“Nice quiet Air B/B and location is good to downtown. Drawbacks are they only provide breakfast at 9am which takes away a good portion of your morning if you plan on going to see the soundings. Also, the host seemed to be only providing 2 bottles of wine during the evening reception which limits everyone staying if at full occupancy. Overall nice stay but they are better options for your dollar.”

“The service and attention to detail were amazing. The room was comfortable, though the bed was a bit harder than we like. Staff couldn't have been more attentive. Breakfast and breakfast service were fantastic.”

“My partner and I stayed and the OMI for 3 nights at the end of July in the Library Room, which we felt was the perfect fit for us -- online and while we were there.
From the word go, we were instantly gobsmacked at how stunning the property was. It was absolutely true -- if not moreso -- to the pictures online!
We had arrived late, so our keys and instructions were left for us. The hosts were kind enough to leave soothing music on, the fire in the fireplace running, wine and an assortment of cheeses and meats.
Again, our room was true to the pictures and extremely comfortable. We especially LOVED the automatic fireplace. Once settled, we took a walk around the grounds, which were nothing short of perfection in the way they were manicured; and, we were were greeted by a very friendly cat!
A bit of history: The Library Room was once the was originally the Mayor of Monterey and the only room to have have a dumb waiter!
Back to the room, the robes were probably the most comfortable robes I have every used...so much so, I e-mailed the OMI to ask where they source their robes so I could purchase one. Sadly, they never got back to me.
In the evening hours, a romantic touch is added to the grounds with lights wandering and round to add to the ambiance. Additionally, I was absolutely thrilled to open our stained-glass window to fall asleep to the trickling of the fountain just outside our room.
As for breakfast, guest-in-residence are given a choice between eating downstairs in the dining room or in your own room. We chose the latter. Breakfast in front of the fire was just too tempting! Guests do have the option to have a breakfast/bag put outside their room should they leave early for the day, and a refrigerator is provided for leftover, snacks or anything guests would want to store. In addition to that, a microwave is available along with coffee and tea all day.
One criticism I had was that there didn't seem to be much...we...Monterey. If you want to go somewhere with lots of shopping, galleries, restaurants, etc, I would recommend going down the road to Carmel-By-The-Sea. Just beware: finding a parking spot can be a challenge!
The only other criticism I have, is The "Library Room" has some very...interesting choices in books. And why is the guest-out book jammed amongst all the other books??
All other meals are left to the”
Pleasant stay

“Everything about the Inn is outstanding. My room, the Tattershall, was beautifully decorated and had lots of windows. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was small but the towels were great! I also loved having a fireplace in the room.
The staff were extremely nice and helpful. It is within walking distance to town.
I highly recommend The Old Monterey Inn.”

“Nice B&B beautiful old building and nice staff. Fire alarm in hallway went off two nights in a row so the interruption at 4 in the morning wasn’t fun. Breakfast was delicious. ”
