FAQs about hotels in Monterey









A Wild Coastline and Even Wilder Sealife

Known for beautifully undulating coastline attracting a wealth of wildlife, laidback Monterey is set on a small peninsula. Though now more famous for Monterey Jack cheese, it was once an important sardine fishing town. Some ex-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.

    We went for Whale watching primarily. Worth it.

    We went for Whale watching primarily. Worth it. Brilliant, but swell from previous storm pretty bad, despite anti-sickness tablets. Local Hotels have brochure with 10$ discount p.p.! Town pricey and touristic, We joint daily local indoor pool for 20$ p.p. a day as part of continous prep for swim competition. 17 mile drive [=12$ per car], nice, but not essential, on rental bicycle might have been more fun. Just walking bit away from wharf towards peninsula, wildlife like otters, seals etc. Parking ticket for parking against traffic 48$ [just popped into nice French bakery].

    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.

    Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

    Visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Pre-book tickets online to avoid the ticket lines. Get their map and event schedule and get to events about 15 minutes prior for best positioning. Parking and food is cheaper the farther away from aquarium you go.

    Getting around Monterey is so easy!

    Getting around Monterey is so easy! For tourists, there are only a couple of main streets. Cannery Row is a great place to be—bicycle rides, some of the best burgers in town, and Starbucks. I love the old feel of Fisherman Wharf, with some of the best seafood in the county. I was thrilled with it all. I try to get down there a couple of times a year. It has excellent beaches!

    The aquarium is awesome.

    The aquarium is awesome. There are beautiful parks around the city great for walking or jogging. There are many different types of restaurants to choose from and conveniently located from motels. Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf are a great place for shopping.

    What a beautiful hotel! I chose this hotel for the location and I was not disappointed! Located on the water, in the heart of Monterey. We were easily able to walk around the town to fantastic restaurants, the aquarium and we enjoyed the beach right out in front of the hotel. Our room was not only comfortable but so cute with a great little bay window I enjoyed sitting in. And we loved the made to order breakfast that was delivered to our room each morning. I would highly recommend the Spindrift and look forward to staying again.

    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!

    Rooms were lovely. Huge king size beds with really comfy mattresses. Staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. There was a lovely garden area outback which was tended daily. Great breakfast and onsite parking was a real bonus for us too. Fantastic location to Fishermans Wharf & shopping areas and a leisurely stroll to Cannery Row and Monterey Aquarium

    Booked a suite which consisted of a main room with double and a side room with 2 x double beds for kids. Excellent sized room for price and ideal for families. Location is good for an overnight stop in Monterey and avoiding the expensive hotels in the centre. Staff are great and very friendly as well.
