Top California's First Theatre Hotel Reviews

InterContinental the Clement Monterey by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast and dinner were both great. View was great."

Monterey Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent

"everything was wonderful and the view from our room was amazing as well Thank you!"

Cannery Row Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff at Cannery Row Inn was excellent; friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. However, for the price, I expected the property and rooms to be better maintained and furnished. I tend to notice maintenance details that the average guest may not immediately pick up on. We booked a partial ocean-view room, and the ocean view was definitely very partial. The balcony itself could have been a nice place to relax, but I noticed what appeared to be a significant amount of wood deterioration or possible termite damage. Because of these issues, I honestly didn’t feel very comfortable spending much time on the balcony with my family. Another issue was moisture inside the room. After walking around without shoes, I noticed the carpet felt surprisingly damp or wet. Given Monterey’s coastal environment, it seems like additional dehumidification or moisture control could make a noticeable difference. You can tell that efforts have been made to update some of the more immediately visible areas of the property, which I appreciate. However, addressing some of the underlying maintenance issues; moisture control, damaged exterior areas, and similar concerns would go a long way toward making the property feel worth the price. On the positive side, the location is very convenient for exploring Cannery Row, the nearby shops, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Being able to easily access everything in that area is definitely one of the property’s biggest advantages."

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"This old hotel is very charming and in an excellent location. Everything is good, except a mucky smell in the room. Don't know if it's due to the previous guest had a pet or the age of the house. Housekeeping very quickly brought a can of air freshener. That helped a bit."

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The room was well maintained and the staff was very helpful. We enjoyed our dinner at Esteban's and the onsite car charging was easy to use and convenient."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Portola is always the first choice to stay when I’m in Monterey. They have lovely ambience and the rooms are clean and staff is always nice. Also, they are so close to all the attractions."

Arbor Inn Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely my kids and I new favorite spots to stay while in Monterey! It’s also super close to most of the tourist attractions"

The Stevenson Monterey

8/10 Good

"Nice staff, perfect location, well priced"
