Top Steinbeck's Spirit of Monterey Wax Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty nice"

InterContinental the Clement Monterey by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The location is fantastic, the service offered by all the staff left nothing to be desired! The property was impeccable!"

The Stevenson Monterey

8/10 Good

"Being on a busy corner, there was quite a bit of noise but it died down considerable after midnight. The water has a funky smell and taste. I don't think either of these issues were at the fault of the establishment. All in all, our stay was just fine."

Monarch Resort

10/10 Excellent

"good"

Martine Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great."

Victorian Inn

8/10 Good

"Overall a solid choice that allows you to walk to many of the attractions. I stayed in a suite room and the two rooms - living area with small kitchen and the bedroom with bath were larger than the first apartment that I had. Not bad at all."

Cannery Row Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to Cannery Row, which was a huge plus for us. The property has been renovated nicely as well. We found it very comfortable, and there is an elevator from the parking lot, a big plus for us as we are seniors. We were able to leave our car in the parking lot and walk down to the restaurants and shops in Cannery Row. The farthest we walked was the Aquarium which took about 15 minutes, so all the Cannery Row area is quite handy. Staff is friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again."

Holiday Inn Express Monterey-Cannery Row by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Although this is an older hotel, management has done a great job of keeping it clean, well-maintained, and looking updated. The hotel is located in a safe area, within walking distance of just about everything you might need. I absolutely loved the location! The hotel does have an elevator, but there are still some stairs you may need to use to access certain rooms. If you have mobility concerns, I recommend contacting the hotel in advance to confirm whether a room is available that does not require climbing stairs. The breakfast selection was decent. The dining area was a bit small, but they made the most of the space and did a good job. I especially enjoyed the coffee! The staff seemed friendly and genuinely happy to be there, which made the experience even better. I also appreciated that the hotel offered parking. However, so many places were within walking distance that we really didn't need to rent a car. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel for its location, cleanliness, and welcoming atmosphere."
