Wonderful historical hotel
We loved our stay. We chose a historical room and really loved it. The architecture is beautiful, we checked out the old elevator next to the check in desk (it doesn’t work obviously but was really neat). The location is amazing, close to everything. Definitely would stay again.

Hotel wax beautiful. Location not so much. Hotel close enough to canary row and acquarium though our room faced a busy street and the noise was annoying. There were blinds on high ceiling. the blinds didn’t really allow for darkness (we only realised that too late to bother changing rooms) luckily we were so tired we were able to sleep.

Nice quiet stay at the Monterey
As a "historical" hotel, you never know what you're going to get in regards to the abilities of the building, but I had no issues in terms of water temp/pressure/etc. The room temp was good, and the hotel was very quiet. The carpets are a bit worn but they are clean, so not an issue. And the location was perfect; easily walked to everything I wanted to see, and plenty of good food options nearby.
