2 hotels in Munras Avenue seen below the public rate in the last 7 days, typically 4% less than Expedia.
Munras works for practical stays, but check the walk back uphill. Munras delivers the strongest value and practical access, but modest hotel quality, few nearby attractions and a road-oriented setting limit its overall rank.
Munras Avenue is Monterey's traditional motel corridor, climbing away from downtown toward Del Monte Shopping Center and Highway 1. Its northern end connects reasonably well with Alvarado Street, groceries and downtown dining; farther uphill, the experience becomes more about driving between stops. Think useful road-trip infrastructure rather than a waterfront neighborhood.
Stay here if straightforward access to both Monterey and Carmel matters more than stepping straight onto the coastal trail. Local recommendations favor Munras for practical stays, but the exact address matters: a downtown-edge walk is not representative of the whole avenue. Skip the upper stretch if every dinner, sightseeing outing and return uphill must work comfortably on foot.

Typical rates with Axel here run from $120 a night at Pelican Inn Monterey to $199 at Best Western Park Crest Inn (last 30 days).
