We had a first floor single storey king room so easy access from the dedicated parking outside the room. Also patio chairs and table out of the patio doors with view of courtyard. Bed was comfy and shower was adequate. Although near highway we didn’t hear it and no sound from neighbouring room. Didn’t use the pool or hot tub but it was very clean and warm. Easy 15 minute walk into town for shops and restaurants. Area very clean and felt safe walking back at night. Ok value for money.

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.

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.

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.

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.
The Portola Inn is centrally located in Monterey very close to the water and the Pier. Hotel and Room were very clean, the staff was very professional and friendly. We had a comfortable stay and the parking was safe.
It is also possible to exit the Hotel into a car free zone, which is great when traveling with younger children.
We stayed during low season, so we received a good rate. During peak summer season, I would not be satisfied with the value for money.
A 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!
This is the second time my family and I have stayed at this establishment. It is a bare bones hotel, but the employees are nice and helpful. Even though it is an older property, everything was clean and in working condition. The beds were comfortable and the location was peaceful enough to get a good night's sleep. A large mall is within walking distance, so it is quite easy to find food quickly. Also, downtown Monterey is a 15 minute walk away.
This hotel was amazing!! It was very clean, the people at the front desk were very kind and helpful, and the location of this hotel was close to everything! Me and my fiancé went to Monterey for our anniversary and were planning on doing Cannery Row and the beaches, and this was by everything!! I highly recommend staying at this little hotel! Parking was pretty big, they have a back lot as well, the beds were very cozy and everything went very well!
This hotel was really nice. I had a room with vaulted ceilings, a balcony, and a fireplace. The location was central to the popular fisherman's wharf and the old cannery row/monterey aquarium. For the money, this place can't be beat. It's an excellent value all around. I did all sightseeing on foot and by rented bike, so if you like to park and not deal with driving this hotel is a good choice for you. I'd stay here again for sure.
Very 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,
Cannery Row Inn is ideally located to explore Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf and downtown Monterey.
It’s a lovely spot, we had a sea view, it had a balcony, nice space, and an electric log fire thing which was awesome.
There’s no safe, but it’s pretty secure.
The car park is good, you park anywhere and get a card for your window.
The team were super friendly.
FULL RECOMMEND FROM US
My wife and I loved the nice structure of this Motel, the large room and the services. It is located in a comfortable position to reach the most iconic places of Monterey, such as The Fisherman's Wharf, The Cannery Row, The Aquarium, Carmel-by-the-sea, 17-Mile Drive. Ideal if you are driving SF-LA and want to visit Monterey. Unfortunately we stayed only one night.
What a wonderful hotel! We especially like the welcome drink on arrival and it was a nice touch to meet the other guests. Lovely big room and the fireplace was very special. There was a travel cot (crib) waiting for us on arrival for our baby. Nice bathroom and facilities. Fantastic location right near Cannery Row.
We stayed here for the Monterey Jazz Festival. Every where else, even the hotels not within walking distance, increase their prices by 200 per night. This place did not. It is within walking distance of a great breakfast place. The room was clean AND the staff/owner incredibly kind.
Everything, beautiful location on the water on Cannery Row, exquisite rooms, wonderful staff, fantastic town. The air was fresh with Seaspray, the beds were unbelievably comfortable, I'm going to buy one of to he mattresses for home (Monterey Mattresses)
The hotel is on the beach! Easy access to the beach. Restaurant is open for breakfast and dinner. Bar has food available. Pet friendly! Room service, vending machines, pool and jacuzzi! The only place we stay in Monterey!
Very comfortable hotel with a pool and well positioned next to a diner and the Amtrak thru bus stop. Also near a few good restaurants and the trolley to get to Fisherman’s Wharf and Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Great location on the beach and cannery row. Close to 17-mile drive, great restaurants, and fisherman's wharf. In room sauna, although it took forever to heat up. I would prefer the in room soaking tub.
the location was perfect for sightseeing in Monterey. We were within walking distance to Fishermans Wharf and a quick drive to Cannery Row. The Hotel has a quaint charm about it and was very historic.
This is a basic but clean hotel. The price is very good considering how expensive hotels in Monterey are. Close proximity to the beach and the Pacific Coast Highway.
Nice place, not too far from sea and restaurants if you want to walk, cannery row etc is within reach by car. Was nice to see local market, the "other" Monterey.
The location was great, but the hotel is small and old and expensive for what you get. If I had it to do over, I would stay at the Monterey Plaza next door.
Stylish hotel - you will feel like being a part of Monterey immediately! Close to old Fisherman's Wharf, excellent starting point for a stroll through town.
