Love the vibe and feel at this hotel. Good breakfast and really gives a good experience of how it feels to have lived in the 70s or so. The only inconvient part was that there are no lifts. So travel light if you want to stay here, otherwise you will need to carry up your luggage up flights if stairs from the parking area as well as to the rooms from the main entrance.
the best hotel / motel I have every stayed in. The room was amazing. It even had windows that opened to allow fresh air in. The room was very spacious. The bathroom was very large. The beds were comfortable. The main room was very spacious. The room even had a refrigerator and a microwave
My wife and I planned a last minute trip to Monterey. I read a lot of the reviews for Deer Haven Inn and dismissed the bad ones and gave it a try and we are glad we did. We reserved the king bed with fireplace The fire place was simple and a nice touch to the room The bathroom was huge with 2 shower heads. The front desk was very pleasant and the price was extremely reasonable 10 minutes from The Monterey Bay Aquarium and the 17 mile drive Very close to Carmel. You are 5-10 minutes from food and a Safeway market Best part, only an 8 minute walk to the beach Pure white sand and a beautiful area. You won’t be disappointed It’s not a huge room, but I’m not one to hang out in my room all day. We will stay here again on our next visit It’s simple, affordable and in the middle of everything you need to have fun and a great vacation Small tip, if your going to the aquarium, take an Uber and save time on finding parking It’s only about $13 each way
My husband and I stayed here at the end of a five-day trip to the Central Coast. Of all the places we stayed at, this was the oddest and most disappointing. Usually we stay at Asilomar, but we decided to save a bit of money and stay here, which looked like a nice, friendly inn right in town. Things were odd almost from the beginning, as I got a phone call asking if this was a good number for me as they had some check-in instructions to text me. Sure enough, when we arrived, we had to use two codes to open the front door and room door. No one was on site to greet us. I never did figure out what to do with the registration slip that was left on our bed, so I just filled it out and left it. The next disappointment was our room, which was in the back of the property on the 2nd floor. My husband is 6 ft. tall, so it was hard for him to keep from knocking his head on much of the ceiling. This room would be good for a single (short) person or for a couple of kids traveling with their parents staying next door. For a couple, it felt very cramped. Another disappointment was no breakfast. As this is a Victorian with a large dining room, we were surprised no food was offered. There are coffee machines in room (powdered creamer, ick) and also downstairs. One nice amenity was a large fridge where you could stow perishable items. I donated a carton of half and half to the rest of the travelers. Another nice amenity was the parking lot, but again, that was also very cramped. Shower could use an upgrade. Overall, disappointing.
3. Grumpy gal behind desk upon check in. Hard to understand. Room updated. TV connection pooped out, stopped working. Fifty cent mattress, adequate. Good location for walking to town. Lots of construction on going. Would not stay there again for prices charged.
