Pro: The sheets are clean and adequate. Checkin and checkout was fast. The staff gave us tootbrush and paste because we forgot to bring our suitcase. Frige and microwave working. Con: The front desk is being renovated so we did not even seee what the front looks like. TV was not working so I tried to call the front desk. Phone has no dial tone. So I call using my iphone, left a message since nobody was answering. They sent a maintenance guy and the tv was turn on. Coffee maker is not working; I told it to the staff on checkout. Answer was nonchalant okay. AC turns off and on often enough and is very noisy. read more

A lot of the room was in disrepair. Seat cushion were stained AND ripped. Carpets were dirty or stained. A lot of cosmetic issues throughout the room including plaster smudges and stains on patio. The air around the hotel smelled absolutely terrible as though a plumbing issue occurred (and I know it wasn't the sea air). Difficulty with wifi, never got it to connect, tried password several times. I will say the staff was wonderful, helpful, and did their best. Coffee machine worked, bed was soft, and parking was easy. ** Can't say enough about how helpful staff was, which was the saving grace of the stay entirely.** I would recommend rebuilding the entire structure and keeping staff. The cost for the place was too high for all the issues I found. I would suggest dropping that to reflect something closer to the roach motels near seaside. The cost is deceptive because it is closer than it should be to the much nicer places immediately near the hotel. I really could go on and on, but I have other things to do... read more

For what they charge the rooms should be upgraded. I feel like I downgraded staying here. I am only giving it two stars for the location and the bed... Surprisingly the bed was comfortable. Other than that the carpet was falling apart there was a disgusting chair in the room when we got there and they expected us to put our stuff on there. We had to call the front desk to come take that god-awful chair out of our room. Although they did come in to clean the room I can guarantee you they did not change the bedding because I purposely left a black lint on the corner of the bed and when I came back The bed was made and that black lint was still there. There was also a musky scent in the room. I swear I felt like I was staying in some kind of motel. You would think they would have pride and upgrade the end. We stayed there from Thursday until Sunday morning and paid $800! For $200 more I am pretty sure we could've stayed across the street. Run. Pics of the chair and the room are attached! read more

Nice central location by the sea, pleasant view. etc. Reportedly owned by some Indians. Rooms look clean, however you may face some charming surprises and kinks: - plumbing - the toilet and the sink may or may not be fully clogged - a shabby, banging elevator (promised to be fixed one day) - the room phone may or may not work - you better rely on your own cellphone if you have one. - chamber maids - the two we encountered obviously can't comprehend English but habitually utter "yes" with or without reason. - The heater/fan in the room may or may not be noisy. If you decide to address some of the irregularities you'll face the specimen of a hotel manager with a permanent (fake) smile and mumbling "yes" but not doing anything. An easy going fella, this Manager D. known in the neighborhood as the mama's boy. The bright spot in the Inn are the receptionist girls, but they can't do much due to the leadership of above mentioned half asleep mama's boy (The Manager D.). AN IMPORTANT THING - beware the coffee machine in the room. Before making coffee, test the machine by heating water without coffee. Most likely will get hot water with foul stench of burned plastic. Reason - the machine is cheap and very old and old plastic parts are badly baked off. The coffee machine should be trashed immediately, but not in the sleepy Cannery Row Inn... Use the room coffee machine at your own risk! Overall - the Cannery Row Inn will be right and proper in, say, some Mumbai suburb or if you are person who has never experienced a real hotel... Enjoy Cannery Row Inn, folks! read more

We were looking for some place close to Cannery Row and tried this place out. Not bad in price. Beds are comfortable. Our room was cleaned every day. Towels were really thin. If you need more than one you should ask while they have help. Parking is free but tight spots. There is an elevator to get to all levels which is really nice. If you pay for ocean room it seems bigger than the street facing rooms Our room had its age evident The hair dryer had cracks in it. The shower head could not fully flow since the knob on the faucet didn't fully extend up. I had water flowing through the faucet and through then shower head. There was repaired damage around the room that was clearly done by someone taking short cuts. No electrical outlet in the bathroom area. I like to put a night light in the bathroom so I can see at night without turning on the bathroom/fan on. It does get noisy due to the trolley coming through and from the park and from the pedestrian and bike trail. I enjoyed sitting on the tiny deck and people watching There was no power yesterday to this building(08/30/23). Staff did not say why the power was out and It lasted for a few hours. We went to Cannery Row since it starts the next street down. We like walking up and down Cannery Row. read more

Do not be fooled by the rating online. The beds are not comfortable at all and the office and rooms smell of weed. Not to mention how loud it was in the hotel being by the street. read more

