive was beautiful and the trees are amazing. Cannery Row is very touristy, however there is a lot a historical information sprinkled throughout and makes for interesting reading.

    my favorite was many things, like Cannery Row has plenty of shops and food items to choose from. Fisherman's Wharf has the best restaurants we loved Sapporo's. Finding parking spaces was a little challenging.

    This hotel offered great value, and the staff was exceptionally friendly. Although we arrived late, they assisted us and allowed us to relax. They provide breakfast, but it is not extensive- only a selection of pastries, coffee, and tea. However, it's sufficient, especially since many hotels serve disappointing breakfast options. The location is good, just 5 to 10 minutes away from the center of Monterey and the highway.

    Nice quiet hotel, friendly staff and good location not too far from downtown Monterey. Beds were comfortable and the breakfast on offer was good but not great, typical of a Best Western. There aren't too many food options close by but we did find a Vietnamese place a few hundred meters up the road which did ok for our one night there.
