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.

    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.

    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.

    Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a fairly good selection of above-average offerings, which were as good or better than similar hotels on our trip. Good self-serve coffee machine in the lobby for outside breakfast hours. Bed was comfy and amenities clean. Plenty of on-site parking. Location is easy walking distance to downtown and harbour, for food, drinks and sights. This hotel complimented our fantastic time in Monterey.

    The location is awesome. Once you’re open your room’s door - you’re already in the Monterey downtown. It’s so joyful to walk in early morning along the ocean shore. We parked our car at the hotel parking earlier than our check in was, and enjoyed our visit to aquarium and good restaurants nearby. The facility is clean and updated, the breakfast is so decent. We’ll definitely come back to this hotel as guests!

    We only stayed for one night as we were on a driving tour and stopped in Monterey to go Whale watching. Casa Munras was recommended as a good comfortable hotel in a good location and it filled all of those things very well. There was a lovely looking bar area that we unfortunately did not get to try as we had dinner out on our only night there and it was closed by the time we got back.

    Amicable staff. We got a pack with edible goodies at the check-in. The room is OK, but the bathroom is too cold (we stayed during winter). Wlakable distance to Cannery RowUpon check-in, we were greeted by friendly staff and given a package of snacks. The room was satisfactory, but the bathroom felt too chilly during our winter stay. The hotel's distance from Cannery Row is walkable.

    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.