Do yourself a favor and find another place to stay!!!Litany of issues: terrible old dank smelling room, Moldy, dirty, sink doesn't drain, pilly sheets, banging noises. The place should be torn down. Seriously. read more

We just returned from our stay at Cannery Row Inn. We stayed in room 114. It was close to the elevator and office and we were able to see our vehicle from the door way. Nice sitting area outside the sliding door. I was a bit surprised that the clerk asked for my CC on arrival as I had paid in full. She said it was for "incidentals" which was explained as broken, dirty or damaged items in room after checking out. As a 73 old lady staying with a grandchild, I was pretty sure we weren't going to have a raving party and destroy anything. Trolley stop right at the corner of Foam so it was easy to get to attractions. We walked to Aquarium and though it was a hike for this old lady, it wasn't bad. We would stay here again. read more

I was a long time resident of Monterey and recently relocated to another state, for many years I'd drive past Cannery Row Inn and I always wondered what it was like. I came back to visit my son and booked a King Room at the last minute for 3 nights and I was blown away by the price, very affordable, the location is absolutely PERFECT!!! Parking is at no charge which is amazing in itself, the room I was given had thee most spectacular views of Monterey Bay, everyday the sun was out and the weather was simply gorgeous. The rooms are nice and clean, my bed was super comfy. I have discovered that room 120 is the best location, mine was 116 but it seems 120 would have the best views. Thank you for an amazing stay and I will be back very soon read more

Location was ideal. Fairly short walk to both Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row. The room was clean. Big rooms with a fridge and freezer, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, big TV. We weren't able to test the wifi as we forgot to check the password before leaving our parking pass on the car Check in could've been better. Nothing wrong on their end and we sincerely appreciate them holding a room for us as we arrived about 2 hours after we expected to. They fixed the issue promptly. The room was facing the road and had a balcony I wasn't aware of. Sort of a nice surprise. Still nothing to write home about, considering the price of the room. A bit overpriced but the location almost makes up for it. Solid stay if you're not planning to spend much time in the room. read more

Likely the worst experience I've ever had with a hotel. Booked on a hotel website based on proximity to the aquarium. Got stuck in traffic and called several times to let them know we were running late. Receptionist kept picking up the phone and hanging it up. Several times. She finally answered rudely and put us on hold. We were in hold approximately 20 minutes before giving up. A couple hours later, we tried to call again. Several hangups again. Finally, the receptionist answered but refused to give us a name. This is where the fun begins. The receptionist proceeded to have a mental breakdown on the phone. Crying and saying she just got out of the hospital. I didn't know they close at 11 and GPS said 1110pm. She then cancelled our reservation despite me telling me we had a four hour trip, road construction every where and had our 9 year old daughter with us. Now it's 11pm and we're calling around trying to frantically find a hotel. Then, the receptionist calls us back and apologizes. She says she can stay the 10 minutes as long as we didn't leave a bad review and I gave her $20 cash. I told her I didn't have cash so she told me to stop at a gas station to get cash for her. So now I'm basically being extorted to be able to get our hotel room. She then called back again and asked me not to file a complaint with her manager because she can't afford to lose her job but then also proceeded to tell me that her manager already knew everything that was going on. Then decided she'd still stay for us. Then, she called back and left me the most ridiculously hilarious voicemail stating the manager of the property told her not to stay for us and to have a good night. I don't know if the manager said that, but the manager definitely hired someone unstable for this position. I wouldn't even stay at this property for free giving the instability and unprofessionalism of this employee. I wouldn't even stay here if the employee wasn't working here as the manager clearly has poor decision making abilities. I have so much more to say about this but my thumbs are tired from typing all this. read more

Had all we needed. Clean. No frills. Mostly quiet. Right on Cannery Row - walked everywhere we wanted to go. Lots of joggers, walkers, skaters. Area very busy on Father's Day, but a happy, family-oriented kind of busy. Desk staff not particularly friendly, but got the job done. Housekeepers good. Enjoyed our balcony view. read more

BEWARE! Within a few days of staying at the Inn, my credit card was used multiple times online. While I have no proof it was someone at the INN, I called multiple times and asked to have the Owner/Manager contact me. I have yet to receive a phone call. read more

