"This hotel is the only in Monterey area situated right on the endless sand beach.
The hotel has everything to enjoy a luxury stay: pool, jacuzzi, sauna and cold plunge, great lounge with fireplace and panoramic windows to the bay, complementary wine, very friendly staff. Our most favorite place to stay."
"Staying at Merritt House was an all around good experience and I would definitely stay again. There were four of us traveling together and we slept comfortably in room 1 on two queen beds. We all agreed the room could use the following amenities: hooks and a table! It would be helpful to have more hooks to hang towels and clothes and a table would come in handy for eating, game playing, etc. The breakfast room was lovely and included coffee, tea, bagels, cinnamon toast, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal and pastries. Staff was friendly and arranged for a late check in as we were arriving after 6pm. Seamless and efficient! Aside from a couple lacking amenities, it was a nice stay."
