We are still staying at Old Monterey Inn but everything has been so great didn't want to wait to write a review. We are staying in the Mayfield Suite. It is a very comfortable room. The owners are so accomodating and can't do enough for us. We arrived after check in so as directed we found our check in information where they said it would be.. We arrived in our suite to find soft music playing on a CD player and a "fire" burning in the fireplace (heater) When we emailed that we may be arriving late we were asked if we wanted to be served in our room or in the dining room. We had no idea room service was offered but we opted for it. Each morning 2 lovely trays arrived with probably the best breakfast's we have had at a B and B and we have stayed at quite a few in CA. (just know none of the food is for the diet conscious) Most B and B's that we have stayed in serve a different fritatta everyday here we have had pancakes, crepes blintz, and fresh fruit too. My husband's only complaint is that he likes bacon or sausage with breakfast (I am fine without it)so much food that it's way past dinner time before we are hungry again. There is a large living room with a computer with a printer (nice for printing boarding passes etc) This is where wine and cheese are served in the afternoon. There is also biscotti all the time and once we found wonderful chocolate chip cookies just off the dining room. We were using DSL in our room but Lawrence assured us that his wireless connection is very secure so now using that. Lawrence and Kathy are exceptional and when in this area again we will be back. We won't look further. Good choice. We are celebrating an anniversary so we received a nice box of chocolates. You will be very happy if you stay here!

My husband and I recently stayed at The Old Monterrey Inn for 3 days. We loved it! It was our first time in a B&B. We enjoyed our very nice room, the fireplace, the very friendly and helpful staff and the wonderful daily breakfast. The gardens are very relaxing and beautiful. Katy and Lawrence, the innkeepers, made us feel like we were old friends, and made sure we enjoyed the Monterey and Carmel area and our stay at their great place.

Great hosts, great place. Beautiful old home with luxurious rooms in a completely unique setting. We stayed there with two teenage boys who loved it as much as we did. I don't know what else to say except that we'll be back,

My husband surprised me with a 3 night stay at Old Monterey Inn for our anniversary. It couldn't have been more perfect! The Inn is located on an acre of lush gardens and trees so you have the feeling of being far away, yet only minutes from all that Monterey has to offer. Our room was perfect, the staff was exceptional, and the food was great!! I really can't say enough about how wonderful it was to spend our 10-year anniversary at Old Monterey Inn!

The Old Monterey Inn is the perfect hideaway. It is only blocks from downtown Monterey. The gardens are private and lush. Patti was warm and really wanted to make our stay everything that would make it the best for us. The breakfast was to die for. We will definitely return and look forward to it.
5 out of 5Only way to see Monterey
November 06, 2010
Our stay at the Old Monterey Inn could not have been better. From the minute we checked in the staff made us feel very welcome. The building is beautiful and the surrounding gardens are very relaxing. The timing was perfect, upon arrival after a long drive we enjoyed a glass of wine during the evening wine and cheese reception sitting in the garden. We walked down to the wharf and Cannery Row and then had dinner at a quaint European Bistro. Our room had a huge Jacuzzi tub for two, skylights and great design with wood timber accents. We were spoiled because we didn’t have to leave our room in the morning, as coffee and the newspaper were delivered to our door followed by a full gourmet breakfast shortly thereafter. What a treat, we will be back!
