The Otter in is in an excellent location, within a few blocks of the Aquarium and Cannery Row. The prices are very affordable for this area. (We are staying here as I write.) We have the 2 bedroom suite on the 4th floor. This hotel is kid friendly. The refrigerator, furniture, bathroom, carpet, bed linens, & curtains, are all clean---though ...

We have stayed here a few times. Yes, it is a bit rundown, and there is a lot of street noise & floor/ceiling noise. (I bring earplugs to any hotel we go to.) A lot of hotels in this affordable price range have similar complaints though. The plus is that you are within walking distance to the Aquarium and Cannery Row. It is kid friendly, ...

The Otter Inn was an experience. We walked into our room and could not stand the smell of the air freshener/cleanser that was sprayed in excess. You could hear all the guests staying around you through the walls. We were on the second floor and thought whomever was staying above us might fall through the ceiling at any moment. It was loud at ...

THE BEST THING I COULD HAVE DONE WAS GET OUT OF THERE. WE DID NOT EVEN GET A CHANCE TO CHECK IN BECAUSE OF THE HORRIBLE ATTITUDE OF THE WORKERS. IF YOU ARE IN MONTEREY CHECK OUT THE BEST WESTERN JUST UP THE STREET. NOW THAT'S A NICE PLACE TO STAY AND WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY YOU PAY FOR IT

I have been staying at the otter for over 5 years. I read the reviews below and seriously question if these people stayed at the same place. I find it hard to believe that anyone would have 2 rooms for 2 nights and hate the hotel so much that they wouldn't ask for their money back. I love the otter, great location, great staff, and a good buy ...

We left after one night, and didn't even ask for our refund for the second. We were just glad to leave!

Dirty, rundown, out-of-date, crummy place. Packaged crackers are not what I call a "continental breakfast!"

We put chairs under the door knobs for safety, and heard suspicious "rustling" noises in the night after the ...

The Otter Inn was one of the worst hotels that we have ever stayed in,The room smelled,the decor was terrible,outdated, nothing matched,looked like they got their bedspread from a thrift store,The rooms seemed dirty,will never stay here again!! And for the amount of money,clearly overpriced, the location is the only plus,walking distance to Cannery Row.Stay elswhere!!Alot of better accomadations nearby.

Kids love the queen beds and large TV; I like the hot tub; free parking; walk to aquarium and other sights of Cannery Row; best deal for the location

I have never seen such a horrible place. I reserved my room based on the fact that I had a king size bed and a Jacuzzi tub. When I called, I asked for a king size bed. When we arrived we got a king size bed. The room stunk, the "fireplace" was a box with fake flames and a "heater" on top that did not work. The other heater ...
