    It was unusually warm and we were not able to control the climate settings for our attic room. So, it was stuffy and warm at night. We also found the bathroom to be a bit smelly, but we do acknowledge its age and the warm temperature in our room. I'm not sure if it was unclean or if it perhaps needs a little nip/tuck ;)

    This historic home has been beautifully cared for; it is in an excellent location - we walked to all the historic places and eateries; bed and breakfasts have an old time charm, one of them being you are encouraged to interact with the other guests - the travelers we met here were interesting; The gardens and outdoor seating spots are lovely; the staff were professional and friendly. Breakfast and cocktail hour were presented beautifully, adding to the charm of this Inn.

    The front door didn't like me. But there was always someone to rescue me.

    The location, the gardens, the room, the breakfast, the evening wine and cheese, but most of all - the people.

    Somehow I booked my reservation for 2025 and not 2024. Old Monterey Inn was able to accommodate us. Wendy, running the inn, was kind in our situation. I would stay again. Great location, romantic indoors and outdoors. Breakfast was wonderful. Loved talking without guests.

    Breakfast choice was limited and not to our taste (very sweet and high calorie)

    Very cosy and homely; beautiful garden and peaceful setting for a good night’s rest; we loved the communal breakfast dining and met some lovely people during our stay; the afternoon wine and snacks was great (such good wine choices!); Wendy is an amazing and welcoming hostess

    I really can’t say anything bad about this property. There were a couple things that perhaps they could attend to with maintenance but nothing that was too big of a deal. Cushions could’ve been put onto the chairs that are outside and there was a large bee nest on the peak of the garage. None of these things affected us though and for all the good at this property it’s hardly worth talking about anything negative.

    This was an incredible bed-and-breakfast. The staff treated us like royalty and had a fire in the fireplace when we entered our room. It was so cozy and inviting. The food was incredible as well!

    I’m struggling to think of what could have been better as it was at a standard expected for what we paid and as mentioned above thought had been put into a lot of things to make you feel welcomed. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Thank you!

    The accommodation was just what we were looking for. The hospitality and welcome was exceptional. We were sorry we weren’t able to stay for breakfast as we had to leave earlier than 9am but thank you so much for the lovely goody bag (lovely muffins) that we took with us along with some freshly brewed coffee in a travel cup. Everything at The Inn has been carefully thought out to make customers feel welcome.

    Did not see mention that the Inn only served vegetarian cuisine. It worked out just fine but that would have been helpful info.
