This is a Best Western Hotel, despite the upscale name. It has tremendous potential and it seemed that some of the rooms we noticed (while they were being cleaned) may have already been upgraded with wood floors, etc. But our room needed new flooring in the bathroom and bedroom. Also, the exterior common areas showed signs of mildew from the moist air exposure. Overall, an upgrading would improve this hotel tremendously.
Positives: The fireplace was very nice.
Negatives: Rooms in need of updating.

I would go to this hotel again! Having a 16 month baby we were able to give her naps and then get back out to the shops and beach without any hassle.
Positives: It had beautiful rooms, calm, cool colors, high ceilings, good free breakfast, super location minutes from the action.
Negatives: The front desk man tried to give us coupons for restaurants with specials like free sorbet or noodle house just because they were affiliated with best west.

We enjoyed our stay very much (minus the girl at the front desk who checked us in) and would recommend it to family and friends. It is an older hotel with everything you would need to make your visit pleasant. We loved the fireplace and stocked fridge ($$) in our room. We even got to spend a little time in the spa hidden outside the patio area to rest our muscles after our bike ride along the beach side. Parking is below the building and costs $13 a day. The continental breakfast was a nice touch.
Positives: Very clean, convenient, and served nicely as our overnight stay.
Negatives: The girl at the front desk

We checked in very late after driving from San Francisco. Room has outdoor corridors and room very close to street. Room was very very old and needed major update.
Positives: Close to the aquarium.
Negatives: Very old looking, not updated. Kids were crept out. Front desk not that helpful with information about area.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 29 Nov 2009 rated 9 out of 10.
The hotel was great. Located so close to cannery row with outstanding restaurants and shopping just a short walk away. The room was spacious, nicely appointed, and the bed was very comfy. We enjoyed the fireplace each night. We will return and will certainly recommend this property to our friends.
Positives: The room was easily accessible, spacious and
Negatives: Only that we couldn't stay longer !
Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 10 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
Convenient location, yet far away enough from main tourist strip. Guests we encountered were mainly European which made it kind of interesting to kids.
Positives: The wine and cheese reception and lobby area, spacious room.
Negatives: Mattress was too firm, could hear noisy guest up above us.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 31 Jul 2008 rated 6 out of 10.
Based on its location, this is a better hotel than the ones on Munras. The rooms are a little shabby, but clean. We enjoyed the wine reception and breakfast (they could use a few more chairs). Overall, it was a decent hotel but not one I'd specifically seek out next time.
Positives: Great location near aquarium, breakfast is convenient.
Negatives: Older hotel could stand some renovation.

Overall this was a very nice stay. The front desk people were exceptionally friendly. We were walking distance from many restaurants and shops as well as Cannery Row.
Positives: The location to the cannery row and downtown was great.
Negatives: There were no vending machines to get bottle water, soft drinks, etc.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 17 Jul 2008 rated 9 out of 10.
Amazing hotel.
Positives: Loved it all, the room, beds, bathroom, and the view.
Negatives: I couldn't stay longer.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 16 Jul 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
The hotel staff was friendly and courteous. The mattresses definitely need to be replaced - we were glad we only had to spend one night on them. The continental breakfast is minimal and the coffee was bad but the food tasted good. We might stay there again if the mattresses were replaced.
Positives: The location was great and was close to cannery row and fisherman's wharf.
Negatives: The mattresses were awful; definitely need to be replaced.

This hotel was great for the star level. Staff was very friendly, liked the continental breakfast, daily newspaper and location of the hotel. The aquarium was less than 10 minutes walking distance away. We would stay again.
Positives: Continental breakfast, daily newspaper, fire place.
Negatives: Beds too soft.

The hotel was very clean and well kept. Staff was very friendly. We were able to walk to the aquarium and to dinner.
Positives: The bed was very comfy and the staff was excellent.
Negatives: No AC in the room. It got rather warm but we managed with it by opening the patio door.

A nice clean property close to Cannery Row attractions and Downtown is just a 5 minute drive. The Victorian Inn is a modern hotel built adjacent to the original Victorian building. It houses the lobby and breakfast dinning room. There is a fireplace in every room.
Positives: Very close to Monterey Cannery Row and Aquarium is only 5 blocks away.
Negatives: The hotel's photos are somewhat misleading because the rooms are no where near the Victorian look. It's very modern.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 11 Feb 2008 rated 7 out of 10.
Typical Best Western, clean, not fancy. Fireplace in room is nice. Great location for tourists. $12 parking is just wrong. Unfortunately, walls have no insulation so you get to know your neighbors. Continental breakfast was acceptable.
Positives: Good location to Cannery Row.
Negatives: Walls are paper thin.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 06 Feb 2008 rated 8 out of 10.
Room was nice, but had small towels in bathroom. Asked for king room' got queen.
Positives: Wine and cheese social hour.
Negatives: Registration space and parking fee.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 16 Jan 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
I'm not a picky person when it comes to hotels. I could have stayed somewhere more luxurious for the same amount of money with having to pay for parking. I have to say the fee for parking was the most disappointing thing about this hotel, but other than that it was a decent place to stay.
Positives: It was clean and cozy.
Negatives: I didn't like that there was a $12 charge for parking.

My husband and I have made the Victorian inn our "home away from home" for the past seven Christmas holidays and at least once or twice for other mini-vacations during the year. We love it! The staff is attentive, the rooms are clean, kept up nicely and well-appointed. The added touch of the fireplace in every room adds to the coziness and lends a romantic air to the rooms. We enjoy the continental breakfast and the wine and cheese reception. They truly strive to make one feel at home. It is conveniently located just two blocks from cannery row which is a real plus as you can park your car and walk most everyplace you want to go.
Positives: Everything - we love it!
Negatives: Nothing.
