Find hotels near Monterey Convention Center, Monterey from SAR 335

"I have to start by saying that hotel rates in Monterey are extremely high, but this hotel was even less expensive than one Motel 6 I looked at. This hotel has a newer building, and the older "historic" building, where we stayed. The elevator to the historic building wasn't working, so they sent us through the back of the 4th floor of the main building, up a few outdoor stairs, into the old building. I didn't realize that some of the things that we take for granted in a hotel wouldn't be there. For example - there was no mini-fridge. One of my daughters' medications needed refrigeration, so we ended up using an insulated Trader Joe's bag as an ice bag, with ice from the hotel basement. Good thing we aren't on insulin. Maybe the newer building rooms have mini-fridges? If you really need one, ask before booking. The other thing was no USB port to charge my watch. Thankfully, I had charged it at the previous hotel. After 3 days at the Monterey Hotel, it was all but dead by the time we made it home. I think maybe the old building couldn't handle a lot electrically. The hotel has some obvious deferred maintenance, and a very small staff of hardworking people wearing a lot of hats. The bellmen are also the valet drivers, and even the repair men when the faucet in my daughters' room malfunctioned. However, I really commend the staff for being so upbeat, welcoming and helpful. It was kind of like staying with an old friend whose house is kind of shabby, but clean and welcoming."

"Was very close to the custom house plaza. Had a good amount of stores and food places around it. Very easy to get to and the staff were on top of everything would definitely go back. Room was spacious and clean"

"The towels and bedding were very good quality. Loved the fireplace. The beach is right by it, the best part. Very accessible for the stroller. They were nice enough to let us park there earlier than our check in time for the busy weekend to save us the headache of looking for parking. Will book again next time we visit Monterey. "

"We had a great stay at the Colton Inn. Large clean room with a big comfortable bed. Basic breakfast but perfectly adequate. Easy parking at the hote in a safe part of town within walking distance of Fishermans wharf and several bars, restaurants and supermarket. There was no air conditioning but this was unnecessary in early May. "

"The property is dated. The staff were friendly. The property was quiet and the bed comfortable. But our first room was disgusting. We checked into the and immediately were hit with the smell of bleach. The bathtub had something brown and gross and the carpet next to the bed was very wet. After putting a towel down it soaked through. Clearly something occur the night before and housekeeping tried to clean it up. But did not communicate to the front desk that this room may not be ready that day. The staff did have another of the same room available which we moved into. So there was never a reason to give us the deity room to begin with. "

"This was a 5/5 hotel for me! Continte"

"And Too expensive for this outdated place"

"We could park right outside our door, very convenient. "
