I've stayed in a number of Upper Munras motels in Monterey over the years and this one ranks as one of the best. My king room was large and comfortable with a good bathroom with a tub/shower combo. It was close to town (about 15 minutes walk) and was easy walk to old wharf and downtown dining. Good parking in the back section that offered exit onto Cass Street. I walked to Trader Joe's. Front desk was pleasant and helpful and check-in was easy. There's ice available too. I look forward to staying here again. It seemed like a good value too.

The rate was affordable and in a decent location with lovely landscaping. We recieved a free upgrade to a King suite and everything was very clean.
When we asked for extra pillows and a blanket, they told us they "didn't have any" despite the fact that it's a basic thing hotels should have available for guests and they had vacancies for the entirety of our stay. I suffer from chronic pain and an extra pillow would have made the difference between a painful morning and a pain-free one. I didn't appreciate the lack of effort to accommodate my needs as a guest.

A spacious quiet unit with a comfortable bed king size bed. All facilities including microwave, fridge, coffee maker,tv, and a fireplace! The managers are extremely helpful suggesting places to go and we appreciated the upgrade to a king size room as we were staying longer. A very affordable inn in an excellent location within walking distance of Fisherman’s Wharf, old Monterey buildings and down town Monterey. An 8 minute drive to Cannery Row. Plenty of free off street parking. We have already recommended The Arbor Inn to friends in Canada, the US of A and New Zealand.
A wider, heavier curtain on the door side window would help block out the verandah security light.

Convenient location. Our second time staying. Booked a king our second visit and had a downstairs room. It was different in comparison to our first visit having a king room upstairs. I do prefer the latter because of the aesthetic it gave, nice color in the room and the spacious appearance of the vault ceiling. Regardless our recent room was sufficient and good value. The room provided our basic amenities we needed with the microwave, fridge, hairdryer, coffee machine and tv with sufficient channels (we don't watch much tv) playing mainstream movie hits. The location is reasonably walkable to the wharf. Overall our go to back up place. I do appreciate the convenience to toss our trash located by the parking lot if we ordered food by uber and was too big to toss in the room.

The room with two queen beds and fireplace(which I especially appreciated) was clean, A/C & heater, fridge & microwave worked well, plenty of hot water and the attendants were very nice. Parking was great - right downstairs, so I could see it from the room. The bathroom area/sink & floor was polished granite, carpet was nice & clean. Basic hotel towels seemed a little thicker than the standard really cheap ones. Pretty quiet too and road noise could be blocked out by using the A/C.
It was second level, so had to carry items upstairs. I mean, bellhops are always nice - as are elevators, however, the price point was good. It was a good value and comfortable. Felt safe as well, however, an extra upper door lock latch would have been welcomed. I would stay again =)

I really loved my stay at the Arbor Inn. Friendly reception and the room was great. Spacious with a high ceiling (I did get upgraded from a regular queen to a double queen room, all for myself, which was nice), very private, very comfortable bed and clean. Coffee maker and microwave came in handy (a few more refills for the coffee pads would be nice). Walking distance to Monterey town. And it was quiet at night. And the price was affordable compared to some other places. Recommended! If I'm ever in Monterey again I'll probably just stay at the Arbor Inn again.
Nothing really.

Super clean, great and new looking rooms. Beds very comfy. I loved how the cards to get into rooms are tap not insert, it works very easy. All rooms also have a double dead bolt which made us feel very safe. It was great walking distance from Alvarado street, only a 10min walk. We were able to walk to some bars and walk back. Super safe area and very quiet.
The two older staff persons were very nice and polite. It seems a family owns it. Their daughter however was a bit strange. My husband went to go ask for some extra towels since the rooms only had 1 each per person and I have lots of hair. She kept asking him questions as to why we needed 2 extra? Like what’s the big deal?

Great little gem of a property! Laxi the manager was so kind and welcoming. Our second floor room had a fireplace - super easy to turn on with a switch and high ceilings. Beds were very comfortable - in the middle of firm and soft - just right with lots of pillows. Fridge and microwave were handy and there was a little table and chair to eat at or do laptop work. Bathroom was very clean and hot water was hot in sink. Water pressure was right on also!
We were on second floor so used stairs. No elevator but we made it work as we requested second floor.

The room was clean, and the two double beds were nicely made, attractive, and comfortable. The location was great. It was on Munras Ave, which is a great street to be on because it's very close to the center of town, Fremont Ave (which leads you to the CA 1 freeway, an easy route to Carmel, Carmel Valley, and more! They have a bench for your suitcase and an extra folding suitcase bench in the closet. Microwave and refrigerator, It's only 5 minutes to the pier and shops.
Parking could be a challenge. The room has a 24" x 24" table and one comfortable chair. Other than that, there is nowhere else to sit and relax (except for the bed). Logging into the free WIFI was awkward.

Very helpful, friendly and polite staff. They made a great recommendation for supper within walking distance (A Chinese restaurant with Chinese people eating in it - always a good sign) Comfy and clean room. Charmingly old fashioned look to the outside but the interior is modern and comfortable. Location easy to find. It's not walking distance to shore - which would have been nice. I could have worked that out when booking I guess (but I booked it from UK without ever being in Monterey before). I expect bay-side hotels are much more expensive. We were just passing through - this place is ideal for that. Drove to the waterside in the morning which is worth doing and although it was quiet (November) we could sit outside and have coffee looking at the ocean.
Nothing.
