This was the most expensive of all the twelve places we stayed at during our three week trip around California and the worst by miles! Positives: Free car parking Close to Cannery Row (our favorite part of Monterey) Breakfast included (see below) Not so good: Room is very dated Carpets feel dirty Curtains are an interesting collection of three sewn...

We stayed one night at the Otter Inn. We were neither impressed nor disappointed. We chose it due to its proximity to the Monterey Bay Aquarium (easy walk) and price. We have a 3-year-old daughter who was thrilled by the mere idea of staying in a hotel. A nice little bonus was a basket of snacks that we were given... More

Our stay was during Monterey car week so price was probably 10 times what it was worth. However first impressions where it looked like awful changed. The rooms are garish, old bit kept really clean. Towels changed every day, comfortable clean bed & if it was $100 a night you wouldn't complain but it's $300 during car week but then... More

We stayed at the Otter Inn because it was close to the Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row. Check in was fast and easy. Clerks were friendly and patient. Plenty of parking. Room was on 4th floor and was comfortable and clean. A little heavy on the cleaner smell but once we opened up the windows it was fine. Bathroom was... More

When I arrived, I found there was plenty of free parking for my rental car. Very short walk to reception, the receptionist was friendly, very knowledgeable and efficient. The room was big and very comfortable, but being an older property there was an over abundance of “shake’n’vac”. it was a pain to get the free Wi-Fi, it was supposed to... More

We came to this hotel twice with our baby. Both times we arrived at the crack of dawn and the guy at front desk was very helpful in getting us a room that early. The first time we had a good experience (obviously it was good enough to schedule a second time!) but the second time we had loud neighbors... More

We arrived in Monterey without reservations and wanted a clean, safe, reasonably priced place near Cannery Row. Otter Inn was just what we were looking for. It is very near Cannery Row, shops, restaurants, and the aquarium - easy walking distance. Some rooms have balconies or fireplaces or views of the water. The free parking under the hotel is convenient.... More

The Otter Inn was the perfect place to stay with my family of 4. Nothing fancy, the snacks were helpful in the afternoon. The staff was very friendly. Much appreciated was the free parking and early check-in. We loved that we could walk every where, to the wharf, the cannery, the Aquarium and Pacific Grove. All beautiful.We especially loved the...

Stayed at the otter inn for a night on our way down the california coast road. Great location just two minutes from cannery row, free parking which is great! We were given a basket of snacks (cakes/nutrigrain etc) and had tea and coffee in the room. Rooms are a good size, big bathrooms, although nesting gulls were a bit of... More
