An absolutely beautiful inn with fantastic, caring staff. We had the most wonderful time at the Old Monterey Inn. We were made to feel so welcome from the moment we arrived, until the time we left. Everything from the furniture, the luxurious bedding, to the thoughtful necessities in the bathroom, to the relaxing cheese n wine happy hour at 4pm each day is done to the highest standard. The dining room is exquisite and the breakfasts are extremely tasty. There was plenty of parking space even when the inn was booked to capacity, and there was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere every day. We were in town as part of our 10th wedding anniversary trip and our time at the Inn was one of the highlights of our trip. Its the little touches like having tea/coffee and biscuits available in the lobby 24hrs a day, and the fridge stocked with yogurt, water and soft drinks specifically for guest use. I noticed some guests using it to keep beer and wine cold. We had a fantastic time here, and were extremely touched with the beautiful little Christmas ornament we were given for our anniversary. We will most definitely come back here and highly recommend it.

My daughter and I stayed two nights (not long enough). The Inn is so beautiful and our room was so comfortable and lovely. The grounds are beautiful and Martha who was so wonderful with our check-in and breakfast. We recommend breakfast in the beautiful dining room with delicious food and fireplace. In the afternoon wine and cheese is served in the living room area also with a fireplace on. We will always stay here from now on!

We were very happy and comfortable with the property, service, and breakfast. The disappointment came a few weeks afterward when I realized I had left my jewelry bag in the room. I called and was told that they keep items for 90 days, then that they must have donated it because they didn’t have it. Given the price of the accommodation I would have expected a courtesy call or email to let me know they had found a bag of jewelry left behind. It was my mistake to have left it but I remain very disappointed they did not reach out.

Love this place! This is our go-to lodging in the Monterey-Carmel area. Wendy and her crew are the friendliest innkeepers you could want. We have stayed three times since 2021, each time in the Cottage, a small separate building near the main house. It has a living room and sitting room separated by an arch. There's a gas fireplace in the sitting area and a huge jacuzzi tub. The toilet room, which is where the shower is, is *tiny*; that's the only drawback. The morning crew brought us breakfast at the cottage every day. Great breakfasts that managed to stay hot despite the distance from the kitchen. Otherwise there is a big dining table in the dining room in the house. Wine in the evening (we didn't attend). The house looks like an old English country estate. It's an historic property about a 15 minute walk from FIsherman's Wharf, which keeps it close to everything but away from the noise of downtown. The cottage was very quiet. We hope we will be able to enjoy many stays there!

The Old Monterey Inn is a hidden treasure tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Our room was comfortable, and we loved the delicious breakfast served in the beautiful dining room. A lush garden surrounds the property adding ambiance to the Inn. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Cheese and wine are provided between 16:00 and 18:00 each day which added a wonderful touch to our stay. We will be back.
