The owners and staff here are amazing! As a former local, this is my go to place. They are kind, accommodating, clean rooms and location is great. Walking distance to Trader Joe’s and shops, even the pier if you’re a walker. The people and cleanliness make the stay!
Great value spot with parking. Only stayed one night but the place was just what we needed. Cheap and convenient with clean, simple rooms. The beds were comfy too! Would def stay again!.
The room was great, clean and comfortable.
It was the people who were partying next room till 1:00 am, had to call the front desk to see if they could tell them to quiet down.
Had a great stay here. The staff was amazing and the rooms, although a bit outdated (except for newly remodeled bathrooms!) was very clean and comfortable. The area around the hotel was a little noisy and I could hear everything going on in the next room. Everything ....
The staff member that greeted us upon arrival was very friendly and courteous. There was always a parking space in the underground lot. Our room was clean, a bit outdated but it’s just a resting place. We will definitely stay there again. Exceptional location.
This hotel has become one of our regular choices. The rooms are clean and very comfortable, and the location is perfect—just a walk away from downtown Monterey. The receptionist was incredibly nice, which truly added to our overall experience.
Nice and clean and great location. Only issue is paper thin walls.

We stayed at the Stevenson for the Monterey Bay Half in 2025. It was perfect - walking distance to the race start, finish, and expo, and was clean, comfortable, and good value.

I love the location. This hotel is priced right. Not super fancy but if you’re just in the area for one night it’s perfect
