"The staff was great they work really hard to take care of you. It was super clean which is a must for me. The problems I have are they call it a hotel but it's a motel. Also there was an ugly brown stain at the base of the toilet. The bathroom was in need of a rwmo"

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Stay at The Stevenson Monterey Hotel! We had a wonderful stay at The Stevenson Monterey Hotel. The front desk staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The staff were courteous and attentive, and their excellent service made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is also excellent, with convenient access to Old Fisherman’s Wharf, restaurants, and nearby attractions. It was a great place to stay while exploring beautiful Monterey.

Days Inn by Wyndham Monterey Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very pleasant stay. The motel is centrally located. It was 6 min to the Wharf, Cannary Row, restaurants, a catholic church, the Aquarium..if you have a big family and then you will love this… Denny ‘s is a 1/2 block away. Rooms were very big. The only down side was the bathroom. Tub was very slippery, and the curtain did not close all the way. So the first time the water was all over the floor. But we always come prepared. Used a binder clip at the top to hold curtain closed. No more leaks. We would definitely stay here again. The room we had was very large and great view if the Ocean. Loved this place"
