Hotels near Lighthouse District, Monterey

"Friendly staff, solid location, decent WiFi and generally clean and has the basics down. Better for sightseeing than for those staying in, I think. Quick things to note: they don't allow late checkouts, just fyi, but otherwise you just drop your keys in a box to check out. The vending machines are also located in an open area, which is nice for when I visited but could become an issue if it's raining... The balconies are really nice, and the location is insanely convenient. It's about 10ish minutes to walk to the aquarium, and it's a block (or half, if you go out the back!) to the waterfront. There's solid food and sightseeing options here too. They do have a decent parking lot, but there's a ton you can see in Monterey by walking, and this hotel is perfect for a lot of those. What's missing here: a common dining area and breakfast, for one. Rooms aren't cramped but most furnishing is basic. Don't expect anything fancy, essentially. All that said, it's a solid choice if you're actually going out and sightseeing vs spending tons of time here. And if you do, they have some pretty nice patios and some rooms have balconies overlooking a trail."

"This is my third stay at this hotel. Before the pandemic, the hotel was very clean and the breakfast was great. Now it feels much worse. The sheets weren't changed and there was hair in them, so I had to use my own sheets and duvet cover. Because it was the weekend, the price was double the weekday price, and there was no breakfast. It wasn't good value for money, which was a bit disappointing. The room is large enough to open 2-3 suitcases at the same time. Free parking is a plus."

"Location on foot to Morro Rock. Booked room on the 3rd floor was very clean and tastefully furnished. Breakfast was sufficient and was prepared and taken care of a very friendly and charming staffer (Shelbi). The hotel is a perfect recommendation for this hotel. We will stay here anytime."

"Great location! I had a conference at the Monterey Conference which is less than a 3 min walk! Only thing was that there was no AC, I’m so used to assuming that hotels always have AC, but it was my bad for not checking ahead of time. I asked for a roll out bed, and they were able to provide that, depending on availability at no extra cost. Had a good stay! Quite historical hotel."

"The hotel is beautiful and in a good location. It is close to the beach, Cannery Row, and the aquarium, and can be reached on foot. The hotel has its own parking lot, which costs $19 per day. The free breakfast is quite rich, with fruits such as oranges, bananas, and strawberries. You can also make your own waffles, which is a good experience and tastes good. The room is relatively large, and there is a fireplace that can be lit and is very warm. You need to prepare your own toothpaste, toothbrush, and slippers."

"Great location (close to 17 Mile Drive and other scenic spots), spacious, clean and cozy rooms, family-friendly inn with sufficient parking spaces. Offering simple but nice complimentary breakfast. Excellent guest service before, during and after the stay. A special thank you note to the day and night staff who patiently assisted with the FedEx delivery arrangement for delivery of a lost item to another city. Would love to come back and stay again!"

"The scenery is nice, the climate is good, the hotel is OK, I will consider coming again when I have time."

"The room facilities can meet basic needs, but they are simple and the hygiene is only acceptable. There is no breakfast. The transportation is convenient and it is okay for a one-night stay during travel. There are many hotel options in Monterey and the price-performance ratio is good."

"We stayed at this hotel the day before the Monterey marathon event. The bed was big and comfortable. However, it was noisy because the walls were thin and the Monterey Airport is nearby. There are free coffee and apples and chocolate bars in the lobby!"

"Perfect location & reception staff were lovely, however the room could’ve been so much cleaner, hairs were found in the toilet, on the bathroom floor, on the floor of the bedroom & on the bedside tables. The rooms were super noisy- we could hear everything from the room above. The stay was fine for one night but any longer the cleanliness would have to be improved on. A shame as it could be an amazing place. "
