Monterey Hotels

This place is amazing. Although ostensibly it doesn't look over the top, it is a quietly classy place. Our receptionist, Tiana, helped us throughout our stay and she is the sweetest and most accommodating representative (although everyone we met just went over the top, from the concierge to the bellhops to Ryan the cars concierge). The rooms are huge. They easily fit all of the stuff for our 8 month old with tons of room to spare. His packnplay was no issue at all. Everything is very clean and it was quiet and relaxing. We ordered room service , and it was pricey as expected, but the food was DELICIOUS! I doubt we would have found better food elsewhere - the crab cake Eggs Benny was delicious! We checked out and had our car brought around (valet parking is surprisingly included in the resort fee) and Ryan, our car concierge , told us if sightseeing (we were headed to the aquarium), to feel free to leave the car there, no problem, till 5. That was really nice and we did not have to worry about parking. Overall this is right on the end of cannery row and is apparently about a 10 minute walk from Fisherman's Wharf as well (we didn't have a chance to get down there). You can't beat the location, the customer service, or the amenities here. We would only stay here when coming back. Thank you!!

Nothing!

Geat ocean view , nice evening music , the staff was helpful , we love the restaurant , we love the valet parking . and the price of the room includes it

The price of the ocean view rooms is very expensive , and it doesn't include the breakfast

The hotel was fantastic. The view from the forth floor spa was outstanding. The hotel is located just off cannery row to be quiet and comfortable, but we'll witching walking distance to all attractions.

They need a restruant or step up breakfast.

Location, nice room, great staff

Mandatory $10 fee for a five year old to get a $2 crummy breakfast -we ended up paying for a breakfast at the Monterey Inn down the street instead. The place needs a power washing! Gull excrement all over the place and not enough nets to prevent them from hanging out to poop

Fantastic room for the money. It was a quick walk to restaurants and the pier. I would definitely stay here again.

Location was great. Within walking distance of "downtown" Monterey. Made it easy for me to walk to grab a bite to eat. Ample parking. Room was spacious. Free WiFi was a nice touch.

The building and decor were both so dated. The building screams 70s, and the decor was pretty much bad. The rooms were also pretty dark, and the window screens weren't secure, so I couldn't open the window to get fresh air without worrying about letting moths in. The lighting was a weird contrast between incandescent and green LED lights. While I applaud the use of greener light sources, the contrast was harsh on the eyes. My biggest complaint, however, was the visible debris on the bathroom vent/fan. There were thick deposits of grey lint (maybe mold) on the fan. As someone with allergies, it just kind of pissed me off. There were also cobwebs on the bathroom light, which could easily have been sealed off with a cover. WiFi reception was spotty at best.

I liked the overall comfort of the hotel.

I did not like the service. I asked for a bellhop to help take my bags to the car. I waited for about 25 minutes and decided to take the bags myself.

The guest rooms are large and nicely appointed. The bed is comfortable. Breakfast is very nice in Jacks restaurant. The entire staff is quite accommodating. We've stayed here many times in the past and will continue to stay here.

Our room was in a noisy location--on the second floor overlooking an open area where people walked, sat, rode bikes, played music and generally enjoyed the outdoors. The windows were not double-paned and the room was noisier than we would have liked. The bathroom was remodled with a lovely marble countertop--unfortunately it was rather tall for me to use (I'm a 4'11" woman.)

All good

All modern amenities

Rooms are a little small, but adequate

The room was spacious, clean, and recently renovated. Everything was well-kept and in good condition, we thought it was delightful. Excellent value for the price.

The pool is an oversized bathtub and breakfast was minimal.

Good value for basic accommodations..

I did not realize that i.t was in the flight path of the airport

Everyone from the front desk staff, the servers and bartenders, and the housekeepers did an amazing job. I work in the service industry in a casino/resort, and yet I experienced better service and a better experience with the staff at the Hyatt than where I work. A+++.

The only things I didn't like had nothing to do with the hotel and its staff. It isn't located downtown, so it is a very short trek to the festivities in town. Also, it sounded like a large man was doing burpees in the room above us.

We enjoyed the recently updated rooms including the very nice bathroom with vanity and open shower. We enjoyed very tasty room service meals (dinner and breakfast). We also used the pool which was pleasantly warm.

The toilet was a bit of a tight fit with walls on either side. The air conditioner was a standing machine which had an exhaust that was separated form the back and until we reattached it poured hot exhaust over the air-conditioning.

