Will come back AGAIN!

This was an awesome stay. I’ve stayed here once before, and was so glad I had the same good experience. Staff was super friendly, room was super great and cozy. Clean, updated and in a GREAT location. I can’t recommend this place enough, it was extremely walkable and the parking was awesome.

10/10 Exceptional

Nice but I love a good Breakfast

Room was beautiful and comfortable. It was decorated nicely. The room had a fireplace and the hotel provided a Presto log Our room had a Nautical Theme. There was a beautiful courtyard each room on our floor had a small patio. The shower was very nice for a tall person So the remodeling job added nice update. The inly drawback for me was the quality of yhe Continental breakfast was lacking. We expected more high end pastries and breads or muffins. They only had vanilla yogurt, the bananas were over ripe and there were no juice options only Coffee, Tea and Milk. The milk was for the cereal so wasn't meant to be a breakfast beverage.

One of the finest hotels that we have experienced in Monterey. Everything about this hotel is “Top Notch!” Thanks to the entire hotel staff for an outstanding experience. This was our 2nd time at this location. Looking forward to our next visit.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Liked the historic building and mission furnishings, spacious rooms, breakfast, and proximity to pier and old Monterey landmarks. On-site parking wasn’t a problem, perhaps because it was winter and our car is compact.

Diane, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My wife and I stayed for a few nights and we really enjoyed our time. The staff is super nice and helpful the rooms are really neat and has a charm and character. The location is so nice and convenient within walking distance to fisherman’s wharf and the down town area. Although it is very centrally located there is a certain awe to an almost hidden driveway that takes you away from the business.

Great location, lots of dining options nearby. Across the street from the Monterey Convention Center.

The woman working the lobby was kind, cheerful and very accommodating. The property itself it a little old fashioned- areas of it are darling while other parts feel a bit sketch. Very convenient location to shops and restaurants, many with in walking distance.

Wonderful Hotel!

We love Merritt House! Lovely front desk employees welcome you, and the property is so compact and beautifully landscaped. Once we found our room, we were delighted by the decor, and especially the very updated carpet and shower. The bed was sooo comfortable and we slept wonderfully. It was a relaxing New Years Eve and we loved every minute of our trip. Also, it's so handy that it's close to many fabulous restaurants that are in walking distance. Thank you, Merritt House!
