#6 of 7 hotels in Cannery Row by Axel's take. Cannery Row is #1 of 6 places to stay in Monterey, California. The best hotels in Cannery Row, ranked · Where to stay in Monterey, California

Axel's take: 8.6/10

A comfortable Cannery Row base with friendly staff, but soundproofing is the weak spot. a small, limited-service 3-star inn near Cannery Row, scored for what it is.

Wave Street Inn is a small, limited-service 3-star inn that makes a strong base for exploring Monterey on foot. Cannery Row, restaurants and the aquarium are an easy walk away. Tripadvisor and Expedia guests repeatedly praise the helpful staff, clean rooms and comfortable beds; Booking.com’s ratings also put location and service ahead of facilities. We’d choose it for a straightforward sightseeing stay, with terrace firepits adding a pleasant evening extra.

The main compromise is soundproofing: several Tripadvisor guests report hearing neighbors or footsteps overhead, although others describe quiet stays. Some guests also mention wear, so expect comfortable rather than polished. Parking costs extra, and the garage can feel tight. Light sleepers and travelers seeking a full-service waterfront hotel should look elsewhere; for walkable convenience and welcoming service, it delivers well.

  • Best for: families visiting the aquarium; couples on sightseeing breaks; travelers who prefer exploring on foot

  • Watch out for: voices and footsteps can carry between rooms; paid parking with tight spaces; some wear despite contemporary decor

  • Location: An easy walk to Cannery Row, the aquarium and nearby beaches; not directly beachfront.

  • Rooms: Comfortable beds, refrigerators and coffee makers; sound insulation is inconsistent.

  • Cleanliness: A consistent strength across Tripadvisor, Expedia and Booking.com feedback.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful staff are among the most consistently praised features.

  • Amenities: Free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and terrace firepits; spa services are at sister property Casa Munras.

  • Fees and surprises: Self-parking is charged separately; the official site says daily housekeeping is available upon request.
