Property was in a great location, and rooms were very nice. Breakfast was standard, but fine. Limited parking spots, some fairly tight to get in and out
Loved this cute place! Rooms were clean, breakfast was cute for a morning snack, parking is tight. Location is great! Staff always greeted us hello and with a smile everytime.
Merritt House was very clean and a lovely, well-appointed hotel with a beautiful balcony and fireplace, vaulted ceilings and very comfortable beds and pillows. The breakfast was lacking a little bit. Very minimal choices. Skip breakfast there, and go to Alta Bakery instead! It was amazing!
Room was great! Cute, quiet, clean historic hotel. So close to downtown and Fisherman's Warf so we could walk to many places.

Expedia shows a noon check-in but in fact once I arrived the staff informed me that it was actually 3 PM but a room is available and I was allowed in at about 1220. Throughout my stay staff was extremely attentive and helpful. I love being able to have a cozy fire in the evening and the room was adorned with all manner of African art, modern amenities, and a tasty breakfast the next morning. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but if you’re careful you’ll be fine. Room 15 and 16 upstairs are particularly nice because they have a base price but also include a patio with a table and two chairs.

We loved it! The location was perfect. The staff were super friendly and the room was very comfortable!
Didn’t have air conditioner just had electric fan but otherwise location is really good walking distance to the Fishermans wharf and other eating places
This cute, cottage like hotel was the perfect stay during a conference in Monterey - short walk to all nearby conference rooms. Our 2nd floor room had high ceilings, skylight & exposed beams. The staff were friendly.
