Great getaway for those that need one. The only downfall to the whole hotel is there’s no air-conditioning but they do offer an oscillating fan. Very convenient to walk to shops, local eateries and the Monterey Bay aquarium.

Well located for access to Cannery Row, Aquarium and waterfront trails. Parking 19$ per day extra but convenient and secure. Room was comfortable and quiet and housekeeping efficient . Continental breakfast best we have experienced in a week in the Carmel/Monterey area...freshly cooked omelettes and a variety of fruit etc options.

Mold in the shower, grout needed to be redone, big piece of wood cut out, wood was nicked and scratched up everywhere. It was noisy from upstairs, and next door. Very expensive considering this. Fridge was not very cold and a tech guy replaced it late and that was great! It was wonderful having breakfast, The sausage was good quality and loved the So Deliscious yogurt. That made up for the negative. Worse was the filthy dirty, moldy, bacteria and parasite ridden pillows!!!! They should all be thrown out and not replaced, It was so gross having them next to the clean pillows.

Friendly, but needs some updates.

First thing I will say, the staff and housekeeping are some of the friendliest and most caring I’ve ever experienced in my travels. They’re so sweet. If you’re bringing a dog, regardless of service animal or not, expect the “pet friendly rooms” that smell awful. Carpet was ripped, stained, the whole room reeked. I asked to switch and they gladly accommodated me with a non carpeted room, 10000x better and even seemed more clean all around. But why even give anyone that room? It’s disgusting. Another negative is the shared balconies. I want to enjoy my own space, not share it with someone else. Pics do not show that aspect. Beds are decent, not the best but not the worst. Will probably stay elsewhere next visit, thank you for accommodating me though.

Great Hospitality

We feel like a guests at the Victorian Inn. The staff are welcoming and we love the cheese and wine time. It’s the perfect snack before we head out for the evening after a day of exploring Monterey and Carmel. The breakfast is fantastic! We recommend this place to our friends and this is the only place we’ll stay when we visit Monterey!
