The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"The place is funky, and in a nostalgic way. The building itself is ideally located in downtown Old Monterey, steps from the historic adobes, near the wharf, in the midst of the weekly farmer’s market. The building reminds me of Europe, odd staircases, non functional elevators, no parking, this place could be really chic. New beds would be a great start. My room was very clean and a sweet maid was on duty throughout my stay. My windows opened, but without a breeze, there was a ceiling fan, no A/C. This is the heart of Monterey and surrounded by exceptional restaurants. I would highly recommend Alejandro’s, fine Mexican just up the street. Cafe Fina on the wharf for the freshest of seafood with a window on the local otters. I would stay there again. Fingers crossed for a better, quieter bed."

Spyglass Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff , great customer service ."
