room was fine. but one issue was the window frame was separaated, so that drafts and wind gusts came through window into my room. There were high winds for nights i stayed there, so this was very noticeable. However I did not report it. And all else in room was good

Room was very nice and central to Monterey. Parking in the city public parking lot across the street is super easy. Pay between the hours of 9am to 6pm, after 6pm it's free. Hotel has a Jacuzzi in the basement. They only allow 1 group in at a time so nice and secluded. The hotel has no AC but has fans and heaters if needed. Will go back.

It was an average experience. The first room we got (a standard room) wasn’t great—the carpet felt old, and the room didn’t feel very comfortable. After upgrading for $20, we received a much nicer room for the price, and we were happy to stay one night at the Monterey Hotel.

I don't like computerized pre-registration. Somehow it just doesn't seem very personable (he noted with heavy sarcasm).
