What Our Guests Say 

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

We booked our hotel last minute when we got in town and luckily the hotel had a room for us. The Front desk even offered to upgrade our room to one of the suite with an amazing view. We stayed for couple nights and it was amazing . Our room was very clean and so cozy.

An easy walk to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, this older hotel is currently being renovated but definitely worth a stay. We booked a premier room, a very large room with a fireplace, high ceilings, a long window seat and table, two beds, and a nice desk for three friends on a weekend away. We were surprised by a free bottle of wine on our arrival, and every afternoon there was a happy hour spread of red and white wine, cheese, crackers, and apples in the breakfast/lounge area downstairs. The staff was friendly and accommodating, there was convenient underground parking, and we even had a glimpse of ocean out our window. The only downside: some traffic and minor room noise. We were on a top floor, but the windows were single paned and the soundproofing between the rooms was not great. Similarly, the old gas fireplace did not have electric ignition. Hoping that the renovations will help with that.

We've heard that Best Westerns have circled back around and are improvising their brand..we are finding it true. This place has a 'Victorian decor'...which we weren't sure about because we prefer modern..but it was so clean and had slight touches of modern and so very comfortable and professional...great location. great parking. The man at check in was very professional, cordial and efficient.. We'd stay here again...good job.

Location, Value, Cleanliness, Hospitality, and Character are all the reasons we will choose this hotel again. Rooms are charming w/fireplaces and patios. Staff was friendly, and this property is in walking distance of Aquarium and Canary Row. I have stayed at a few hotels in Monterey and this was one of my favorites, especially because it was priced well for the amenities. They offer a complimentary breakfast, as well as wine & cheese in the afternoon which is a really nice touch. We were two families of three, and we all enjoyed our stay.

Staff was friendly and the service was great. Room was spacious enough for me and my family and we loved the fire place. Room was quiet and the bed was nice and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
