What Our Guests Say 

Stayed before at Inn at Spanish Bay. I wasn’t expecting much but was blown away with everything. Top floor room with ocean view, fireplace in room, 2 block walk to our favorite restaurant The Charthouse, 5 blocks to aquarium. Heard the rain on the roof during the night. Huge room with plenty of lounging room. Nice breakfast included. The least expensive parking in Monterey. What else is there to say? Oh, Buy the aquarium tickets at the desk and they are good for 2 days.

Friendly, helpful staff from front desk to breakfast help, maintenance and cleaners. The bonus of a fireplace allowed for a great place to unwind. Location was great for strolls to shops and restaurants on Cannery Row. PERFECT getaway spot!

Very comfortable and well-maintained hotel just a block from Cannery Row. Parking was available. Rooms were very comfortable and our even had a fire place in it. Lovely landscaping. Everything worked in the room and the bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was lovely and the shower was great. Highly recommend if you are in the Monterey area and want to stay near Cannery Row. Breakfast was included in the rate we had and it was excellent. There was also an afternoon cheese and wine tasting activity in the hotel reception area.

This hotel has such great charm. Loved the location which was perfect walking distance to Cannery Row and the aquarium. Even with two small children, it was very easy to get around. The rooms were super cute and we loved the fireplace. The weather was gloomy so it was amazing to come back to a warm fire.

The hotel is a great location for walking to all the Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf locations in Monterey. We stayed twice in one vacation and had both a standard king and double bed. Both rooms were large. The king room had two large comfortable chairs in front of the fireplace and TV. This is so much more pleasant than the usual room where you sit on the bed and barely have room to walk. We also had two sinks in the bathroom area in both rooms. This made getting ready in the morning very quick. The interior garden landscaping is very attractive. Both rooms were on the first floor but seemed very quiet. There was a minimum of car noise with no honking or tire squealing. We found the beds to be a comfortable medium firmness, the breakfast good, and the staff super friendly. Staying at the Victorian Inn really added to our vacation

This is a great hotel. The staff is wonderful. Friendly, helpful. The location is perfect, just a couple blocks off Cannery Row. Easy walking distance to the aquarium and pier. I keep returning when I get the opportunity to visit Monterey. This time while making reservations I mentioned I was celebrating my birthday. It was so fun to have a bottle of wine and hand written note waiting for me in my room. Those extra touches take customer service up several notches.

Part of me doesn’t want too many visitors booking this hotel, but I’ll spread the word along with all the other happy customers. The inn is a great value and offers wonderful accommodations in the heart of Monterey! We first stayed a couple of nights at the Monterey Plaza Hotel, and we enjoyed the luxurious atmosphere, but the reality is that we weren’t in our room long enough to justify the price. We then spent three nights in the BW Victorian Inn. Like the Plaza, the inn is located on the quieter end of the Cannery Row area, yet in walking distance to most attractions. We had a large comfortable room on the 3rd floor with a fireplace that we actually lit after a cold rainy day of site seeing. They pay attention to the details, like for women, they provide a magnifying makeup mirror and a large full-length mirror, both of which are so helpful. The room was quiet, a requirement for me because I’m a light sleeper. The free breakfast was great, and as for paying for parking? Seriously, we were thrilled to have a parking garage where we could come and go as we pleased. It was worth the daily charge! Before closing, kudos to the excellent staff and the management. We saw workers at all hours keeping the place clean and running efficiently. I even thought I’d look up who owns the inn, so we can visit some of their other properties. I really felt I got my money’s worth and then some!

Nice place to stay. Centrally located. Soft beds. Fireplace. Good morning breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful. Very clean and comfortable. Well worth the money. The afternoon wine and cheese was a great touch.

I chose this hotel based on the reviews I read here, and I'm glad I did! We had an excellent stay at the Best Western. It's location is excellent, and the parking fee isn't exorbitant. Our room (a king-size bed) was quite large and included a fire place, two chairs, a fridge, and (my favorite part) TWO SINKS! One in the bathroom and one right outside. It was a great setup, I wish more hotels were set up this way! The breakfast was good. Hotel was pretty quiet at night although you could hear people getting up to start their day in the mornings. Be sure to buy our Aquarium tickets here!!! I read about the Buy-one-get-2-days deal online. No one at the hotel mentioned it to me, which I think they should have. Not only is it a good deal, but it also saves you from standing in the long line outside the aquarium, of all the people waiting to buy tickets!

Our room was spacious and very comfortable. It was also conveniently located near the aquarium and main streets. The service was great and everyone was really friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back
