The majority of electrical outlets in our room did not work! Our room was extremely small and I don’t understand why we pay the same amount as one of our friends and they got a fireplace and a big tub and bath?!😔

Nice quiet stay at the Monterey
As a "historical" hotel, you never know what you're going to get in regards to the abilities of the building, but I had no issues in terms of water temp/pressure/etc. The room temp was good, and the hotel was very quiet. The carpets are a bit worn but they are clean, so not an issue. And the location was perfect; easily walked to everything I wanted to see, and plenty of good food options nearby.

You have to keep in mind that you are staying at a historic hotel. It’s beautiful & has that old hotel feel, which I always love. The amenities are so so, but that is to be expected. With that being said the room I stayed in has all the comforts of home. It’s cozy & the water is hot :) I enjoy staying in places like this which may not be the same for everyone. The staff is very warming & welcoming; and for me that is everything when you choose a place to stay when out of town. You can walk out the front door & have an huge options of places to eat & shop. And I love that ! I would definitely book a stay at this hotel again.

Mishaps with booking on their end - the price ended up a little higher than I reserved (a week in advanced) with a digital reciept, and while I managed to get a room, it was downgraded.

Very noisy room from outside noise. Staff were great, especially Katie and Syed! Paid a lot extra for fireplace but was disappointed, not much flame so poor ambiance. Would benefit from smart tv, or Roku stick.

The fact that it’s a pet friendly hotel and my dog barked for like 2 minutes and front desk brought it to my attention It’s a large hotel and to prevent from guest complaining they should have a separate section for guest with pets
