    Queen bedroom
    Shannon T.

    3.5 stars. I was able to book 2 nights for a last minute getaway to Monterey. I was lucky to see there was a 30% off promo going on for the Labor Day weekend. For a last minute booking, the price wasn't terrible, at $350 total for two nights. I was also able to call in advance to request a room on the top floor since I don't like hearing people stomping around at night when I'm trying to sleep lol. The location is very convienent, about 15 minutes walk to go to fisherman's wharf, and about 20-30 mins to walk to Cannery Row/the aquarium. There's lots of restauraunts and cafes within walking distances, and the motel is located directly in front of a gas station/convienence store. I was surprised to see that the room wasn't as small as I expected, since on the website it described the room as "junior". There's plenty of room for two people. I also liked how the bathroom had a hand soap dispenser! I detest hotel bar soaps to wash my hands because eventually they get nasty, so that was nice to have. The bed was surprisingly comfy too. Now for the ugly- I noticed there was a small speck of a bloodstain on the bedsheets. The bedsheets were obviously cleaned, but it was a bit off putting to see that. I didn't want to make a fuss out of it since it was a very small stain. I also noticed there was a small stain probably from a beverage on the nightstand, and it made me question if the surfaces in the motel was wiped thoroughly or not. My room was also located on the side where the busy intersection is so it was a little bit noisy. If I stay here again, I'd recommend requesting a room away from the busy street. There's 24/7 coffee and tea and a water dispenser near the front desk. Front desk was very friendly. We were able to park our car underground, which had a convienent elevator. We were able to leave our car parked even after we checked out the same day, so we walked downtown to grab breakfast before we headed back home.

    Great location. Free Parking. NO "resort fees". Near bus stop to MB Aquarium, A/B bus a few steps away. Stayed here for sold out Hyatt Regency event. 20 min walk along Fremont & 10th st. Public Trans To: 11 min bus #7. Return: A/B $2ea way. Most rooms are renovated except for the smelly ancient rug & curtains. Small 32" HDTV comp coffee, room safe, & mini-fridge. No microwave. Beds are soft and clean sheets. UV/Blacklight confirmed. There's a Denny's, Casa Munras, and other restaurants. Good value even for the high (It's Monterey) price.

    Tiny but well appointed bathroom with shower

    This is a converted strip motel so not a luxury hotel. The rooms are clean and nicely upgraded. Our first room had a nice but tiny bathroom so we asked to switch rooms. The owner or manager was very accommodating and was able to get us a room with a larger bathroom for our 4 day stay here. There is a front desk staff 24/7 which is reassuring with complimentary coffee/tea/ hot water. The rooms have a fridge but no microwave but they do have one to share in the lobby. The pool is not heated in the off season. There is a small amount of parking on the ground level and more underground. I do recommend slowing way down to turn into the parking area by the office as it is an awkward turn. The location is close to the downtown area which is what I was looking for. A bit farther for fisherman's wharf or cannery row (15min walk at least). There are restaurants walking distance in the downtown area. Traffic noise did not bother me as my husband snores louder so I use ear plugs. It is by a main street as others have mentioned but they do have new windows that help decrease the noise level when closed. Overall enjoyed my stay, thank you. I would normally rate this 3 stars but with the service +1 star. The hotel I was originally planning on staying at was fully booked so this was my backup and it worked out. Value for price is moderate.

    Very Nice Very Clean Love the underground private parking With elevator to my room Perfect location

    Front desk

    Okay, this hotel is not perfect, but I still think they deserve 5 stars because you get good value for what you pay, and everything was in working order during our stay. The office was a bit confusing to find because it's on the opposite side from the garage (they have both underground parking and a small upper lot). The front desk let us know that if hotel parking fills up at night (and it did), that we could park on the street until 11am. The staff checking us in quickly went over small details like that and gave us the key cards, no problems, no wait on a Saturday afternoon. Our room, furniture, and sheets were clean, and had everything we needed (there was no microwave in the room, as advertised on their website, but we didn't need it). The carpet was fine, no unpleasant stains. We were able to connect an HDMI cable to the TV and connect a latop, and change the source/input on the TV which was cool since they don't have movies for purchase. It's not a giant room, but it wasn't tiny either, so we were comfortable. They have lots of lights, including plenty of reading lights, which I think is uncommon. Also, lots of outlets, and conveniently placed near TV, desk, and both sides of the bed, good for charging phones. The bathroom was pretty standard, the shower was modern with nice touches, good water pressure, and shower head and space made for tall people.. yes higher than most hotels. Thermostat and mini fridge worked great, and I loved that checkout was at 12 noon, instead of 11am like most hotels (since that gives me more time in the morning). Also, this hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the Monterey wharf, which was ideal for our trip.

