Lovely spacious room amazing comfy bed. Breakfast is help yourself in the reception area which you can take back to your room. Enough choice to keep you going for the day. Arrived early and they let us leave the car in the car park. Location is idea short walk into the main area. Visited the aquarium which is a must if staying in Monterey. Only here for the 1 night but would definitely recommend staying here.

I am treated like family when I return to stay at here. They have helped me to feel comfortable and the breakfast is so convenient. When the Bridge was closed for so long in Big Sur I had a cozy place to stay. Love having a fireplace. Several times I stayed there after medical procedures and I was very comfortable.

Hi Pam, it's always great to see you. I'm glad we were able to connect with the Big Sur community when they needed help during the Sobranes fire. Glad you keep coming back since then, have a great day :)

We stayed at the Colton Inn while we were driving down the PCH. We didn’t know what to expect as we’d never been to Monterey before. We arrived at the Colton & were greeted by a lovely lady on reception, the room wasn’t ready-we we’re early- but she let us park up- so we walked into Monterey. The walk is just lovely, about 20 minutes. When we arrived back another lovely lady checked us in. Room was lovely, spacious & clean. The decor is a bit ‘old world’ but it fits Monterey perfectly. Went & asked reception advice on Monterey & they were just wonderful, nicest staff we came across on our California trip! Beds were comfortable, our only issue was noise from the toilets above but that didn’t effect our sleep too much. Breakfast was much better than I expected from reviews with lots to eat, which I took back to our room on a little tray which was great.

We certainly wish we could have stayed longer in Monterey and at the Colton! We loved every minute & it was on the top of our list highlights when it was actually just a stop over. What a fantastic place! Thank you Colton Inn & a special thank you to the 3 awesome ladies we encountered in reception.

Ellen at the front desk was very kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating when we arrived last minute without a reservation. She accommodated our family beautifully and knew the area very well. She was a great help to us newcomers and the hotel was very clean, comfortable, and in a great quiet neighborhood easily walkable to pretty Monterey downtown! Highly recommend!
