Merritt House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the spacious premium room we had for a 4-night stay (has very comfortable large living room with couch/other seating, TV). Walkable to wharf, pedestrian path and everything in town. Self-serve coffee outside in courtyard in the morning was great and appreciated that we could take some breakfast to go - not a ton of options but good for a small bite in the morning. Staff was nice."

Colton Inn

10/10 Excellent
"What a gem in Monterey! First time we stayed here and we are so impressed! Breakfast is included and there is a nice patio to relax in. Our room was on the third floor over the little babbling brook and included a fireplace. The room was very clean and spacious with plenty of outlets for phones etc. Can we talk about the comfortable beds??!!! Not too soft not too hard. Room had a little table and two chairs for eating. The elevator was handy for my mom who gets around slowly. I look for fridge, microwave, elevator and location and Colton Inn hit all of these. Super close to Macys and the mall as well as downtown, the wharf and pier. Starbucks was just a little walk to downtown as well as the walking/bike path along the water. Also super close to restaurants and attractions. We loved our stay and will definitely book again!"

"This is one of the better managed hotels on the peninsula. You don't need to tell them everyday to clean your room. I would like to recommend having turkey bacon and/or more vegetarian options for the hot selections. Other than that, a great experience."
