We booked a stay for Saturday night a little less than a week prior to check in. Seeing as it was a holiday weekend, and the cost, I was wary of what I had gotten my family into. However, this was a great place to stay. We had a suite, and the fact we could put the kids in the... More

A friendly respite from the business of the wharf and downtown. The Merritt house is the center of activity and yet is a peaceful oasis. It felt like home. The staff is friendly and helpful. It was a pleasure to stay at. My husband and I stayed in the older historic house and it had plenty of room and charm.... More

We stayed here during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am when rooms were very hard to find, and was pleased to find this Inn with such a good location and reasonable rates. The rooms do feel a bit like a motel, but ours opened out the back onto a very nice patio that had character. The breakfast room was small but... More

On the website, the Inn looks like an attractive old building - however, most of the rooms are actually in an ugly motel-style block. We has been looking forward to arriving at a place with some character, so we felt disappointed and cheated. The room we were in had very little natural light, which was depressing and not good for... More

Great location near Fisherman's Wharf, downtown Monterey and Cannery Row. We had room #10 (safari themed room) and loved it. Super comfortable bed, French doors opening onto a small balcony overlooking a garden area. Breakfast was perfect for us - bagels, cream cheese, hot cereal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, selection of fruits, orange juice, fresh pastries, tea and delicious coffee... More

Pros: great location, great front door service, nice breakfast, free parking, and the history behind it. Cons: paper-thin walls, TV not working, and for some reason, the layout of the Inn portion makes me think that I stayed in a motel, instead of a B&B.

Coming upon this inn after a long day was like hitting an oasis. This is a B&B located within walking distance of Fisherman's Wharf and is quiet. The room was spacious with a fireplace and a log and matches for your convenience. The breakfast room was charming with hot cereal, croissants and hard-boiled eggs as well as the usual muffins,...

We stayed one night so that we could head over to the aquarium and then spend the night before going home. We arrived about 4 hours before checking, but the room was ready so we got our keys and went up. There was a nice big patio where we had lunch, and then walked over to the aquarium. We stayed...

We stayed for two nights at the Merritt House on our way to San Francisco. The room was large and very comfortable, also very clean. The breakfast was quite satisfying for us as we do not eat a large breakfast; cereal, bagels, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, coffee& tea was ample! The location was perfect for Fisherman's Wharf and the staff was... More
