Merritt House Hotel

Room was clean and tastefully appointed. Loved the view of the garden from the french doors.

Booking

Nothing

Wonderful one night stay. The woman at the front desk was SO helpful. Easy check in/out process and the room/bed was very comfortable.

The hotel was quiet and comfortable. They also offered a complimentary log to enjoy in my room’s fireplace which made for a cozy evening. The hotel was only a few blocks from downtown Monterey and Fisherman’s Wharf. Parking was a bit tight but manageable. I would happily stay here again!

Location is perfect and the room was very charming. We loved the character and feel of the room. The one complaint we had was the tv did not connect to our phone and the front desk did not have a recommendation to resolve it. Other than that very minor issue, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

Downtown location

Room was lovely with a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the garden. The property is historic, but the bathrooms have been remodeled, so are modern. The location is fantastic--easy walk to Fishermans Wharf, restaurants and historic sites, right in Old Town Monterey. Staff were lovely. The breakfast was fine. No room service or luxury hotel amenities, but to me the charm and historic ambiance more than make up for that.

At first we were put in a first floor room, this hotel is on a busier street and less tucked away than the photos. Things have clearly been updated in decor but the amenities themselves are lacking, our A/C thermostat didn't work and there was a pot smell that either was wafting from another room or outside. Okay for one night on a road trip but wouldn't stay longer or return here.
