Top California's First Theatre Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are clean and spacious. The spas are in need of repair."

The Monterey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room and courteous and helpful staff. Will stay here again. Will highly recommend!"

Colton Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room Staff extreme friendly and helpful."

Cannery Row Inn

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel is perfect. There is a walking / bike path right behind the hotel. We didn't have to move our car at all during our 5 day stay. Several restaurants within 10 minutes walking, the aquarium is a 15 minute walk, and the wharf is a 10 minute walk. Downtown where there are several nice restaurants is a 15 minute walk. The room was very clean and no weird odors. The negatives were: the box of tissues looked like someone crammed a bunch of used tissues back into the box. Maid should have thrown these away. Also, the soap dispenser in the shower was empty upon arrival, and they charge almost $17 per day to park. I feel the parking fee is lame. Just include it in your price."

Victorian Inn

"Muy buen servicio, ubicación. Gracias muy en Especial al Sr. Víctor"
