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.
