Hotel Monterey
The hotel was beautiful! Right at the middle of downtown Monterey bay. We loved how we were surrounded by so many food choices within a walking radius! The room we stayed at was also nice. It was a historic room, so seeing the whole setup of it alongside the design of the furniture, fireplace and even picture frames of certain historical pieces, were a really awesome touch! I do suggest, if you do decide to go, park at the parking structure on the same street that is right across the hotel. It is $8 per day from 9AM-6PM then after 6 PM, parking is free. This. Was. A. Game. Changer. As I didn’t want to pay $30 parking for valet at the hotel, their only option, per day. Overall, I would recommend staying at this hotel and I’d definitely consider coming back!

4/10 Fair

Dated property with paperthin walls - Not worth it
While the hotel looked charming in photos, the reality was disappointing. The property feels run down and dated, lacking the appealing character that can sometimes come with historic buildings. The rooms appear to have gone without updates for decades, giving off a neglected rather than vintage atmosphere. The biggest issue was the complete lack of privacy due to paper-thin walls. We could hear every detail from neighboring rooms, and at 7 AM, fellow guests' conversations were as clear as if they were in our room. To make matters worse, cleaning staff began vacuuming adjacent rooms at 8 AM, making any chance of rest impossible. On a positive note, the front desk staff, particularly one helpful employee, provided friendly service. However, this couldn't make up for the substandard accommodations and poor sound insulation. This hotel needs significant renovations to meet basic comfort expectations.

Nice quiet stay at the Monterey
As a "historical" hotel, you never know what you're going to get in regards to the abilities of the building, but I had no issues in terms of water temp/pressure/etc. The room temp was good, and the hotel was very quiet. The carpets are a bit worn but they are clean, so not an issue. And the location was perfect; easily walked to everything I wanted to see, and plenty of good food options nearby.

Perfect for going to the Theater!
We were there for 2 nights for a show at the theater across the street. if you are going to the Golden State Theater, this hotel is perfect. I will note that the water pressure (3rd floor) is very week and the toilet plugged once. lastly, the WiFi sucked! That said, it was during the December storm that knocked out power to 10's of thousands so this may hve had an effect.

This is an older hotel, but the location is perfect. So easy to get around Monterey and enjoy the area. My only gripe was that the lighting was inconvenient. One light on ceiling that was super bright and two wall sconces that were no where near the bed. I would stay here again though.