Where to begin? This is the most disappointing hotel I've been to. The lady behind the desk is what you call unprofessional at best. Room keys weren't working, towels were dirty. No compensation whatsoever even though we had to rearrange and cancel our plans in order to return to get a working key. This was happening with every guest, shame on them for having such high prices and only having one machine to make keys! The audacity of the lady to call and tell us we had to be back since she wanted to leave and no one would be present to let us in. Really? I think not. And when we informed her of dirty towels she argued and said we were in a "clean room." Exactly the point. A "clean" room. Needless to say I will never recommend or stay here again. read more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cannery Row Inn! * The fireplace in the room was my favorite thing. * Bed was comfy. TV a little small, but whatayagonnado. We had a mini fridge and a microwave. Clutch. * Continental breakfast is sufficient, and they let my husband bring a tray to me to the room... nice! * There is coffee and hot water/tea bags available all the time in the lobby. MAN did we utilize that lil' feature. * SO close to Cannery Row, very easily within walking distance of shops and aquarium. * The bathroom was a little small, and the paint could have looked a little fresher... but that's being picky. Hey, it's not the Hilton, but it's WAY above Motel 6. Charming and comfortable. Verdict: I would absolutely recommend this place, and would stay here again. read more

I booked two rooms for the first weekend of March 2022. Unfortunately I had to cancel the week before. They said no problem I even got a confirmation email. The date came around that originally we had the reservation they called me and said where was I... I said I canceled last week and they said OK no problem. I was charged $279. I have called almost every day to try to talk to the manager named Paul. I did speak with him two or three times and he told me he Returned the funds. There is no record of it . I still Am trying to get a hold of him. No luck . Leaves me no option to dispute it through my credit card. Really horrible business... read more

We went here during Thanksgiving break and I was quite pleased with the place. The first time we walked in I thought we might be in trouble. The lobby was tiny and the place looked like it might be on the dumpier side. First impressions were totally wrong though. It was clear the motel had received a recent, fairly nice upgrade. The room was a good size, and very clean. Everything worked just fine. No issues at all. The place was also very quiet. You receive a complimentary breakfast, which wasn't great to be honest (Costco muffins, cereals to choose from, coffee, milk, orange juice, toast etc). But heck, it's free. They also maintain a coffee thermos in the lobby at all times. Or anyways, it was there when we checked in in the afternoon. There is a very pleasant outdoor seating area right off the lobby so you can eat your breakfast there if you choose. This is the best priced place in Monterey. At least for being fairly close to all the action. The main part of Cannery Row is a few blocks away, but still walkable even with small children. Our 6 year old was able to make it to and from without a problem. For the price, you have a great deal. read more

My family and I stayed her May 7th through the 9th of 2021. We checked into our room and I could not stop smelling what I believed to be vomit. I was right...it was vomit. And it was not properly cleaned. When I confronted the manager PAUL, he replied "I can't smell it." He then proceeded to offer me a coffee keurig cup and told me to put it on the wet spot for the smell. I couldn't believe this was happening. My two year old toddler was stepping in the wet throw up spot to get into our bed and it worried me since we are still currently in a pandemic. The ladies there were helpful, but I couldn't help feeling treated badly after that for complaining to the staff. But I would do it again if it came down to protecting my son from sleeping in a throw up room. They ended up moving us into a new room the next day but the whole situation could have and should have been handled better. read more

Great location! Clean rooms and super friendly staff. A bit high in price but it's Monterey and we were just a few feet away from the ocean. Overall a great family place to stay. Close to all the restaurants and shopping which was a plus. read more

BOOK AT OWN RISK! Had to put one star just to post...but 0-STARS FROM ME. Booked on June-18 for a July-7&8 stay. Canceled on June-20 because of a unforseen financial family emergency with settling my dead brothers estate, and they charged anyway. Canceled over two weeks before our stay date! They did not honor their own cancellation policy! Said "we didn't confirm your cancellation". Not that they didn't receive it, but didn't confirm. We have emails proving cancellation was sent. One hell of a way to make money. Had plans to go back, several times, to visit local family and sites, but will NEVER STAY THERE! read more

This isn't so much an inn but more of a motel. The air conditioning unit's thermostat isn't accurate. Keeping it at 62 got us closer to 70 degrees. Good location. Don't think we'd stay there again. read more

Did not even provide toilet paper. Checked into our room, half a roll, and was not able to contact the front desk. They suck ass.

