Very nicely appointed hotel in an historic location, with beautiful grounds. But rooms 14 and 15 are near the cross street with a market on the corner, so you get early moning traffic noise plus the on/off cycle of the market's refrigeration units pretty constantly. The trash trucks showed up at 6 a.m. one morning, and ran all the way... More

We made a mistake on our reservation, and called them the day before to add a day's stay. They were nice enough to upgrade our room for no additional charge. The room was clean and pleasant. It really is more of a small hotel that serves a breakfast as well. The fact that it is walking distance (a little over... More

We spent 2 nights at the Merritt House Inn. The room was charming and the location was great. We booked the Merritt House because it was represented as a B&B. However, only a handful of rooms are actually in the house. Our room was actually in the hotel area of the property. Breakfast was fine but only consisted of fruit,... More

Stayed here for a night on a spontaneous trip to Monterey -- I have to echo what the other reviewers said, the location is fantastic. We walked everywhere -- didn't need to use the car at all. Our room was very nice, high vaulted ceilings, fireplace, and a nice n' cozy bed. We simply asked the front desk for a... More

We arrived early and were graciously given our room by a friendly gentelman. The room was well appointed with a nice fireplace and outside shared terrace. Our breakfast was more than adequate and the hostess gave us great recommendations on things to do and drives that gave us a spectacular view of the area. Our only complaint was that our... More

We were driving round looking for a place to stop before flying home from SF the next day. We took a chance and pulled in here and didn't regret it for a minute. Edmund was on duty and he was really helpful with dining suggestions. Our room was no 20 - and it was lovely. Fabulous bed - enormous and... More

Room: 3 Location: 5 I gave Merritt House a 3, but I think there is a TON of potential for this place to be a 4 with a little work-- at least speaking specifically about room #8 where I stayed. The space was large, and loved that the vaulted ceilings made it feel even larger. However, the room could use... More

I had a room in the non-historic part on the ground floor. The color scheme was modern with Asian pieces, the room and mini fridge were clean. The biggest downsides were the lack of a makeup mirror on the otherwise awesomely spacious vanity, and the irritatingly loud bathroom fan, which automatically turned on with the light. The room could have... More

This was a very nice room that we stayed in while we were exploring Northern Cal. The room we stayed in had at least 10 ft ceilings, lots of room, nicely decorated, very clean. The Inn is right in Downtown Monterey just blocks from Fisherman's Wharf. Service was good, though our WiFi was down one of the days. The breakfast... More
