10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at the Victorian Inn. The room was spacious and overall it was pretty quiet. Breakfast had a good variety and we really had a good time at the wine and cheese happy hour both days we were there. If we come back to Monterey, we would definitely stay here again. We alsshe had a good time too. The hotel provided a pack and play, which worked out so well.d a toddler and it worked out so well. The staff was helpful and friendly."
