Cannery Row Inn

Friendly staff, solid location, decent WiFi and generally clean and has the basics down. Better for sightseeing than for those staying in, I think. Quick things to note: they don't allow late checkouts, just fyi, but otherwise you just drop your keys in a box to check out. The vending machines are also located in an open area, which is nice for when I visited but could become an issue if it's raining... The balconies are really nice, and the location is insanely convenient. It's about 10ish minutes to walk to the aquarium, and it's a block (or half, if you go out the back!) to the waterfront. There's solid food and sightseeing options here too. They do have a decent parking lot, but there's a ton you can see in Monterey by walking, and this hotel is perfect for a lot of those. What's missing here: a common dining area and breakfast, for one. Rooms aren't cramped but most furnishing is basic. Don't expect anything fancy, essentially. All that said, it's a solid choice if you're actually going out and sightseeing vs spending tons of time here. And if you do, they have some pretty nice patios and some rooms have balconies overlooking a trail.

Located in a great area, easy to walk to the main attractions in town. The room was big and spacious but lacking in a lot of things. There was only 1 lamp on one side of the bed and it had no lampshade. The other side of the bed had no lamp at all. There were no decorations or paintings on the walls, the room felt bare. The bathroom was really nice. But the room itself was lackluster.

Great location, the property could definitely use some updating. The room was large, the furniture dated but bed very comfortable. The bathroom is adequate. The only real issue was the upholstered chair in the room, it was very stained and also had a rip where you the stuffing is coming out. Not sure why the management would not just take that chair out better to not have a chair than a gross one.

Great location, conveniently located next to beach, restaurants, and shops. Friendly and accommodating staff. Clean and quiet rooms.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The place doesn’t look like much from the outside, but inside the rooms were very clean and spacious. Could use some updating, but nothing that I found to be problematic. For the price, this was a really good deal/ safe, quiet and comfortable. I would stay here again.

Dated premises but they did not skimp on the bits of quality comfort that make all the difference in what's really important in a comfortable stay. Loved the bedding and high ceilings and bathroom touches that make it feel more luxurious than the humble exterior and lobby.

Always so happy with this place, clean, absolutely best location with a great price and the staff are wonderful!

The location is awesome, and the price was very reasonable. But the first room we were shown had a large damp patch on the floor (not sure. We were then moved to another room (and to be fair, the staff were v apologetic), but even the new room was really quite shabby (dirty carpet which was coming up, falling down shower-curtain, etc) and the noise from the road was awful. Anyway, at the price, it was fine, but I wouldn't stay there again.

The Cannery Row Inn was a welcome surprise. Relatively inexpensive for the area, close to everything but enough removed that it was quiet and not crowded, and nice staff. They allowed us to park there in the morning for our day at the aquarium, moved us into a room with a nicer view without us even asking, and the room was spacious with a nice balcony overlooking a park and beach. We ate just a few steps away at Osteria Al Mare, which was delicious.
