I like, very much, that they serve breakfast and bring it to your room. I do miss, though, the full breakfast like we had the last time we stayed here instead of a continental one. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I also like the Valet parking option. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are roomy and very clean. They knew it was our anniversary, so they brought us a bottle of wine with a note and it was in our room when we first walked in. Very nice! Hope to visit again soon.. lovely place.

The breakfast was always late and not very good. The front desk was not efficient and we waited more than 30 minutes for our valet parked car. The room was nice. The bathroom ok. Bathtub shower combination was fine. I prefer separate shower stall.

This was perfect for our three-generation visit.
We came for the aquarium as my grandson had never been. We also wanted to spend some time on the beach. I just wanted a hotel that would feel special and wouldn't require driving or walking long distances.

The Hotel located beachfront. It is in a really great location in Cannery Row. The Staff was really friendly and helpful during the entire stay. They parked our rented car and picked it up from garage, promptly every time. We would love to return one day.

Loved the hotel and had a wonderful time. It’s not updated but it was by no means run down. We loved the boutique hotel feel, the comfy bed, the seats by the fireplace were comfortable and the window seat was perfect. We spent a lot of time by the window watching the ocean and it was lovely. We will definitely return!

Absolutely LOVED the water view from our room! The continental breakfast was just right (we each had a yogurt, fresh fruit, a croissant and a hard boiled egg). You can pick from any or choose all of these items. You also have a choice of three different cereals and a beverage (ex: tea, coffee, OJ). The bathroom was large with a shower and tub option. We enjoyed cheese, crackers and a glass of wine (offered between 4:30-6:00 in the lobby). No complaints here! We loved our stay ❤️

Very disappointed !! For the price that we paid. This room was very outdated. When I first got there, refrigerator door was broken how to have them come fix it. The plumbing was horrible when using the bathroom toilet did not flush properly. Tiny little sink with no counter space to put our stuff away. No water pressure very little to none. Scratches on the bathroom wall lots of scuffs. Breakfast was not good not a lot of selection. I will not be staying there again.

Right on the water at the end of Cannery Row. Corner room was fantastic. Make use of the valet parking. Staff was very helpful. Delightful little beach (McAbee Beach) on the back side of the hotel. Great view of Monterey Bay! Corner room has two long window seats (rooms 407, 307, 207).

Overpriced for the average person
We have been staying here for about 5-6 years when we visit, however this will be the last due to the outrageous price increase. It’s no longer affordable for the average individual. In addition now you have to pay extra for parking. Sadly disappointed in the establishment.

Charming Cannery Row Hotel
We had a lovely room with fireplace and comfy armchairs. The king bed was very comfortable and we felt like we had plenty of room for our 3 night stay. We did have a problem with our shower but didn’t ask for maintenance. The hotel needs updating but it is charming the way it is and they have added nice touches like the wine and snacks offering in the late afternoon as well as complimentary continental breakfast brought to your room every morning!

Beautiful hotel with breathtaking views. Valet and room service were very nice, however the young lady that helped check in, was demanding instead of friendly and hospitable. For a slit second made me rethink if I wanted to stay there. Once I looked beyond that experience I was very pleased with my stay here!

The inn is an older hotel, with no real private parking in the area. The hotel offers Valet service at $30 dollars per night, which is not terrible compared to the location. Everything is acceptable being directly on cannary road. The only thing is that it’s warm, no where on the website does it mention that they have no A/C. Being an older location it would be understandable but be up front about it. I would probably stay elsewhere next time due to some hotels offering self parking at a cheaper rate. The money you save for the room compared to the rest its not worth it compared to the accessibility of the others and newer rooms.
