Great location (only 15min from Fisherman’s Wharf) with free parking and free breakfast (which was fab!) Room was clean and quiet - would stay here again if ever back in Monterey.

4/10 Fair

The staff were excellent. However, the room carried an unpleasant odor that seemed to originate from the carpet. The mattress was uncomfortable, sagging in the center and near the headboard.

What a hidden gem and just a few blocks from the free trolley and the wharf. Super peaceful location with an off the beaten path feel from the tourist corridor. Excellent location with access to a ton of local restaurants and attractions. Well kept property.

Great facility in a residential neighborhood. Wonderful breakfast and a working elevator for second and third floor. Only drawback was no flexibility for early check in or cancellations.

The stay receives 5 stars due to the value for the money compared to the other options nearby and the great location. The hotel is clean and they also offer free parking which are things that are important to me. In terms of amenities, they really don’t have any. And they also don’t have AC, which we knew when we booked it. Unfortunately, it was very hot while we were there, but it wouldn’t be fair to include it in my rating as this is something we were fully aware of. The other thing I’d point out is that the water smells really bad. At first I thought it was the shower curtain, but I quickly realized the smell would come up whenever the water was on, including from the sink. However, I believe that’s just California water in general, so I’m not factoring that in my rating. So, if you don’t mind the lack of amenities, AC, and outdated furniture, this place offers good value for the price.

The Inn is Extremely Clean, everywhere we went from Lobby Ck-in, our room, bathroom, breakfast area, and outside area. The staff were all Great, especially Ellen at front desk, she was professional & personable. The Inn is older & outdated but the extreme cleanliness makes it feel good & nostalgic. Great price & included a good breakfast each morning. We are definitely returning, great location near enough to walk to everything.

We had a great stay at Colton Inn. The location was excellent and very convenient for visiting local attractions around Monterey. There was plenty of parking available, which made everything much easier, and the staff were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the area. Our room was spacious with two comfortable queen beds, and the breakfast was a real highlight with plenty of food options to choose from. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to others visiting Monterey.

This is my second time staying at the Colton Inn on a visit to Monterey. For me, it was important that it's located close to the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, but it's also within walking distance of lots of downtown/Old Monterey locations, including a drug store, Trader Joe's, cafes and restaurants, and the water front. Staff are always extremely helpful, I enjoy the breakfast (love that they have hard boiled eggs!), and always have a great stay here.
