First of all, it was our first time in this hotel and we stayed with our family. The front desk night and morning shift staff were friendly and professional. The hotel was clean and well-designed. O The room was good and the bed was comfortable! I didn't expect that the breakfast was gonna be amazing! You know hotel breakfast is usually bagels, jam, and coffee. However, they have a pancake machine, cold juice machine, fruits, omelets with cheese, hash browns, etc. It was so delicious! There is a complimentary coffee machine 24 hours in the lobby. Everything was amazing and thank you for your service!

My partner and I often reminisce about this stay! Such great value for money. The rooms were beautiful and spacious, with an incredibly comfy bed. The continental breakfast was a nice touch, and the location was perfect — just outside the hustle and bustle with stunning views. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming.

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 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.

    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.

    The hotel is just down the street from Cannery Row and an easy 15-20 walk to downtown Monterey. It is reasonably priced compared to anything else you're going to find at this location. I liked not having to worry about getting breakfast before going out for the day.