If you're a light sleeper, do not stay at the cannery row inn. The ac/heater wall unit is extremely loud so I didn't turn it on but then you can hear everyone else's around you who is using theirs. Very thin walls so you hear everything from the surrounding rooms - TVs, heaters, faucets, toilets. The floor of the bathroom was very cold to stand on and the water pressure of the shower is non existent. Benefit of the place is the location. read more

This place is in very close proximity to everything. The room was extremely clean, affordable and quiet. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. I will be returning to this location. read more

Meh... Perhaps i expect too much for the $ it costs to stay. But this place is sub-par for the $. The place used to do the breakfast here ( which was great) but seems that management decided to trim another feature and amenity to save s few bucks. Sux bc i think that was only thing going for this place besides the great location. read more

I was a little apprehensive after reading reviews and making an impulse purchase for a few nights stay. The price was insanely good and with it being on the end of Cannery Row, I felt like I had made a good choice and luckily, the inn didn't disappoint! The staff was very friendly, the room was clean and quaint. We didn't anticipate spending too much time in the room anyway with being walking distance to eateries and shops but when we were in the room, we were comfortable and had no issues with the bathroom amenities, the wall a/c or the TV. The bathroom was well upgraded so that was a nice surprise and something we didn't expect. While our balcony faced the street, when the sliding door was completely shut, you couldn't hear any street noise. The room we stayed in was almost too quiet so I definitely had to turn on the a/c fan just to add some background noise as a personal preference. Another nice touch was that they called our room to ask if we needed turn down service which I appreciated as opposed to someone knocking on our door asking. There are also vending machines which were helpful on our late nights back when we craved some snacks. It was so nice being in walking distance of the aquarium and the beach! We definitely did a ton of walking and were overall very happy with our stay! We will gladly stay again! read more

Not really what I was expecting.. way over priced . Plus web site Advertises they have breakfast and they don't. The only thing they offer is coffee from 7-10 am that's it's. Sorry we won't be returning read more

My boyfriend and I had a really great time in the Cannery Row Inn. The room was affordable for the view. We had an ocean view and paid $143 in total including taxes and fees. Without the view was just $99. It's walking distance from everything in Cannery Row. Caitlyn checked us in and she was so sweet and accommodating. Parking is free so that is a huge plus. Highly recommend! We will be back. read more

Like others. Giving one, because I can't give zero. This place is shady as F***. I originally tried to make a reservation through their website.It wouldn't work and no confirmation. I went through a 3rd party site and book through there, instantly received a confirmation. FFWD to the day we arrive. I received a call from a lady telling me my card wouldn't go through. Gave her another card. Upon arrival everything is fine at first until they tell me I have 2 reservations and to check and make sure I was not charged. I checked my account and I had. He told me the "manager" would call me the next day. Never did. Called and the same lady all of the sudden had all the answers. We she said the best she could do was refund for one night, not both. I was fine with that. Happy medium right? Wrong! 2 weeks later and I'm still fighting. They are rude, lie and it's an all around crappy place. I've never been treated so poorly. Save yourself the headache read more

Our stay at this hotel was great. The staff were friendly and the room was cozy. The location is right by a small beach and a few restaurants. The fridge was so cold it froze our food, but that was the closest thing to an issue we had and it's not even a huge deal. Folks around the area almost all wore masks so it was nice to see so many taking covid seriously as well. read more

The only plus of this hotel is it's location. You can walk to Cannery Row and parking is free with your stay. There's a fireplace that we didn't use. The rooms had a really loud wall unit that helped keep the room cool during unseasonably warm weather. The rooms are small and look like they had a bad remodel, the restroom is tiny, and the beds aren't comfortable. The only mirror in the room is above the basin sink, so we had to share it to get ready. The shower wasn't that great so I didn't even opt to wash my hair for fear I couldn't rinse it out well enough. No continental breakfast, and the layout of the place is weird. I wouldn't recommend that any of my friends stay here. Thankfully, we only stayed one night. read more

I've had a great experience with the Cannery Row Inn. It is conveniently located in between all major attractions here in Monterey Bay with ample amount of parking. I was able to get to the aquarium, fisherman's wharf, the beach, and restaurants all within 5-10 minutes on foot! You really can't ask for any better when you're considering the location of your stay. Concierge was friendly, courteous, and helpful :-) I requested a room with one king-sized bed. Both bathroom and bedroom were very clean and neat. My balcony overlooked the serene courtyard. LOVED the fireplace which was gas operated with a simple light switch. Not having an A.C. unit was not a problem at all as I'd much prefer letting the natural cool ocean breeze in through the screened door. I thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. Fresh cut fruits, bread and pastry, even a waffle iron! Great beverage selection with coffee, tea, juice and they even had soy and almond milk! Was very pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail here. Overall, my stay here was so darn pleasant it really enhanced my experience here being in Monterey for the first time. Thank you very much, staff at Cannery Row Inn! read more

