    This nonprofit hostel just recently reopened this year in March. I paid about $80 for a shared for bed dorm that had a bathroom outside of the suite. Parking is an additional $10 on certain days so check the website to see which days you can park free. This hostel also offers a day pass option for $20 which includes free parking. Overall, besides the snoring roommates and the fact that they don't have single sex dorms, I enjoyed my stay . I had to use the free earplugs, but unfortunately, they didn't work that well. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable, and overall the place had a good vibe. Bonus points for being walking distance to Starbucks as well as cute antique stores and a grocery store that stays open till 11 PM. This place is also walking distance to a lot of common sites in Monterey as well. Pricey ( but the cheapest accommodation on the area by far ) but I would come back if I needed a place to stay in the area .

    Wow! What a hidden gem of a hotel! From the moment we…read morearrived, we knew we'd found something special. We were warmly welcomed by an incredibly friendly, impeccably dressed gentleman who perfectly set the tone for the hotel's timeless style and gracious hospitality. The décor feels like stepping back into a chic vintage Mexico City boutique hotel, with character and elegance at every turn. The complimentary breakfast was another wonderful surprise. Rather than a typical hotel buffet, it was a full sit-down meal served in the beautiful dining room, with an elevated menu, delicious food, and presentation worthy of a fine restaurant. The rooftop bar is a destination in its own right, offering a wonderful atmosphere and great views, yet it was remarkably quiet in our room below. The location couldn't be better--directly across from the waterfront and the scenic walking trail leading to Fisherman's Wharf. We absolutely loved our stay and will be recommending this hotel to everyone we know

They are a little smaller than usual but definitely cozy , clean and comfortable! The included breakfast is made to order from a menu with choices that are far above standard. Everything was delicious. The only minor drawback is the small parking area in the back with a narrow driveway in, but street parking is available. I highly recommend this hotel! What a gem.

We enjoyed being able to walk everywhere and we loved the historical aspect of the Inn. There is a small parking lot on the property, but we chose to park on the street (it's free) because there was a space right in front of our cottage door. The staff is very friendly. The star was lost because of the poor breakfast. Cold bagels, no butter, tiny, tasteless cold pastries. Sad because the little breakfast room with its cozy seating is very inviting.

It felt like we were inconveniencing her by having the audacity to check into our room. The room was small but that's fine, it's to be expected. Note that the walls are THIN AS CAN BE. I could hear the room next to us flush their toilet. I wish I was joking. The worst part was the shower head. The first day it was spraying a bit to the sides and got the bathroom floor a little wet. The second day all hell broke loose and the entire bathroom was soaked after a 5 minute shower. I had to wipe down the counter, the toilet, and the sink from all the shower water. I've never experienced anything like it. The "continental breakfast" is pathetic. Cold and tiny pastries and blueberry bagels. So expect to eat elsewhere for breakfast. I recommend Winston's around the corner (it's outstanding). The lady at the front desk the day we checked out and that I reported the shower leak to was very hospitable. To be honest, she was the only positive part of this entire experience. I'm just so disappointed in this place. I was really looking forward to our stay but it fell short in every way plus some. For around $200 a night during off season on a week day GO ELSEWHERE TRUST ME.

My husband and I walked into the lobby to check in and everything in there felt sticky. There was also a sign that said the WHOLE Inn allowed smoking on the inside. My husband had to literally slam his body into the door to get it to open. The smoke smell was so intense I had a migraine within five minutes. The bed was a trendle bed and both my husband and I are big people, I put half my leg on the bed and it sank to the floor (don't worry I washed my clothes right after). The box spring was still covered in plastic. They judged me for reading what I was signing. The wifi came with a warning saying the page wasn't safe. There was also a cigarette in the AC unit. There was also cigarette marks on each piece of furniture and the shower had mold. I talked to my agent to cancel my stay here immediately. I had to pay for the first night which I understand from a business perspective. The second entrance to our room to grab our stuff, the owner had sprayed perfume to cover the smell. He also followed my husband into the room to beg us to stay and tried to put us in his "sister" hotel across the street. We didn't even bother. He pestered us for a while to beg us to stay but nah. I've stayed in shitty places before and I have my 2 requirements smoke free and big bed. This lied about both and I didn't trust the attendant to show us something we would like. Never stepping foot here again.

