Great location within walking distance of most Monterey attractions

The atmosphere in the hotel is nice. The hotel is not new, but clean and well located. The team is nice as well. Try the fireplace. Easy to maintain and a very nice add-on.

The photos are a bit misleading, this is a building which is not part of the hotel where guests stay. The rooms are in a motel-like building in the back.

Nice little room, clean and complete. Very friendly staff (they brought a bag I forgot during check in). Good location.

The mattress was too hard, so it was hard to sleep.

The location was perfect, as we walked to the museum and downtown to shop and have dinner. The young lady at the front desk was exceptionally kind, professional and accomodating.

There was a lot of noise early in the morning, like a leaf blower or lawn mower. The beds did not seem like king size, they were more like queen.

The hotel was very pretty and it was in a great location. The staff was very friendly.

Noises

Very clean and beautiful

Could use an extra blanket for each bed. Only 1 was available. The desk staff brought an extra blanket upon request. A mirror in the living area would be nice instead of just in the bathroom.

Lovely in town oasis and walking distance to the Warf.

The exterior needs work. For the price paid, pulling up to the hotel and walking to room was a disappointment. Luckily the room itself was great. Continental breakfast...not great, again for price paid

The room was great except the corner of the rug going from bedroom area to bathroom is a tripping hazard. Should be fixed The fireplace w complimentary log super bonus.

**Breakfast:** The breakfast provided was unsatisfactory. **Accommodations:** The beds were hard and uncomfortable. **Accessibility:** There was no elevator available.

My husband and I recently visited the Merrit House Hotel from April 11 to April 14, 2025, for a three-day stay. As frequent visitors to Monterey, having experienced at least ten different hotels in the area, we found the Merrit House Hotel to be particularly enjoyable. The room we stayed in was clean and beautifully maintained. The complimentary breakfast, while satisfactory, consisted of boiled eggs, cereal, oatmeal, small muffins, danishes, coffee, and tea. A notable advantage of the hotel is its proximity to Rosine’s Restaurant, which offers delicious food and is within walking distance. Overall, we can confidently say that the Merrit House Hotel is our favorite among the various places we've stayed in Monterey. However, there are a couple of drawbacks to note: the beds were quite firm, there are no elevators to access the upper floors, and the breakfast selection could be improved. Rooms: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5

Pillows were not good and smelled of BO. The bed (mattress) was very high and it took effort to get into it. (I'm 5'5")

Room was nicely decorated with a fireplace. Staff friendly. Breakfast was a very good continental, with a variety of options including cereal, in a nice breakfast room. Great location within 5 minute walk to convention center. Handicap parking right outside my room. French doors out to the patio of my ground floor room. Large desk and chair for sitting.

Street noise at times.

Breakfast was wonderful.

Single-use plastic containers for toiletries in the bathroom, and a bit of a motel vibe. The price we paid for the night (well over $200) was high for what this was.

The room and bathroom were large, with a fireplace and refrigerator. We were in the back and upstairs, and it was quiet - which was nice. Shower was large with good pressure; breakfast had several options, including boiled eggs, different breads, breakfast pastries and fruit. Best of all, nothing was plastic or paper - all real crockery and cutlery.

Quite close to the main road so not as quiet as you’d like when waking up

Great location, log fire was really nice and staff were very good

A little bit dated. Pictures should cover all exterior. Current one only covers the prettiest building.

High ceiling, clean. Good location.

Parking and one way in and out without much space

Coffee outside and location

Parking was a problem. Very difficult to get in and out with limited space to turn around and maneuver.

Paying for parking.

Location was close to things we wanted to see. The room was very nice, clean and quaint. Breakfast was good!

We could have done with some thicker curtains over our front door, as we just had net curtains for privacy, but that’s just a small thing.

It had a lovely look and feel to it. Great location. Our room was beautiful and a lovely size with everything we needed. Very pleased.
