Old Monterey Inn

The Old Monterey Inn is a hidden treasure tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Our room was comfortable, and we loved the delicious breakfast served in the beautiful dining room. A lush garden surrounds the property adding ambiance to the Inn. The staff was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Cheese and wine are provided between 16:00 and 18:00 each day which added a wonderful touch to our stay. We will be back.

The Old Monterey Inn is a hidden treasure. An extremely quiet neighborhood during our stay surrounded by an enchanted garden, yet within walking distance to shops and restaurants nearby. Beautiful and comfortable room and delicious breakfasts served in our room, although the dining room was so beautiful and difficult to pass up for morning breakfast. The (OMI) Carmel Martin house is an interesting, historic house which was well appointed yet comfortable at the same time. I enjoyed reading about its history. The staff was attentive and kind as well. We will have to return on our next visit to the Monterey/Carmel area.

One of my daughters attends college in CA. She asked if I could come and visit for Mother’s Day. She also included her sister and her roommate, so we had a girls weekend. It was a fabulous stay and I would love to return someday. The Inn is charming, comfortable and unique. One can walk through the gardens and enjoy outdoor spaces while enjoying complimentary wine and snacks in the late afternoon. Hence, our arrival was later than planned due to traffic on a Friday but Wendy the Inn Keeper quickly settled us with wine and treats upon our arrival, a great way to start the weekend after a tiring car ride. The rooms are all unique and interesting. The furnishings and decor are lovely and comfortable. Oh, did I mention that breakfast is also included and you can enjoy it in the dining room or request to have it delivered to your room. Breakfast each day was scrumptious and beautifully plated. I love getting up and starting my day with a homemade, delicious, well balanced breakfast. Oh one daughter has a food allergy and the Inn staff were very accommodating. Highly recommend. We had a wonderful stay and I hope to return some day. Oh and we went hiking along the ocean cliffs nearby, whale watching, visited the aquarium, shopped in Carmel, and found terrific restaurants for dinner nearby.

Undoubtedly a gem in Monterey. My wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at this Inn, and we had a wonderful time. The Garden Cottage room was very comfortable and romantic. You will feel very relaxed as you walk through the beautiful and peaceful gardens and enjoy the relaxing aromas lingering in the air from the abundant flowers. Breakfast was served at 9 am, and of course, it was very delicious. The General Manager, Wendy, was attentive to our needs and made us feel comfortable. She made our stay pleasant and, without a doubt, gave us the desire to return.

What a wonderful place to stay and be pampered! Wendy and her crew go the "extra" mile to make you feel like family. Very delicious breakfast(s). and great service. Loved the evening wine service and cheese plate. Hope to see your place this Christmas. John, Liliana, and Harlow (grand daughter).

A delightful weekend at the Old Monterey Inn. Our room, Stoneleigh, was beyond charming and had everything we needed. The staff were welcoming and accommodating and the breakfast outstanding. We also loved the convenient location and the interesting mix of other guests. And the gardens were lush and quaint. We would go back in a heartbeat.
