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.

    Great location, lots to visit, has something for everyone. From Dennis the Menace playground fro kids to kayaking for the outdoorsy types to galleries and historical strolls for the culture-hungry. Don't forget to visit Carmel via 17 mile drive. Make a day of it!

    The 17-mile drive was beautiful, time it to make sure you are not going too late or the fog rolls in and you cannot see much. The aquarium was okay, for the price ($65 pp) I was expecting more. It's great for families with kids and there are more kid friendly areas there than other aquariums I have seen. Don't skip the drive to Big Sur, you can still go into Big Sur and the drive was beautiful and the trees are amazing. Cannery Row is very touristy, however there is a lot a historical information sprinkled throughout and makes for interesting reading.

    my favorite was many things, like Cannery Row has plenty of shops and food items to choose from. Fisherman's Wharf has the best restaurants we loved Sapporo's. Finding parking spaces was a little challenging.

    Can see local sites in one day- did Fishermans wharf- 17 mile drive- Carmel- cannery row-if you’re into shopping it’s fine- we enjoyed all the views of the ocean the most! Free trolley available to shuffle between areas- parking is expensive depending where you park but that’s expected at the beach.drive along coast- you can find free parking towards area attractions have to pay

    Monterey has a really nice vibe, quite relaxed and upmarket.

    Monterey has a really nice vibe, quite relaxed and upmarket. It's on the chilly side for some, not quite breaking 20C in our July visit, but still pleasant. Whale watching is a must do (we used Princess Whale Watching). We really enjoyed the many breweries and wine tastings available. There are some good restaurants downtown (Rosine's was my fave). The Aquarium was quite disappointing - very expensive with small enclosures for the otters and penguins. Also way too crowded. Also a good base to visit Carmel-by-the-sea and drive a little of the PCH to Big Sur.

    Monterey is beautiful city worth the visit.

    Monterey is beautiful city worth the visit. I would recommend staying couple days to have time to see and do more. I live in bay area so it is along drive and traffic is very bad going to Monterey and also on way back . We did eat at Esteban restaurant at casa munras hotel very good food and service. Lot 9f traffic in Monterey even on weekday. We managed to get around by walking to local coffee shop and restaurants

    We used Monterey as a "base" to explore the Highway No. 1 as we couldn't drive all along because of the blockage of the road. So we stayed here for two nights and found the hotel to be very nice and welcoming, perfect spot to start the journey along the coast. We didn't visit any attractions in Monterey itself as the fantastic vistas along the coast were the thing we wanted to see.

    What a fantastic location! Right on the end of Cannery Row we could walk everywhere we wanted to: boat tours, aquarium, restaurants. The hotel is very grand, well kept, plenty of facilities including a gym and spa, and the views from the plaza are gorgeous. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