It is a straightforward, dependable Marriott with comfortable rooms, although the property felt a little tired and could benefit from a thoughtful refresh. What distinguishes it is the location, with easy access to downtown Monterey, Old Fisherman's Wharf, and the waterfront activities around the harbor. Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium are also nearby, giving business travelers plenty to do once the meetings end. Beyond Monterey itself, the hotel works well as a practical base for exploring one of the most beautiful and historically rich parts of California. The 17-Mile Drive runs through Pebble Beach and offers extraordinary coastal scenery, while continuing south brings you into Carmel-by-the-Sea, a charming town with galleries, restaurants, and a beautiful beach. Golfers are also exceptionally well positioned near the Pebble Beach complex and its world-renowned courses, while Big Sur is close enough for a memorable day trip. I feel fortunate to have visited this region several times because it is somewhat difficult to reach. Yet, the maritime history, dramatic landscape, and distinctly Northern California atmosphere make every trip worthwhile.

    This place is in a really nice location, especially if your main goal is to enjoy the beach. It's…read moreclose enough that you can easily walk over, spend the entire day at the beach, and come back when you're ready to relax. The property itself is definitely on the older side, so don't come here expecting five-star hotel amenities. The rooms are pretty basic, there aren't TVs in every room, some of the electrical outlets are older, and certain areas of the campground could use some maintenance and cleaning. I also noticed some of the wood and trees around the property appear to have insect damage. The pool isn't anything special either, but honestly, with the ocean right next door, the pool probably isn't the main reason you're staying here. What I actually like about this place is that it feels designed for families or anyone who wants to disconnect for a few days. You're not surrounded by electronics and distractions. You have a place to sleep, a shower that gets the job done, and the beach right there. Grab some food from outside, bring it back, hang out with the family, and just enjoy the area. One suggestion: bring a small cooler for drinks and maybe a small air fryer or similar appliance, if permitted, so you have an easy way to warm up food. They also have a cafeteria with breakfast and lunch options. The food is decent--not amazing, but perfectly fine for what it is. It would be nice if meals were included in the room price or if there were an easy option to add them when booking. Maybe they already offer that and I just missed it. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here if you understand what you're getting. Don't expect luxury rooms or amazing amenities. You're paying for the location, the beach, and the opportunity to disconnect and spend some quality time with family. The pricing could be a little better considering the condition of some of the facilities, but then again, you're right next to the beach--and that's really what makes this place worth staying at.

It's in an excellent location, with a short walk down a pretty path surrounded by nature to get to the beach. It's a very short drive to the attractions in Monterey. The lobby area is quite large, with a large fireplace, comfortable tables and chairs - even a few rocking chairs, so it's a pleasant place to gather and hang out. They have a large variety of room types to choose from. We stayed in the Middle Longview building, which I cannot recommend. It's old and outdated with a motel style layout. The walkway outside the rooms is wooden and quite loud every time someone walked by. The room itself was clean but a little rundown. The shower is old and and the knobs don't work well. Bed was comfortable. The Asilomar site says to bring refillable water bottles, which we did, but the water bottle filling stations were hard to find. The whole time we were there, we only found one. Phoebe's Cafe was the perfect place to grab a quick breakfast each day. Excellent oatmeal and they have delicious looking assorted pastries, yougurt, fruit, and some other quick options. They also have lots of snacks, sandwiches, etc., along with beer and wine for later in the day. Bottom line, if you want an affordable option in a great location, Asilomar is a great choice. If you want a more upscale accommodation, this isn't it.