The service was exceptional from the valet to the bellhop to registration and restaurant staff. We are also IHG elite members and we were given a room upgrade with a thoughtful card and gift for our anniversary. Our room was facing the ocean on Cannery Row with a balcony. It was a very nice, spacious and clean room with alot of thoughtful attention like providing refillable water bottles, robes and an amazing Nespresso machine. There was also a wine bar and snacks available for purchase. The hotel had a wonderful scent throughout and we enjoyed walking through the ocean vibes staircase featuring a jellyfish. Definitely look for that! We loved having our anniversary dinner at The C Restaurant, but that will be another well earned review on it's own. However, we did have two negative experiences, one was that we waited a bit too long for our car at the valet once and there was an accidental spa charge on our receipt when checking out. I still gave them 5 stars because they rectified it right away and even removed the valet charge for us, which was much appreciated. I would love to come back to this hotel someday to bring my parents and we hope you love it too!!

Toddler Notes for the Hotel: [[ Pro's ]] 1.) The room we got on the 3rd floor corner was very spacious and had a ton of room. We were able to set up a pack and play and still had a generous amount of room left to walk around. 2.) Blackout shades and see-through shades for double coverage which keeps the room nice and dark at night. 3.) Location is great as it's super close to Cannery Row, lots of restaurants, and Monterey Bay Aquarium which was our ultimate destination. 4.) Parking Garage is free and decently sized and can fit a mid-size SUV with no issues. It will get tighter if you have a humongous full-SUV though (see pictures). [[ Con's ]] 1.) So Many STAIRS. Like legitimately, there are so many stairs. I took a ton of pictures to give you an idea. Stairs coming down from the elevator, stairs between floors, etc. This is not very young kid friendly when you have a stroller, a bunch of kid items, etc. I'm not sure I would stay here again due to the amount of stairs and inconvenience. 2.) Noise Level - If your kid is sensitive to noise, be prepared to have a ton of sound machines because you really could hear a ton of things. Cars, honking, other people's rooms, etc. 3.) Shower - It did seem a bit rusty in certain places and our shower wouldn't drain so there was a big puddle the whole time we were showering. The steam also set off the fire alarm like another person mentioned. Quick conclusion - I think it's an okay IHG hotel but not very good for families with young kids. Good for the location though.

Another great thing about this hotel is that it does not charge for parking which definitely is a bonus. The room I was in was pretty big and quiet. Free standard Holiday Inn daily breakfast. I would definitely stay here again if I wasn't looking to splurge and just wanted a room for the night.

So either housekeeping was being dishonest about finding it originally, or they're being dishonest about changing the bedding between guests.) And now, after nearly a month of waiting, calling, and emailing, the kindle was FINALLY mailed. My initial review still stands. What an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience. "Disappointed" would be an understatement. Booked one night (using points) at this property and really wish we hadn't. Was charged a mystery $50 fee at check in. Then at checkout we asked what it was for, the guy working the front desk didn't have a clue and he tried to say he'd fix it "when the computers were working again." When we called his bluff by saying we'd come back in an hour, it was magically fixed. Shady! The room itself was meh... the floors were strangely sloped/didn't feel level. The real kicker here: there was no bedside table on my side of the bed (an inconvenience in itself), so my kindle was placed on the bed with me. I unfortunately forgot my kindle on the bed and didn't realize until we had checked out and were hours away. We called the hotel and were told they didn't find anything in the room. I know for a fact it was left in that room (I've double triple quadruple checked my luggage and there's no where else it could possibly be). Again, SHADY.

Hotel staff friendly and personable. Apparently, they recently renovated. I cannot give an idea of how the hotel was prior to that, however, I can attest that we really liked this place and that's why we continue to come back. The rooms were very tidy, comfortable and welcoming. The bathroom was clean and well lit. Every room we've stayed in had a great view of the pool and the surroundings.

One of the highlights of our stay was how the hotel carried such a unique atmosphere and history. It wasn't just a place to sleep--it felt like part of the adventure. Between the ocean views, cozy spaces, and local touches, it really captured the spirit of Monterrey. And then there were the ghost stories. Whether you're a believer or just love a good tale, they add an extra layer of fun and mystery to the stay. If you're someone that believes (or not), go to the front desk and ask for the "book". It had 78 pages of first hand accounts of unexplained happenings from guests. We had a very small moment ourselves, while I was sharing what I uncovered about the ghosts with my significant other in the morning, suddenly the bathroom light just turned on. Nobody was around and they do run on sensors. Not a significant event but certainly was well timed. Overall, Hotel Del Monte struck the perfect balance between comfort, history, and a touch of playful spookiness. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Monterrey that has access to a military installation--especially if you're looking for more than just a hotel, but a memorable experience.

Our room had an odd smell to it, and the amenities are pretty minimal. However, we expected this due to the age of the building. Our only negative was that we were given the first room next to the entrance and stairwell, which was not fun to hear folks stomping up and down the stairs and slamming the doors. On Friday morning, several people we knew were awoken by the "active shooter drill" announcement at 8:00am. I understand this will happen on a naval academy base, but I wish we were warned about upon check-in just so we were aware and not startled in the morning.
