When checking in at the hotel we were told, there would be a loud wedding party staying for the weekend and if they got too loud after 10pm to call the front desk. When we checked into the room, we were satisfied with the view of the ocean and cleanliness. We did not book an ocean view room but were... More

Great location and free parking. One block from Cannery Row and a short walk to the wharf. Curteous and knowledgeable staff. We were told upon check in that there may be problems with the Wi-Fi, but we didn't experience any problems. The basket of snacks is a plus. Lumpy bedding was the major detraction and the place needs an update.... More

I just finished reading some of the reviews of the Otter Inn in Monterey and I couldn't disagree more with the review given on Sept. 7,2011. My husband and I have been staying at this hotel for 12 years and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in Monterey. We love the location. It's a block back from Cannery Row and so... More

Great location, free parking, and basic but neat rooms. The guy at the reception was helpful, though he insisted I had to book through their website to get the best rate. Couldn't get the room's wireless Internet to work. The weak, unsecured signal from the lobby worked, more or less. Upon check-in, we got a complimentary basket with snacks. Another... More

We'd been driving all day and this was the first place we found. The guy at reception wasn't very friendly at all, the rooms were clean, but the WiFi didn't work, the shower was a trickle, pillows were flat and not comfortable and there was a single power point in a twin room... I tried to call reception 3 times... More

This inn is walking distance to all of the main attractions in Monterey. It is considerably more affordable than any of the other hotel options in the same location. It is not a luxury hotel. The rooms are basic and maybe a bit outdated, but it is very inexpensive for the location. More

My boyfriend and I stayed here last September. We were in town for the Laguna Seca races. The room was great for the amount we paid for. Room and bathroom were clean. My only complaint is that the walls are very thin. We weren't in the room very much so it wasn't too much of a concern. We loved how... More

I am a fan of small, inexpensive hotels. If you're not, this might not be for you. The rooms are very clean and the view is decent. But the best part is it is one block up from Cannery Row. I was able to walk just a block to get to all my favorite restaurants and shops. There was a... More
