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.

    Monterey is a great place to spend a few days.

    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.

    Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

    Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Pre-book tickets online to avoid the ticket lines. Get their map and event schedule and get to events about 15 minutes prior for best positioning. Parking and food is cheaper the farther away from aquarium you go.

    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.

    A perfect location for events at the Monterey Fairground! Right across from the festival we went to! Also a quick run or walk down to the Bay and bike/run/walk trail. An extra big plus: the front desk staff! The reception host was amazing and just a generally wonderful person! While the hotel/motel is not a five star spot by any means (it’s all about the convenient location), her hospitality and friendly vibe made our stay extra special and all the better!

    It’s nice to relax in this Monterey hotel. The receptionist was kind and welcoming. It’s a 15 minute downhill walk downtown or a 30 minute walk to the Fisherman’s Wharf along with Monterey’s beach oceanfront. You can ride the city transit to Pacific Grove & Carmel or drive if you want to visit Carmel Valley & Big Sur. The calm weather attracts tourists from all over the world so peak seasons tend to bring families, owners with pets, and visitors.

    The location is perfect, right next to the rec trail, cannery row and the sea. You can see wild otters, seals and sea lions within a few minutes walk of the hotel. The room was big with a good shower and huge, comfortable bed. It also had a coffee maker, fridge, and microwave. There is cutlery, plates, and hot drinks (including hot water) available in the reception area.

    We visited Monterey midweek for a quick getaway and the Arbor Inn provided great value along with a decent location relative to all the things to see and do in Monterey. It's a well-maintained older property on a street with many similar style hotels. The rooms are modern and the hotel was quiet during our stay. We'd stay again in the future.

    Well-maintained property with attractive landscaping and rooms. We enjoyed delicious tapas in the restaurant and use of the free bikes to ride the waterfront trail. Although not mentioned on the website, the room also had a mini-fridge. Lastly, from the hotel it’s a short walk to lots of dining in Old Monterey and Fishermans Wharf.

    Our room was very comfortable and spotless. It is conveniently close to the part of Monterey with the restaurants and activities. (It is not close enough to walk unless you are "younger" ) It was still very expensive since it was on a Saturday night but more reasonable than hotels closer to the water.
