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.
What a beautiful hotel! I chose this hotel for the location and I was not disappointed! Located on the water, in the heart of Monterey. We were easily able to walk around the town to fantastic restaurants, the aquarium and we enjoyed the beach right out in front of the hotel. Our room was not only comfortable but so cute with a great little bay window I enjoyed sitting in. And we loved the made to order breakfast that was delivered to our room each morning. I would highly recommend the Spindrift and look forward to staying again.
This hotel was spotlessly clean, modern in its decor, comfortable bed and fluffy towels, nice refrigerator and furniture, and walking distance to the Monterey Fair Grounds (where we were attending a festival). There is also a very nice restaurant (Monterey Cookhouse) and a CVS drug store both walking distance from the hotel. The proprietor was kind enough to allow us to check in early as the room was available. She was a very pleasant person who made us feel welcome.
Location is great, stunning views of the beach and sea ( definitely worth getting sea view room).
Perfect based for exploring monterey, carmel and surrounding areas.
Hotel was clean and lobby/bar/restaurant was pleasant and modern with beautiful views and fire place.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Welcome drink on arrival.
Was really worried about this booking as read alot of bad reviews the day before we arrived but we were happy with our stay.
Great ocean view in the lobby. Had a beautiful view of the ocean and you can stay warm while gazing directly at the ocean waves. Wonderful bar on that floor. We had our dinner served by the fire place in the lobby. Room was on the smaller side but nice. You can have a bonfire on the beach directly in front of the hotel, till late I might add, really fun. They sell wood at the hotel. Overall a fun place to stay and enjoy the ocean. Romantic vibe.
Beautiful setting right on the Monterey Bay. Gorgeous views from our ocean view rooms, the sound of crashing waves under the property all day long, marine life nature sounds, one of the most relaxing hotels I’ve ever been to!
Restaurant location and quality was amazing too! Nice lounge and bar area to get together with family in the evening. Great central location for excursions around the area, very walkable.
I chose the Portola Hotel & Spa based on its previous reviews and it did not disappoint. The location was within walking distance to pretty much everything. The rooms were clean and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. Also, Crepes of Britanny was so good that crepes and coffee from there alone was worth the stay! Also, its pet friendly and I like that. My family and I had a wonderful time there.
Location, location, location.
I flew into Monterey very early and went directly to the hotel. I asked the man at the reception desk if it was possible to get an early check in. He contacted housekeeper and within 30minutes I had a room. In the meantime he had offered coffee from their lobby stock which tasted delicious . They have a water cooler in the lobby as well.
The hotel is well located in Monterey, very close to the fisherman's wharf.
The room we stayed was spacious and very clean. Lots of plugs and charging points too.
The breakfast was good with large portions.
The lobby was well decorated for Christmas and NYE.
Would definitely stay again.
Very accommodating and friendly staff when we asked to check in early. Plenty of parking options and rooms were a good size for a couple of days in Monterey.
Can walk to Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row.
The room exceeded our expectations. It was spacious and clean, and the staff were super friendly. I would recommend this hotel, it has a great price and it is well located in between Monterey and Carmel.
We liked the fact Pacific Inn was pet friendly and reasonable driving distance to all the main attractions which interested us. The hotel room does have a mini fridge and microwave. Fairly quiet.
Superb hotel right on the beach with the most incredible views. Definitely go for a sea view. We loved everything including the room service and the binoculars in the room to watch the otters.
Perfect location for my work. I have a monthly lecture in Monterey and another in pacific grove . The hotel is situated between the two. The staff are lovely and helpful.
Convenience. Walk to Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row Shops and Eateries. Fireplace in room is warm and cozy. Microwave in room is also handy for instant food.
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.