Hotel is very loud, walls are paper thin and they do not care if kids are running the halls. We asked to be moved to a different room and were told that they were sold out. Front desk rep said he would refund our money and then said that he would not show us any proof of the refund. We left and I will fight this charge with my credit card company.

Excellent room layout.

Maybe at most the employees were nice.

So first of I gotta say I hate giving reviews or surveys, so if I do it's because I was left with an impression...and I'm sad to say this was not a good one...I advise for you to spend a little bit more money for a better hotel. The place is near the fwy which could be convenient, but walking in you know probably not the best place...the room doors alone look like prison cells, you walk into the room and it smells horrible, our sheets were stained and looked nasty...the heater didn't work...even though I called and was promised someone would come look at it...but never showed up...the toilet made a horrible noise. If ur sensitive to sound not a good place to stay as you can hear the airplanes at every hour. The breakfast was sad...and they honestly shouldn't even advertise it. It looked dirty.

Beds are comfortable and clean

The location

It was no better than a holiday express, but much more expensive. Beds were miserably uncomfortable.

Nice rooms, and great restaurant attached to hotel with an extensive wine menu

I loved staying there and highly recommend anyone looking for an affordable and comfortable stay! I even forgot my shirt there and talked with Deborah who shipped my shirt back to me. Loved it!

Although the concrete hallways were rather stark, the rooms were comfortable and had everything we wanted. The rooms and bathroom were spacious, the bed was comfortable, showers hot, we didn't hear a lot of noise from adjacent rooms, and we had a nice view (3rd floor) out to the ocean. The omelets at the attached restaurant were fabulous - highly recommended! The hotel was minutes away (by car) from both Carmel and downtown Monterey - I would definitely stay there again. Great value for money. Helpful and friendly staff too.

Stains on the carpet in the hallways.

I liked the cleanliness and the feel like home of the place. I also enjoyed dining in the fine restaurant the hotel provides. The personnel was was polite and very accommodating. The proximity to to everything in the city was very much appreciated.

Staff was so nice. we told them we were in Monterey to celebrate the bf's bday and they were nice enough to upgrade our room and send over a bottle of champagne for free :). It really made our trip special. The staff at the spa were great too, pretty much left us to do as we wished

The food at Ernesto's (restaurant located in hotel) was a bit overpriced. Food was still good

Nothing

Everything, rude rude rude manager and very dirty and daited, maids were super loud , never stay there again. Worst place we've ever stayed at. I can't believe there are decent reviews of this dump!!!!!!

Clean, sizable. Good location for quick access to downtown Monterey, Carmel-by-the-sea, Big Sur, etc. The internet was surprisingly fast, and free! The microwave and fridge were also quite convenient.

Noise was the biggest issue: the ceilings creaked a lot every time the people above us moved around. It felt like we could hear everything they were doing. If you're thinking about staying here, definitely try and get a 2nd-floor room. Since our room was very near a busy street, we also heard a lot of noise from traffic and passing cars.

I loved the promptness of front desk to my every request.

Having a sauna & fireplace in our room! Help and friendliness of the staff

The bathroom was cleaned good enough when we returned from an outing.

Nice quiet little spot good price for the room

Parking spots for the room we got were off by like 4 cars would of loved to park right in front of our room but sombody else got the spot

The room was very clean and fresh, very high standards for a motel

Great staff

management friendly and helpful.

Had problem with new key system. Door would not stay shut and locked from outside, only when inside. Reported to management, but was not fixed in the two day we were there.

The hotel had an excellent location only a short walk from Monterey Bay and the wharf. Although a bit shabby, the hotel has a charming feel. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Both the room and bathroom were uncomfortably small. Other than the bed, there was only one small uncomfortable wooden chair to sit on. No microwave or refrigerator was provided. The worst problem was the noise, both day and night, which made it impossible to get a good night's sleep. Between the trash trucks, the squawking sea gulls, the late night party goers, and street construction peace was not to be had. And, because the room was not air conditioned, the windows could not be closed.

Location was a block away from the wharf with restaurants and shopping nearby everywhere. Hotel was beautiful with historic architecture and vintage furniture

Walls were thin and you could hear your neighbors' movements

We often stay in Monterey and we very much like this place. It's location is great if you don't mind walking a little, and the rooms are nice, clean and well-equipped.

