    • Garden area and patio
    • been coming to Merritt House since 2002. I enjoy the overall location. More personal and quiet.
    • Location, Fireplace, Staff

    Cons -

    • No desk to work from.
    • Not sure why we would need to pay for parking. Each unit should have at least one parking pass. Paying extra fees for this is robbery. This would be the one reason why I would find different location.
    • There was nothing we didn¿t like.

    It was absolutely charming. The room was beautiful, bathroom space was very roomy. Walking distance from old Historic Downtown. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. I highly recommend.

    No, will definitely stay again if available.

    10CharlesPosted on: 3-3-2020

    Perfect spot, a few blocks away from Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row. Free parking on site.

    No. Nicest hotel during our stay in California.

    8Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 9-8-2019

    Just off Del Monte, Merritt House Inn is in walking distance of the pier, etc., and the grounds were very pretty.

    The Inn was, pretty much as expected; a little "seasoned" but nothing that made me "not like" it.

    10WilliamPosted on: 2-19-2018

    It was actually quite refreshing to be at a quaint and clean lodge just around the corner from the busy hotels and conference. I will definitely stay here again for a conference. Or just a weekend getaway with my wife. And I am from Huntington Beach. Ca

    Nothing I didn’t like !!! From Huntington Beach Ca. Not Connecticut.

    Hotel employee was phenomenal. She was friendly and welcoming. The location and grounds were spectacular. We would definitely stay there again!

    The young man who checked us in was not very helpful about the area, restaurants, etc... there was no a/c and only windows were French doors. Otherwise it was a lovely room.

    9Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-28-2017

    What a little gem, nice people really made you feel like they cared, great location, free park was a plus. Would not think of staying anywhere else in Monterey.

    Not a big deal for me, but bathroom had some peeling paint, really no big deal!!!!

    10JayPosted on: 8-15-2016

    We were upgraded to Room 26, which must be the best hotel accommodation in Monterey. It is the entire second floor of the original Merritt residence, with a large living room, a bedroom that is equally large, and a patio out back.

    10BenjaminPosted on: 1-13-2026

    The view and feel of it. Locale, a hiden vintage gem with a tranquility soul.

    7HaleyPosted on: 7-1-2025

    I was told on arrival that the hotel was fully booked and there was no longer parking available..

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-29-2019

    great location and free parking

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 6-14-2016

    Quiet and cozy.

    9LesliePosted on: 2-15-2026

    on-site parking for a small fee, great location for walking, breakfast included, fireplace in the room, helpful and friendly staff

    bed was too firm (no cushioning at all) but friends who stayed in different rooms said their beds were fine.

    8DianaPosted on: 2-12-2026

    The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is very good, especially if you are attending an event at the Monterey Convention Center.

    It took at least 20 minutes for the water in the shower to get hot enough to use. That seems like a lot of wasted water. It would have been nice if breakfast started earlier, maybe 7:30 am instead of 8 am.

    10CharlenePosted on: 2-1-2026

    Great location. Great price. Mini fridge and fireplace in the room. They give you a log to burn. Staff is very nice. Continental breakfast included. Parking on-site. Great little market next door in case you forget something and they make great, fresh sandwiches. I love this place and highly recommend it. Oh yeah, big rooms and comfortable beds.

    No elevator

    9MichaelPosted on: 1-26-2026

    The location for what I needed was outstanding. It's an older property with charm. My room was clean.

    Nothing comes to mind

    9VinaPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Loved the French doors that opened to the garden, large spacious room, complimentary firewood, easy checking and checkout, loved the old style hotel keys, decor was lovely, nice big desk and side table.

    Bed was a bit too firm, walls are thin (could hear my neighbor and I feel parking should be included not an extra fee.

    9ArlenePosted on: 1-19-2026

    The Merritt House Hotel is a charming place to stay. Local shops, restaurants, coffee shops, etc are walkable. On sight parking is available ($20 per day) but some of the spots are tight. The morning free breakfast was charming and a perfect way to start the day. We appreciated the ability to have our breakfast "to go." We'll be back!
