My wife and I booked a stay for my 40th Birthday....3 days before our scheduled check in date, my wife became violently ill with stomach flu, vomitting and a whole lot of other symptoms. It was clear we would have to cancel our trip, which included a long drive to Monterey from our home in San Diego (9 hours). Knowing... more

We never actually stayed at the Otter Inn, and it was still the worst hotel experience I have ever had. My family had a vacation planned in San Francisco and Monterey, but due to my wife's sudden illness right before our trip, we had to cancel our entire vacation. The hotel in San Francisco was very gracious and cancelled our... more

My older sister booked this hotel for her and I to stay in for a night for one last sisterly "hoo-ra" before she moved out of state. After she booked it I did some digging and, to be completely honest, I was terrified by the customer reviews. I thought "Oh crap, what have we gotten into?". I was expecting a... more

Our visit was a while back, but I just remembered it while crusing the Tripadvisor site and thought I would warn you. This place was lousy. I'm an easy going guy, and not terribly hard to please, as you can see in my other reviews, but this was an exception. The main complaint was the attitude of the desk clerk,... more

Burlington, Ontario Canada We stayed at the Otter Inn for two nights. Not a first class hotel, but the rooms were very clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly. My one complaint would be the noise coming from adjacent rooms when someone took a shower. The location and price were perfect. I would recommend this hotel to anyone... more

We had two rooms for two nights, but one night was bad enough. We left even though we couldn't get a refund for the next night. The plumbing in the walls was so loud we were awake at 4 AM while early risers took their showers. The drapes were hanging partially off the rods, and there were unidentified rustling noises... more

One thing about Monterey hotels, nothing is cheap. So what would be cheap outside of the city is pricy here, what is really nice here is really expensive, there is no in-between! Anyways, this is a clean place to stay (I was taking scuba classes) and a good price for Monterey. Room (double) was good, clean linens, bathroom was okay... more

The plumbing was bad. The ceiling above our shower was on the verge of bursting open because a drain pipe from the shower above us was leaking badly. The pipes in the walls made loud godawful sounds at all hours of the night when people ran water. It was loud enough to startle us awake. You can hear every footstep... more

This hotel was awful especially for the outrageous price we paid to stay. The staff is rude and not customer oriented. I would have been better off staying at a Motel 6. Would not recommend this Inn to my worst enemy. The room was not inviting at all, my kids were even turned off by it. You would be better... more
