#9 of 9 hotels in Downtown & Fisherman's Wharf by Axel's take. Downtown & Fisherman's Wharf is #2 of 6 places to stay in Monterey, California. The best hotels in Downtown & Fisherman's Wharf, ranked · Where to stay in Monterey, California

Axel's take: 7.2/10

A convenient downtown base with Victorian character, but room choice matters. a historic 3-star hotel in downtown Monterey, scored for what it is.

The Monterey Hotel is a historic 3-star whose strongest selling point is its downtown location, not polished facilities. It's a good pick for travelers who want restaurants, shops and Fisherman's Wharf within walking distance. Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff, and many enjoy the Victorian details. We'd favor the newer deluxe wing over booking a historic room purely for its charm.

The trade-offs are meaningful: recent reviews across both sites mention stuffy rooms without air-conditioning, street noise and worn carpets or furnishings. Cleanliness gets plenty of positive feedback, but recurring complaints about carpets and odors make upkeep less consistent than we'd like. Management says the deluxe wing offers better soundproofing. Parking costs extra, and the historic layout can involve awkward routes despite an elevator. We'd skip it if reliable cooling, quiet sleep or straightforward step-free access are priorities.

Best for: travelers exploring downtown on foot; short stays with modest expectations; fans of Victorian character
Watch out for: stuffy historic rooms without air-conditioning; street noise and uneven upkeep; paid parking and complicated access
Location: Central downtown setting near dining, shops and Fisherman's Wharf; not beachfront.
Rooms: Historic rooms vary in comfort; management recommends the deluxe wing for improved soundproofing.
Cleanliness: Many guests report clean rooms, but carpet and odor complaints recur.
Service: Helpful front-desk staff are a consistent strength; management says housekeeping is on request.
Amenities: Wi-Fi and a 24-hour desk; Deluxe Queen rooms list a microwave, mini-fridge and coffeemaker.
Fees and surprises: Parking is extra, dogs incur nightly fees, and elevator access does not guarantee a step-free room route.
