We have a great stay for a wedding event- excellent customer service. It’s walking distance to restaurants and other places.

The place is noisy. I could hear everything happening in the room upstairs. TV is a DirecTV. This is a common problem with hotels. I would prefer if they just let me use my Netflix or Google account. There are some reviews saying that parking is free. But it isn't. They charge additional 15USD per night.

The property itself is very nice. It was clean, and the staff was friendly. The major issue was no access to a front desk or employee. The empty room next to use had an alarm that went off at 5:55AM, and there was no way to find someone to enter and turn it off. We ended up getting up and leaving to get away from the noise. I did call the number listed, and left a message, and never heard anything regarding it. We never get to sleep in, so it was tremendously disappointing to be awoken so early with no solution. I realize it is a fluke situation, but it ruined an expensive night away.

Did not like anything about this property. The room we stayed in had a broken toilet and leaked all over our belongings and we didn’t stay because our clothes were soiled by dirty toilet water. We checked in at 1pm went to Monterey bay aquarium all day returned around 5:30 used the toilet once and it had a major leak and we left at 7pm. Worst hotel I have ever stayed at.

I was in town for a business convention and did not want to stay in the generic large hotel chain so I found Merritt House and it could not be more convenient! It's a way to get away from the convention crowds yet still be very close.

The staff were pleasant and helpful. The location is great, near many restaurants and walkable. Our room was cute but the bathroom did have ants and the toilet got plugged up. Staff brought a plunger right away but plumbing seems older. Just a few little things that aren’t deal breakers. We did miss having a pool and spa to use, so we will likely stay at the Portola again in the future like we usually do.

Merritt House was a solid place to stay, only complaint is that there is a lot of road noise.

The bed, linens, and pillows were very comfortable. The location is very walkable to the wharf and if you are into longer jaunts down to cannery row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We logged 15,000 steps in one day! The building is not what is pictured in the photographs- the majority of rooms are in buildings around the original Merritt House. The vaulted ceilings and fireplace were awesome. However, the room smells of the chemicals from the prefab logs they give you. Be aware there is not an elevator so you will need to lug your bags up two short flights of stairs to get to the second story.

This little hotel is a close walking distance to the wharf and various businesses, including a great crepe restaurant less than 2 blocks way. The service was excellent and staff was very friendly. Super clean, with a quaint little breakfast room, filled with pastries and various easy food items.... If you want old style, this is the place.. Small, cozy, and even had a nice fireplace.
