Cannery Row Inn

Friendly staff, solid location, decent WiFi and generally clean and has the basics down. Better for sightseeing than for those staying in, I think. Quick things to note: they don't allow late checkouts, just fyi, but otherwise you just drop your keys in a box to check out. The vending machines are also located in an open area, which is nice for when I visited but could become an issue if it's raining... The balconies are really nice, and the location is insanely convenient. It's about 10ish minutes to walk to the aquarium, and it's a block (or half, if you go out the back!) to the waterfront. There's solid food and sightseeing options here too. They do have a decent parking lot, but there's a ton you can see in Monterey by walking, and this hotel is perfect for a lot of those. What's missing here: a common dining area and breakfast, for one. Rooms aren't cramped but most furnishing is basic. Don't expect anything fancy, essentially. All that said, it's a solid choice if you're actually going out and sightseeing vs spending tons of time here. And if you do, they have some pretty nice patios and some rooms have balconies overlooking a trail.

Hotel is average. It is clean but it is older and repair is needed to the exterior. The clerk in the morning needs some customer service lessons, the one in the afternoon was awesome but not very verse in the attractions in the area. I expected more for our money.

very good location

Pleasant hotel, convenient location. Lots of street noise coming from lighthouse street. I recommend requesting a room facing the bay (no view), and not sharing a wall with the street toward lighthouse.

Love the area and the staff is helpful and nice.

This hotel is dingy and old. The only thing it has going for it was the location. Bed was basically just coils. Toilet was broken and tub was broken.

Have stayed here many times, staff is always so friendly and accommodating. The value is incredible for the location.

Older property but clean. Very close to shopping, Cannery row.

Good location, easy walk to Cannery Row. Plenty of parking. It was quiet at night. Front desk staff was nice.It needs some updating and more cleaning. My newphew dropped something on the floor and when I got down to get it there were hairties and a crumpled tissue under the night stand. Gross.
