A bit expensive but it was worth it.
The Inn's location is great and the room was beautiful. The room had beautiful courtyard access. Definitely coming back here.

2/10 Poor

Worst bed ever. Moldy room.
Shockingly bad motel type place in poor area of Monterey. Online pictures are deceptive. Just don't go here.

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!

Great location near old downtown and the wharf. Our room was super clean, and beautifully furnished. Great FREE WiFi, friendly staff, breakfast included and parking on the premises were some of the positives of this place. Will definitely book again when we’re in Monterey!

10/10 Exceptional

Great option for a stay in Monterey! The room is charming and we loved the details of the French door, fireplace and skylight. Comfortable and clean with great service from the staff. Breakfast was such a great perk and the staff kept it stocked and ready. Walking distance to the wharf and the downtown area for food and drinks. Could walk to the cannery but chose to drive. Would definitely stay here again!

Room is clean and nice. But design could be improved. Insufficient hangers in the room or toilet to hang dry towel. Breakfast so so only.

We had an issue with our hire car & the reception staff went above & beyond to help us - letting us use their phone repeatedly. They also came up to our room several times to let us know when we had a call. Huge thanks to Carla I think her name was

6/10 Good

Breakfast was very basic. Limited capacity for seating. Very limited selection. We arrived for breakfast one morning and there was barely anything left, nothing was replaced. The staff at breakfast were not particularly welcoming. Rooms although spotlessly clean, were very dark and the hairdryer was useless!

I can’t wait to go back! It was cleaning, it was well decorated and the staff was exceptionally helpful! Loved how convenient it was to downtown Monterey. Easy to park as long as you get there early. The only thing that was lacking was the breakfast but they make it very clear that it is not a warm breakfast.
