Stayed here for a night on a spontaneous trip to Monterey -- I have to echo what the other reviewers said, the location is fantastic. We walked everywhere -- didn't need to use the car at all. Our room was very nice, high vaulted ceilings, fireplace, and a nice n' cozy bed. We simply asked the front desk for a... More

We arrived early and were graciously given our room by a friendly gentelman. The room was well appointed with a nice fireplace and outside shared terrace. Our breakfast was more than adequate and the hostess gave us great recommendations on things to do and drives that gave us a spectacular view of the area. Our only complaint was that our... More

We were driving round looking for a place to stop before flying home from SF the next day. We took a chance and pulled in here and didn't regret it for a minute. Edmund was on duty and he was really helpful with dining suggestions. Our room was no 20 - and it was lovely. Fabulous bed - enormous and... More

Room: 3 Location: 5 I gave Merritt House a 3, but I think there is a TON of potential for this place to be a 4 with a little work-- at least speaking specifically about room #8 where I stayed. The space was large, and loved that the vaulted ceilings made it feel even larger. However, the room could use... More

I had a room in the non-historic part on the ground floor. The color scheme was modern with Asian pieces, the room and mini fridge were clean. The biggest downsides were the lack of a makeup mirror on the otherwise awesomely spacious vanity, and the irritatingly loud bathroom fan, which automatically turned on with the light. The room could have... More

This was a very nice room that we stayed in while we were exploring Northern Cal. The room we stayed in had at least 10 ft ceilings, lots of room, nicely decorated, very clean. The Inn is right in Downtown Monterey just blocks from Fisherman's Wharf. Service was good, though our WiFi was down one of the days. The breakfast... More

Stayed here as part of a month long trip to CA. Always wanted to visit Monterey but found finding accomodation difficult and what was available was very expensive. Managed to book two rooms at the Merritt Inn in advance and received nice welcome from the proprietor on arrival. "Are you here for the Moto GP?" he asked. I had no... More

Our stay was pretty confortable. Edmund at the reception has been simply amazing. He suggested us lots of things to do and restaurants, and we must sat that following his hints was worthy. Monterey is not a very cool place, but if you are forced to spend a night in this town because of the aquarium do it in this... More

Stained carpets, microwave was not included as the website described... room was freezing when we got back from daily activities. Don't bring a large vehicle... very little room to maneuver. A fire place is available, if you bring your own wood. Outside of Monterey, CA I would say it was a $80 Hotel... Garden outside is marvelous and well kept. More

we stayed here because of the price & location from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. While other hotels & B&Bs were in the $200 & up range. We got a great deal for our room when I called them directly. The room was very cozy & clean. I would say the beds were more comfortable than many large chain hotels I've... More
