FAQs about hotels in Monterey
A Wild Coastline and Even Wilder Sealife
Known for beautifully undulating coastline attracting a wealth of wildlife, laid-back Monterey is on a small peninsula. Though now more famous for Monterey Jack cheese, it was once an important sardine fishing town. Some former 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 was lovely, a great place to walk around and lots to see and do. We wish we had stayed longer. And it would also have been good to go to Carmel if we had stayed longer. The Dust Bowl brewery down near the harbour was great. (It's in between a main road and a car park so doesn't look brilliant from the outside but worth a visit!). The Fieldwork brewery on Munras Ave is also worth checking out, but only on a sunny day as it's outside seating only! The aquarium is supposed to be one of the best in the world but we were fairly underwhelmed.

The centre of the town is rather tacky & expensive but the National Park at Point Lobos is lovely, as is the coastal drive (or cycle) to Carmel. The Aquarium was somewhat disappointing and very overpriced inside. The small Art museum is worth a short visit. The dedicated, car free trail for pedestrians and cyclists is a nice idea.LucyIreland - 10Scored 10
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.JohnUnited States of America - 6.0Scored 6.0

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.

Two night, great location.
Two night, great location. Although hotel dated it is comfortable, spacious, cleal and all services were excellent. Centre of everything yet quiet. Can accommodate everyone. Lots of beaches, walks, great food & activities.
DympnaUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10
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.JoanUnited States of America

- From $433.83 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 2,501 reviewsWe enjoyed so much about our stay. We had one of the best views we could have asked for, the room was very chic and the hotel itself is gorgeous. The location is one of the best in downtown Monterey. I will be honest, when deciding on which hotel to book knowing this one is a pet friendly hotel I was worried about the condition our room would be in (smell and cleanliness) but if a dog had ever been in our room before we would never know it! The stay overall was fantastic.LeahUnited States of America
- From $159.59 per night8.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 1,293 reviewsA 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!
ElisaUnited States of America - From $150.40 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 1,770 reviewsVery clean hotel. Kind of in the middle of a tourist area, so no real feel of anything related to Monterey, Monterey Bay or Fisherman's Wharf, just a building in the middle of a tourist area. The room was very clean. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom area was very nice. There was a small fridge and microwave in the room -- both pluses. Very nice size for the room, and it was very quiet the night we stayed there,RandallUnited States of America
- From $372.19 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 999 reviewsThe location of the hotel, right on the water, is unbeatable. To wake up to the pink skies in the ocean and enjoy a coffee outside in the area between the hotel and the coffee shop was such a beautiful way to start the day (after a run along the coastline with stunning views). The staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the outdoor spa area and jacuzzis one afternoon as well.EmilieSweden
