Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Victorian Inn

Victorian Inn

8/10 Good
"Great location with most things in Monterey and Pacific Grove within walking distance. Staff were excellent, very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Rooms were a great size, ensuite showers powerful and with plenty of hot water. Good quality soaps, shampoos etc and good facilities within the bedroom. The only slight downside is the decor and furnishings in the bedrooms are tired and dated and really could do with an overhaul. They also charge for parking and as the on street parking around the Inn charge for parking from 9am-8pm it leaves you no choice but to pay the $17 daily charge. Overall though a positive stay."
