FAQs about hotels in Monterey









A Wild Coastline and Even Wilder Sealife

Known for beautifully undulating coastline attracting a wealth of wildlife, laidback Monterey is set on a small peninsula. Though now more famous for Monterey Jack cheese, it was once an important sardine fishing town. Some ex-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 centre of the town is rather tacky & expensive but the National Park at Point Lobos is lovely, as is the coastal drive (or cycle) to Carmel. The Aquarium was somewhat disappointing and very overpriced inside. The small Art museum is worth a short visit. The dedicated, car free trail for pedestrians and cyclists is a nice idea.

    Monterey is a great place to spend a few days. There is a lot to see and once you learn the one ways streets it is easy to get around. The wharf is fine, Cannery row is a tourist spot but it is fun and the aquarium is great. Food is very good in Monterey and Carmel.

    Cannery Row is a bit of a tourist trap, but if you head away from the beach you quickly access the restaurants of Lighthouse Avenue, including Hula - Hawaian food. If I had my time again, I would have tried to stay nearer to the Acquariam, even as far west as Pacific Grove (technically the next town along), near the delights of Happy Girl Kitchen.

    I love the ocean.

    I love the ocean. There are just so many great little beaches to visit. Monterey has so much Sea life too. We saw harbor seals, otters, elephant seals, too late for the Monarch Butterflys, tons of birds, just from the walking paths! We actually walked from Monterey to Pacific Grove. There are also loads of shops, and restaurants.

    My trip to Monterey Bay was amazing, due to how beautiful the scenery was and how close everything was to were I stayed. The Wave Street In was a great hotel to stay in because the aquarium and many restaurants are so close to it you can walk everywhere and not worry about parking. The hotel was also great as everything was clean and the staff was very helpful.

    The motel has been refurbished recently and the rooms were fresh, clean and comfortable. Although the rooms at the front of the property on the main road may have been a bit noisy we had a room upstairs at the back and it was very easy to sleep. Reception staff were all helpful and friendly, especially Naomi. The hotel is located not far from Cannery Row and the Wharf and it was easy to find parking downtown. Safeway supermarket is just a couple of minutes away which is a bonus.

    The hotel is well situated, just walking distance away from Monterey's Cannery Row. Our room was comfortable and spacious, with the added charm of a working gas fireplace. What's more, the hotel offers a generous breakfast and a wine-tasting happy hour. What's there not to like? Just note that off-the-street garage parking is extra. Also, if you are looking for a nearby restaurant, I would strongly recommend The Sardine Factory, which serves excellent seafood.

    This hotel was really nice. I had a room with vaulted ceilings, a balcony, and a fireplace. The location was central to the popular fisherman's wharf and the old cannery row/monterey aquarium. For the money, this place can't be beat. It's an excellent value all around. I did all sightseeing on foot and by rented bike, so if you like to park and not deal with driving this hotel is a good choice for you. I'd stay here again for sure.

    Conveniently located right near the pier and in the heart of charming downtown. The beds are comfortable and nice and firm, which has been hard to find in many hotels I’ve tried in Monterey where the beds are too soft. The room was well appointed, clean and modern with good amenities. — and a great value. I’ve started at more expensive hotels, such as the Clement or Portola. And the Marriott has them beat bed-wide.

    Beautiful setting right on the Monterey Bay. Gorgeous views from our ocean view rooms, the sound of crashing waves under the property all day long, marine life nature sounds, one of the most relaxing hotels I’ve ever been to! Restaurant location and quality was amazing too! Nice lounge and bar area to get together with family in the evening. Great central location for excursions around the area, very walkable.