The amenities are small -- workout room, pool, etc... but when in Monterey there isn't a reason to stay at the hotel anyway. During peak season, the rooms are a little pricey here

Modern room update. Extra sink/ mirror outside of bathroom which is always useful. Very clean. Comfortable bed and bedding. Fireplace which would be lovely in cool weather. Centrally located. The safe in our room would not open and my things were in it. The hotel staff could not fix it although the maintenance guy was able to get it open. The manager gave us a voucher for the restaurant which was appreciated.

Small room size. No air conditioning which I realize they don't need very often, but it was quite warm when we were there.

Our shower didn't drain properly and after several calls and waiting it was never resolved.

turn out i was issue a room which smell dog, clerk seeing that I didn't have a pet or even ask if i had one issue me one, When we checked in we where surprised with a 15.00 a day parking charge. When checking out I had told the same receptionist about dog smell and noisy traffic side of the room, he apologized and remove one of the 15.00 parking fee. Did question him if he new I didn't have a pet why did he issue me a room for who have pets

Located within walking distance to waterfront.

Smal bed, not very clean, overpriced

Had my credit card number stolen after booking online. Was turned away while trying to check in. Only had the defunct card so they demanded $250.00 cash deposit. Still ended up paying for the room on my shredded Visa. What's in your wallet?

Very roomy, clean and close to fisherman's wharf. Walking distance to several restaurants.

It was pretty spacious and the front desk girl was really nice.

Room wasn't the cleanest, and the walls were really thin, you could hear everything going on next door.

from the outside, it looks like a motel. But the rooms are very good quality "Hotel style".

Very friendly and helpful staff. Short walk to the downtown area. Right across from a beautiful pond. the attached restaurant was great.

we stayed on the top floor and the outside hallway was just bare wood. looked terrible but could not tell if it was under construction as it didn't look like anyone was working on it.

Basic breakfast, but fresh and quite good. Room was comfortable, but simply equipped. Close to shopping center.

No fridge and microwave in the room. Close to main street so a bit noisy. Far from Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf (long walk so need a car to go to restaurants and pubs)

The rooms were very cozy and welcoming. Staff was very friendly

Clean, quiet

Too expensive, food was great, just needed more variety.

Yes, it's an older property, but it was still a very comfortable stay & it's located near lots of stores & scenic places.

Nothing, really.

The valet was super nice and helpful. The young woman checking me in was friendly as well.

I was happy with my stay

Not able to park my own car

Bed was comfortable, room was fairly nice for the price. Location is good.

There was a loud noise coming from the wall, I'm not sure if it was the neighboring room, or if it was something else, but it was a loud buzzing for about 30 minutes at a time, and it happened 3 times over the course of one night. There was also a large window at the back of the room with no curtains, and a very bright light was on all night on the other side of it. I had to roll onto my side and face away from that wall with a pillow over my head in order to sleep. The parking was terrible outside my room as well. It was on a steep hill, and there wasn't enough room to back out and turn around. I had to back all the way down the hill and into an empty space just so I could leave. The complimentary breakfast was some prepackaged cinnamon rolls and toast, and the orange juice machine only had water in it.

Nice cozy for adorable pricing

Nice cozy for adorable pricing

Staff was very helpful They allowed us to check out 24 hours early. made a new key for us at 1 am. Close to water and Cannery Row. Beds were comfortable. Free parking.

Inn has become run down looking. There were no complimentary beverages in lobby such as tea, coffee or cocoa. Our room looked shabby. No pictures on the wall. We had problems with the TV one evening, could not get working till next day. Fireplace has it's flames sooo low you can not see them. We had stayed at the Inn about four times prior, and were disappointed. A new building was put up in front of hotel which completely blocks view.

The hotel was so close to the ocean and the hotel was so neat

I loved everything about it

Very large bathroom and decent sized room.

Pool was not heated.

Rooms were clean, great bathrooms, excellent location, wonderful experience.

I was in Monterey to run in Laguna Seca and the hotel is perfectly located, just 15 minutes from the track. Upon check-in, the staff was kind enough to give me directions to everything. The room itself was clean and comfortable, which is all I really ask for.

I had to leave one morning before 7 AM and I couldn't have breakfast. Starting a bit earlier would help some. The one day I did have breakfast, the eggs didn't look appetizing so I chose something else.

Very pleased overall

Near perfect...didn't like the pillows but my son loved em. Limited channel selection on tv

Clean, convenient, affordable, friendly, quiet.

It's no longer the Vagabond. It's the Munras Inn. That was pretty confusing! The free "breakfast" is not real. It's a 7-11 pastry, Sunny Delight (which is a soft drink), and a piece of fruit.
