Nothing about this place is worth a visit. It is extremely dirty; you would think it was abandoned. Carpet is moldy and stained. It’s a maze to get to your room. I killed a handful of bugs in a short time I was there. Spider webs on windows and corners. Bed had no integrity. Room is stuffy. Parking is trash. Run. Ended up leaving with no refund and booking Marriott across the street. It was so awful I didn’t even care how much Marriott was and that I was losing money on Monterey Hotel.

Hotel Monterey

Monterey Hotel is in a perfect location right near the Fisherman’s wharf, and on a Main Street. It is a very safe location. There’s two sides, the historic side and the more updated side. Unfortunately it was a full house and we were on the historic side which just could use a bit sprucing up. The room was clean and bathroom perfect, but the mattress needed to be replaced (a few years ago). We enjoyed our stay and would return here, just next time we will book in advance so that we can request the updated side.

Carpets all need to be cleaned. The whole hotel and the “historic” room I stayed in was run down. Not the charming old, but run-down old where the light fixtures are falling off the wall and the wall outlets cannot hold a plug in place. Old and run down fixtures as well.
Had to take see my laptop to hold the plug in place.

The hotel staff were very helpful and efficient. The room was lovely and comfortable. But we were not expecting how loud the area is - lots of yelling and laughing, etc. on the street well into the night. Maybe staying on a different side of the building would be helpful.

The room we were given was directly above the street, the backside to some businesses under us. Very Loud garbage trucks and delivery trucks in the wee hours of the morning, along with a steel plate in the road outside our room that sounded like gunfire every time a car crossed it. The saving grace was the pub Crown and Anchor one block away. The food was excellent along with the service and fair pricing
