We stayed on the third floor and could hear the guests above walking. The floors are very creaky. The wind was blowing and was whistling though the door and window which were both closed and locked. We expected a cleaner nicer room based on reviews and photos especially for the price we paid. It’s very convenient to walk and drive to close attractions but we would not stay here again unless much cheaper than what we paid

We were on the third floor and you could hear the guests above walking. Floors are very creaky. If it’s windy it blows and it really loud through the door and window. Based on photos and review we expected a nicer cleaner room. I would not stay here again for the price we paid.

We really liked the Wave Street Inn. Location was GREAT. Staff was friendly and nice. The only downside was the beds as the matress seemed old and worn down, if laying on the bed always felt like I was going to roll off.

Cute, clean, safe
We stayed at this hotel for our first night away as parents. We loved the location we were able to walk everywhere on cannery row and were able to drive off easily to other parts of town. Front desk was friendly and helpful, we were able to check in early which was nice. We were on the 4th floor and felt like we had the place to ourselves. I loved the security features on the elevator to get to and from. The room was clean and well kept. My only concern was the fridge didnt feel very cold and I dont think the windows were sitting right. The one in the bathroom I could see had a gap from the window to the frame and the ones in the room wiggled in the frame and there was a lot of condensation on the windows in the morning. Other than that i feel like i had a great experience and would come back again.

Nice Monterey hotel
Great hotel in fantastic spot in Monterey just steps from Cannery Row! Nice rooms, reasonably priced and super nice staff. I’m glad to see now that it’s changed from the Otter Inn (which we used to enjoy) it’s still a very nice place to stay, and the upgrades are a big improvement.

It’s location can’t be beat. Walking distance to Cannery Row, the Aquarium and lots of restaurants. No need to drive and park again and again.