Thank you to Mr. Pritesh! I was booked for today. Due to a medical emergency in the family I had to cancel, literally last minute. I called and spoke to Mr. Pritesh. He was concerned and caring and stepped up to help me! Thr customer service he displayed helping me get a full refund was outstanding. We like traveling to Monterey frequently. We will now make this place our #1 spot. And I didn't even get to stay in their King sized, view of the ocean with a beautiful ireplace room. We will be back! Thanks again! read more

Will not stay here at all. My wife and I have a service animal. Went to call tonight to confirm my reservation and get the attitude of NO SERVICE ANIMALS. I informed her that is illegal. She tells me well is it certified. I informed her in CA they don't do that and you can only ask what does it do and is it a service animal. Nothing more. She gets upset and says we have to ask our manager but we don't honor service animals. I informed her that is illegal and I will be contacting the ADA. Then hung up. She called back saying she was sorry and they do honor service animals. I informed her we already canceled or reservation. DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW! Stay away. Will not come back. read more

We decided to spend one night in Monterey over MLK weekend and decided to get a cheap Motel. It was also the first time we took our baby to a hotel, which added some logistics to it. The location of the Inn is very convenient between Monterey's Fisherman's Wharf and the Aquarium both 12 minutes away walking. The Motel seems to be very proud of their fireplaces, which we didn't use at all - how cold does it get in Monterey? Checkin and all interactions with the staff were pleasant and effective. The rooms were clean and big enough to put up an additional pack&play for the girl. The view is nothing to write home about. Some of he rooms seem to have some sea view. It is just one block away from the water. There are a couple of restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance, so no need for hunger. Having our room next to the vending machine and above the parking we expected some noise. However it was very quiet and no disturbances. read more

The location was great. The place is dated and feels dated even though it was remodeled. The service was ok. Do not pay extra for an ocean view, there is no such thing, the building sits behind another building with the ocean in front of that. read more

Service was wonderful, the front desk staff was inviting and friendly. Our room was clean & the view was beautiful. The fire place was a nice added touch for some warmth to counter the crisp ocean breeze. We had a really nice time here for a little get away! read more

Generally small room. Outdated, but looks like they're remodeling updating slowly and the rooms is a mishmash of old and new. Shower leaked and sprayed water all over the bathroom. No shower liner (but did have a curtain). General feel was not clean or comfortable. Just felt dated confusing and cramped. Our particular room had a sliding door leading to a community patio facing the front office and street. We decided to make the best of it though because we didn't plan on spend too much time in our room anyway. We stayed out late with our kids, came back to the room and crashed on top of the beds. In the morning we were hanging out chatting and being generally lazy. My kids wanted to snuggle and relax in bed and when we pulled the linens back we were horrified but what we saw. Immediately went to management and had them come look. Manager was equally concerned and offered a credit. A while later management decided it was our fault and that wewe're responsible and they'd be charging us a fee. He even brought the supposed Houskeeper who cleaned our room prior to our check in as "proof" that we were at fault. In an effort to not turn our vacation sour we checked out (did have another night reserved) and accepted the service charge for the linens. To say I am disappointed and disgusted is an understatement. I regret booking here and should have followed my instinct and left as soon as we saw the room and it's general atmosphere and condition. read more

Cannery Row Inn - The stains that we found on our linen. It was some sort of chocolate covered fruit or candy. - Hotels Near Me - Monterey, California

30 minutes ago, I booked 2 rooms, one king bed room and one two queen bed room with a female representative(Name:Axxxx) on the phone. After discussing with my parents, we decided to change our booking to 2 two queen bed rooms because it has more spaces for my two children. I called the hotel and kindly asked if she could match the internet price from the hotel website. She refused and said "you have to directly go to our website for booking". It's weird that hotel's website says they will match any online price but this time they don't match their OWN hotel price on the internet!! After I hang up the phone, I immediately went to their website to make the reservation. It's weird that ALL types of the rooms are gone for the date I selected! No room available at all. I am 100% sure that the hotel lady just block all of the rooms just to prevent me from booking the room on their website. I am 100% sure that all of the room will be available few hours later. But I am not going to make the reservation anymore. I will book another better and friendly hotel for my family. I have a feeling that she did it because of my race. Anyway, I am not going to deal with this hotel anymore. read more

Had a weekend getaway here with my husband. This hotel certainly looks like nothing special when pulling in. But, the price and location are great. Right in the heart of Cannery Row. The woman at the front desk was very friendly and even let us check in early. Parking is free. Room was clean and had an updated bathroom. Carpets and electronics could use an upgrade but then I'm sure prices would hike. Free coffee and tea in the morning. We had no problems with noise. I would definitely stay here again. read more
