I didn’t like the service .we were given a room next to the office very noisy. We requested to be moved . We followed the instructions on requesting to clean our room. When we came back from dinner to my dismay the room was not clean! The housekeeper never went into our room it was late in the evening so requested clean towels, toilet paper.i had to take garbage out. Very expensive for deposit and parking.

This was a most comfortable, relaxing weekend stay for us. We had a spacious room with two comfy chairs and a fireplace, and it was a perfect space to read a book or watch television. The breakfasts were yummy (mini omelets were the bomb!), and the happy hour with wine was a great time to unwind from the day. The staff is friendly and warm and were delighted to help us out any way they could. This is within easy walking distance of Cannery Row, and we were able to walk to restaurants, shopping, and of course, the Aquarium and the ocean. This was a fabulous de-stressing weekend, and the rain didn't do anything to dampen things for us. If you're on the fence, please choose YES to the Victorian Inn!

We've stayed at the Victorian Inn for a number of years for the above reasons and it's just as comfortable hotel to enjoy a laid back vacation. The hotels free breakfast is absolutely outstanding.

A very nice experience - large rooms, very friendly staff and nicely appointed decor. Would recommend bringing your own, thinner pillows if you are a side sleeper. All in all, a great experience.

Perfect place to stay that’s close to cannery row and the aquarium. Amazing breakfast in the morning not just your typical hotel breakfast. Rooms a cute and spacious with a fireplace that keeps you warm specially in the cold ocean weather. Only complaint is that the chain latch on our door was pulled out of the wall with the screw hanging out and the door trim loose from the wall like someone tried to kick the door in.

I loved the screen sharing on the t.v.! All hotels should do that! Loved that you could stop the water flow on the shower head! The photo showed 2 sinks but there was only one in the room.

We thought this was a bed and breakfast but its really just a motel with a house connected to it. The rooms are run down and worn, the shower head water is very weak with the bath tub creaking the entire time your in it. For the price I was expecting a lot nicer and overall I would not recommend.

The rooms were clean, that is about the only positive thing to say. It was one of the most noisy hotels I have ever stayed in and I travel a lot. Constant slamming of doors all night long. Drunk people laughing and talking loud down the hall at 2am. Unable to get a decent night sleep here. Breakfast was okay accept not enough tables and can barely move to get some food.

Great property with great service! Everything was straight forward, rooms were perfect! Very clean and housekeeping was great. Parking was super easy as they have their own basement garage parking and it’s only two blocks away from Cannery Row and MANY restaurants. We parked our car and never had to pull it out. Highly recommend and will be staying here again!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. We were very pleased with our stay. The room was clean, we enjoyed the fireplace. There was a balcony that you can actually walk out onto and sit. The room has two sinks which we found convenient. The parking is in a covered garage, within this garage is an elevator and several bell hop carts within easy access for transporting your luggage to your room. The breakfast was more than expected. We did not take advantage of the wine and cheese activity but it is a nice amenity. The Victorian inn is located within walking distance to our favorite places to go in Monterey; The aquarium, the beach, cannery row, the antique mall, restaurants, etc. A couple of things to note: 1…This is a hotel. The hotel portion of the property is located behind the represented street view of the Victorian house, you are not getting a room in the house to sleep. Check in, the breakfast and the wine and cheese social do take place in the Victorian house. 2…There is a surprise charge that I was not made aware of before or during check in and that is you pay a daily parking fee ($19) for using the parking garage ( The staff didn’t even tell me this when they asked for my credit card at check-in. I discovered the charge on my card the next day). With that being said, I still enjoyed my stay, I would still stay there again, and use their parking garage. We were in a safe area and I would feel safe parking on the street also.

Dear Katheryn,Thank you for the positive ratings and comments. We're glad you and your husband had a great time staying with us during your anniversary and enjoyed the amenities we offer. Regarding the parking, it has always been our practice to be transparent regarding the fees our guests pay and do so by including this fee on our hotel website under the Services we provide, as well as having it listed on 3rd party websites and informing guests upon check-in. We apologize for the miscommunication; your feedback is essential and has been shared with our team, as this helps us to improve. We hope this does not deter you from staying with us in the future, and we have the opportunity to welcome you both back during your next special occasion.Sincerely,Victorian Inn

The staff and service were great and the room was very clean. Anywhere we wanted to go was within walking distance. Wine reception and breakfast was a plus. If you don’t mind not being up close to the ocean, skip the big hotels and give this place a try! We won’t be staying anywhere else when we visit.

Good location, near restaurants, they offered wine/cheese for happy hour (I wasn’t able to attend), good free breakfast in a small dining room. The fireplace was a nice touch as we were there on Christmas Eve, but it worked only intermittently, and I turned it off for safety. El Tortito had great southwest menu.
