Old Monterey Inn

An absolutely beautiful inn with fantastic, caring staff. We had the most wonderful time at the Old Monterey Inn. We were made to feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, until the time we left. Everything from the furniture, the luxurious bedding, to the thoughtful necessities in the bathroom, to the relaxing cheese n wine happy hour at 4pm each day is done to the highest standard. The dining room is exquisite and the breakfasts are extremely tasty. There was plenty of parking space even when the inn was booked to capacity, and there was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere every day. We were in town as part of our 10th wedding anniversary trip and our time at the Inn was one of the highlights of our trip. Its the little touches like having tea/coffee and biscuits available in the lobby 24hrs a day, and the fridge stocked with yogurt, water and soft drinks specifically for guest use. I noticed some guests using it to keep beer and wine cold. We had a fantastic time here, and were extremely touched with the beautiful little Christmas ornament we were given for our anniversary. We will most definitely come back here and highly recommend it.

My daughter and I stayed two nights (not long enough). The Inn is so beautiful and our room was so comfortable and lovely. The grounds are beautiful and Martha who was so wonderful with our check-in and breakfast. We recommend breakfast in the beautiful dining room with delicious food and fireplace. In the afternoon wine and cheese is served in the living room area also with a fireplace on. We will always stay here from now on!

Beautiful house with beautiful garden

Very unique property, friendly staff, and excellent internal design.

On April 20th, 2025 I checked into the Old Monterey Inn. That night there was a mouse behind the head board. I called the after hours number provided in the room four times and left my name and phone number asking for a call back. I explained that I saw a mouse and did not feel comfortable sleeping in that room. By 11:50 pm I did not hear back and left the room due to health concerns. When I returned April 21, 2025 at 10:20 am in the morning Wendy Dominguez finally answered my phone call. She stated that she called pest control and they did not find a mouse and the premises has cats. My room looked exactly as I had left it. Tea cups on the night stands, and decorative pillows removed from the bed on the couch all of which I have photo evidence. I asked her why she didn’t call me back or offer to change the accommodations. She said she did not have my phone number and I had to speak with Booking.com regarding my concerns. At this point I called Booking.com and was informed any refund or room change would need to be made through Wendy. I do not understand why she lied to me that I need to make any accommodations through Booking. Com and that she could not help me. I called Wendy back twice. She answered on the second call at 11:26 am. At this time Wendy stated “I cancelled your reservation this morning. You need to give the key back or I am charging you $500. You are trespassing get off the premises. You cannot stay here.” At this time I asked for a refund and gave her the key. She took the key and said “that’s not fair to me” as she walked away and said “I’m charging you”. I am requesting a full refund because she did not answer or return my calls April 20,2025 even though she had my number to do so. She did not offer to change the accommodations, and SHE CANCELLED the reservation. I did not stay at this hotel or receive any of the services specified in my reservation. Therefore, I am requesting a full refund at the very least.

Breakfast and service were excellent. The place is gorgeous, and the tub was fantastic.

I don't have anything in particular. I thought it was a perfect stay.

My husband and I LOVED getting to stay here! The staff here were wonderful! They really valued their guest’s privacy and made breakfast’s so beautifully, and kept the room so clean for their guests. The gardens were spectacular! It felt like home and we didn’t want to leave! The location is close to everything as well! Would highly recommend!

We were very happy and comfortable with the property, service, and breakfast. The disappointment came a few weeks afterward when I realized I had left my jewelry bag in the room. I called and was told that they keep items for 90 days, then that they must have donated it because they didn’t have it. Given the price of the accommodation I would have expected a courtesy call or email to let me know they had found a bag of jewelry left behind. It was my mistake to have left it but I remain very disappointed they did not reach out.
