Cute, clean, safe
We stayed at this hotel for our first night away as parents. We loved the location we were able to walk everywhere on cannery row and were able to drive off easily to other parts of town. Front desk was friendly and helpful, we were able to check in early which was nice. We were on the 4th floor and felt like we had the place to ourselves. I loved the security features on the elevator to get to and from. The room was clean and well kept. My only concern was the fridge didnt feel very cold and I dont think the windows were sitting right. The one in the bathroom I could see had a gap from the window to the frame and the ones in the room wiggled in the frame and there was a lot of condensation on the windows in the morning. Other than that i feel like i had a great experience and would come back again.

Nice Monterey hotel
Great hotel in fantastic spot in Monterey just steps from Cannery Row! Nice rooms, reasonably priced and super nice staff. I’m glad to see now that it’s changed from the Otter Inn (which we used to enjoy) it’s still a very nice place to stay, and the upgrades are a big improvement.

The location is great - within walking distance to just about everything. The inside of the property is dated and needs a face lift. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.

The Wave Street Inn is ideally located a few walkable blocks from Cannery Row, the Monterey Bay waterfront, the aquarium, and more. Its rooms are well maintained and clean, with comfortable beds and linens. Covered parking is available at ground level for an additional charge.

Just a 2 day getaway... Like they say... location, location, location.The hotel is fine... The lady that checked us in was nice and helpful. The hoteCould use a deep cleaning... The carpet was a little dirty... Decorative pillows too ... But you can literally walk to pretty much anywhere on Cannery Row

The property is one street from Cannery Row. The staff was very friendly. Overall the property was clean and presented accurately. We could not hear our neighbors on either side of us, but you could hear people walking on the floor above.
