Hotel wax beautiful. Location not so much. Hotel close enough to canary row and acquarium though our room faced a busy street and the noise was annoying. There were blinds on high ceiling. the blinds didn’t really allow for darkness (we only realised that too late to bother changing rooms) luckily we were so tired we were able to sleep.

Pretty Darn Good!
It was a nice unique hotel. The staff was wonderful when you stepped into the hotel. It seemed like you were walking into the past of a great classic movie. I have never been welcomed and treated so well upon an arrival at the hotel. The room was quaint, attractive and comfortable. Though I did upgrade the room it was a little smaller than my expectations. I would definitely stay in the same room again did I mention that it was very clean. My wonderful girlfriend is very picky and does the house cleaner test, and it met her expectations. Which is very hard to meet. I was aware of the parking situation before arrival so I was ready for the valet parking. The hotel was very close to restaurants and shopping. Plus the wharf is a short walk away. I had to get my clam chowder in a bread bowl. Brought back great memories from long ago! I can’t wait to stay here again when we visit the area soon

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!

4/10 Fair

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 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.
