What Our Guests Say 

We stayed at the Best Western Plus Victorian Inn because we heard that it was pet friendly and was located near the Monterey Peninsula Recreation Trail. Our experience with this hotel exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival our beagle/basset was greeted with an array of pet food, treats, and hugs. And in our spacious and comfortable room a bottle of merlot and box of chocolates were waiting for my husband and me. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and the spectacular recreation trail and the restaurants and shops on Cannery Row were only a few steps away. We also appreciated the afternoon wine & cheese reception and waking up to a delicious hot breakfast. Bottom line: This was a great find and we will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Monterey.

I've been staying in this hotel for car week for over the last ten years. Always enjoy staying at this hotel. Bathroom have just been remodeled. Every room has a fireplace and most have a patio. The wine and cheese hour every afternoon is very nice and the free breakfast in the morning is nothing fancy, but saves you money in an area that is slightly more expensive than some when it comes to food. Walking distance to the Aquarium and Cannery Row, a great location with plenty of restaurants around to choose from for lunch and dinner. If I ever had time to come up to Monterey just for fun, this is the place I would stay.

Absolutely the best! From the management to the staff, top notch. Every visit to Monterey, this is where I stay simply because of how they treat me. Was in an updated room (bathroom) this time and that was very nice!

We were really happy with our stay. The room was a fair size and beds very comfortable and we all felt it was well located for walking access to everything we wanted to see in Monterey. Wine and cheese hour was an added bonus. I did like the china mugs and plates and metal cutlery for breakfast use - far preferable to the paper plates and plastic cups in other hotels we stayed at.

This BW Plus Victorian Inn has everything you need for a wonderful stay in Monterey. Lovely rooms with fireplace, indoor parking, breakfast and happy hour included, two sinks and mirrors in the bathroom area, security for building entrance, car window washing supplies, water and fruit in lobby all day, can walk to many resturants and shopping and aquarium. And very pleasant employees...who have been there for many years. A real PLUS of a hotel.

The Best Western was one of the nicest I’ve been in. The room was very spacious. We had corner room #217, plenty of windows plus a fireplace. Happy hour every day and a good breakfast. It was about 2 blocks from Cannery Row. The staff were very pleasant and always willing to help. Will definitely stay here again

For the past 12 years, we come to Monterey twice a year and usually stay a week at the BW Victorian Inn. The very capable manager, Sharleen Adams, has been making improvements in the property each year, and we are surprised on every subsequent visit to find this to be a much cleaner, warmer welcoming, and higher quality experience. The bathrooms have recently been renovated, the hallways are beautifully redecorated, the beds are upgraded with new mattresses. This location definitely provides a higher standard than any other Best Western property I have visited. This has become our home away from home.

This is a hidden gem. The hotel combines a cozy Victorian Inn for dining and gathering connected to a more traditional hotel. The location is great - near Cannery Row and the Aquarium and a short walk to heart of Monterey and the sea. The rooms are clean and fairly large with a working fireplace and outdoor patio. Daily afternoon wine and cheese and a generous morning breakfast buffet made our stay extra special. A common room in the Victorian hotel allows guests to gather to watch TV or just chat with other guests. The entire hotel staff went out of their way for us in every respect. My mother, who is disabled, was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. Parking costs $16.00 extra/day but is conveniently located under the hotel with easy access. I have stayed at many other hotels in Monterey and this was the best by far. Highly recommended without hesitation. We enjoyed it so much, we stayed an extra day.

After staying at numerous Best Westerns throughout the country this location was by far the best ! Our experience was of value to the staff and it is was warmly obvious. The value received far outpaced the cost!!!

We love staying at the Victorian Inn each year when we are in town for an annual conference. Staff are helpful and friendly. Walking distance to the Aquarium and the conference location we attend each year. Rooms are clean and nicely appointed. Beds are very comfortable. Happy hour and breakfast are nice too.
