We very much enjoyed our two night stay at the Old Monterey Inn. The rooms and grounds are well maintained, and the new owners went out of their way to welcome us. The breakfast each morning was freshly cooked, hot, and most tasty. The first day it was described as an asparagus frittata but when served it was really an... More

My husband and I enjoyed everything about this wonderful place! From the beginning, I found the Innkeeper Katy very helpful. I called asking a few questions before booking and she seemed genuinely warm and sincere. I could sense right away that we would be taken care of and have a great experience at this place. When we arrived, we were... More

We would second the many favorable reviews of the Old Monterey Inn, based on our first stay. The rooms and common areas are extremely attractive, breakfasts and wine/cheese offerings are very tasty, and the grounds are well-kept, spacious, and lovely. Katy and Lawrence are excellent innkeepers--very personable and welcoming, and pay attention to detail. The inn is an excellent base... More

What a great B&B! We got in pretty late, but the innkeeper was still around and greeted us with a glass of wine. The room (The Library) was cozy, with windows on three sides and a great fireplace and, of course, a wide variety of reading material. We were there 3 nights; breakfast was amazing every day. We didn't always... More

We just returned from our second stay at the Old Monterey Inn. The ambiance captures the heart from the impeccably maintained house and classic gardens to the personal care for each guest. No attention to detail was spared. Perfect in every respect. More

Me and my husband just came back from our stay at the Old Monterrey Inn for our anniversary. We got an upgrade to the Brightstone Suite, and the tub by the fireplace was more than perfect!! We had wine and cheese in the evening, took a cab to Cannery Row for dinner ($ 8 dollars each way, by the way),... More

We have stayed in Monterey often, but this was our first stay at Old Monterey Inn in Nov, 2011. The Chawton room was small and intimate with our own private entrance. The room included a gas fireplace, and a large 2-person jacuzzi tub. The full gourmet breakfast was certainly a highlight. We were also surprised to find 2PM cookies and... More

Hubby and I just had 2 wonderfully indulgent nights here. We were in Chawton room and it was picture perfect in every way. Fireplace, double jacuzzi bath, incredibly comfortable bed. Bathrobes that we couldn't bear to take off on the first night so we grabbed some yoghurt from the complimentary guest fridge and stayed in our room. The complimentary wine... More

Old Monterey Inn delivered with a huge punch!! We were spoiled the minute we walked in. Every encounter with the staff and proprietors was super positive. True to their word they upgraded us to an available cottage that had not been booked, awsome. They provided turn down service nightly, coffee service in the morning with the newspaper followed by a... More
