Hotel 1110

Was hard finding this place cause it looked like a normal apartment building. Kinda looked ghetto. Took us a while to find the parking lot but it only has 5 space, so you have to street park. I was told the neighborhood is good but it looked a bit suspect, but we had no issues the entire time. It’s on a main street so it’s noisy, beware.
Check-​in was pleasant. The lady in the front was very nice to us and it was a cute, mom and pop shop-​like place. Very botiquey. She explained when happy hour is, when we get our free drinks and free breakfast. Then walked us to our room. Already a pretty bad impression when you go to the room and electricity doesn’t work. So the lady walks and starts resetting the fuses from the nearby electrical panel. Room was tiny (but I didn’t expect much from Monterey) and it did come with a balcony, but it was blocked from all views cause it had a 20 foot wall. Plus there were two large windows from other rooms on that balcony so it wasn’t even our own balcony. There was an AC unit or something right in front of the balcony door as well, which generated noise. Speaking of AC, we didn’t even have an AC unit in the room and it got warm, so we had to keep the door open, which we weren’t too comfortable with.
Bed wasn’t too comfortable, was just OK. Blanket seems a bit old and dated, the TV was always staticy even though they had cable. Bathroom was decent except for the fact they used the soap/​shampoo/​conditioner/​shower gel dispensers. I understand it’s convenient for the staff and less maintenance, but I don’t know how old the soap is.
Couple additional issues was that there weren’t many outlets for us to plug our phones/​tablets in. Also, we had no door handle when the rest of the doors had it. It was a simple deadbolt… that being said, we couldn’t hang the «do not disturb» sign anywhere so we placed it on the floor. Breakfast was just OK. Everyone keeps raving on how good it is, it really is just OK. The OJ was probably the cheap ones that come from the gallon jugs. We didn’t even do breakfast the following day cause we had something better elsewhere. It really deserves a 2.5 as I’d give them half a star more for the kind service, but I’ve stayed at other places in Monterey at a better location and cheaper that appealed better. Don’t let the pictures fool you from what they advertise, it’s really much smaller than pictures show and it looks a bit more ghetto.

My stay was for a romantic getaway. The hotel and room was clean, very small, but clean. I ordered champagne, fruit and cheese tray for the room, when I booked. The champagne was warm and I received strawberry shortcake with some goat cheese for $ 90. Ok, not what I expected, but I made it work. Unfortunately, I looked at the menu the rooftop lounge offered… Strawberry shortcake $ 6… Now I am feeling cheated! If that’s what Hotel 1110 calls good business, I will take mine elsewhere in the future. This was my experience, hope it helps yours.

My boyfriend and I wanted to get away for the weekend and visit Monterey, one of our favorite places in California. We set a budget, but many of the hotels were too expensive for us and we were thinking of just cancelling the trip or going somewhere else instead. He finally found a
listing for Hotel 1110, offering a top floor queen suite, daily complimentary breakfast, access to the rooftop lounge and more, all for about $ 250/​night. We jumped on the deal immediately and excitedly checked out the website and location to plan ideas for when our trip arrived.
Fast forward to our arrival — we got to Monterey early Friday morning and spent a few hours checking out the aquarium. After lunch and exploring Cannery Row, we headed over to Hotel 1110 for our 3pm check-​in. I read other reviews that mentioned it was hard to find parking, but we had no problem finding a spot on the street right outside. The woman at the front desk greeted us immediately and after checking in and giving us our key, gave a quick tour of the hotel lobby, lounge and breakfast area before letting us go up to our room.
We had the Princess Diana queen bed suite on the third floor. I anticipated a small room, but what we received was almost like two rooms combined! It was very spacious, with a bedroom area, sitting area with fold-​out couch and fireplace, and two bathrooms. It was beautifully furnished and decorated, spotless and a nice temperature. We were ecstatic!
There is a happy hour on the rooftop lounge every evening from 5−7pm, where each guest gets a complimentary glass of beer or wine. The lounge is spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean and wharf. We each received a complimentary drink and found a table to sit and relax. All of the staff were very friendly and attentive. The grilled strawberries with vanilla ice cream and a balsamic reduction were so tasty!
We heard rave reviews about the complimentary breakfast as well. On Saturday morning, we started with a grilled peach fritter-​like pastry with whipped cream, followed by poached eggs in a house tomato sauce with bacon and avocado. I was OBSESSED with the poached eggs in tomato sauce and am now on a mission to try and recreate something similar myself so I can have it all the time. On Sunday morning, we started with yogurt with sliced apples, almonds and topped with honey, followed by french toast. My boyfriend loves french toast so this was right up his alley, and it didn’t disappoint.
We also loved that the hotel was very close to Fisherman’s Wharf. Each night we stayed there, we took a leisurely walk along the beach to the wharf around dinner time and enjoyed watching the otters and boats in the harbor while getting something to eat.
I had an amazing time at Hotel 1110 and already want to plan another weekend trip to Monterey. My boyfriend and I were able to relax and feel less stressed when returning home and to work the following week. If you have an open mind and enjoy quirky, smaller bed and breakfast hotels with very personable and «family style» customer service, then this place is for you!

Amazing place, so friendly and rooms are great. In an awesome location as well. The rooftop bar is a great place to sit and look at the ocean and grab some food. Food there was amazing and the chef came out himself to make sure everything was perfect (which it was!). The complimentary breakfast was amazing as well. The blueberry cobbler and main course were much more than expected and will definitely only be staying here when traveling through!!!

So nice to find a local place that remind us of our time spent in Europe! Every detail has been carefully attended to and it shows. The breakfast is absolutely perfect! The roof top lounge is a gem, great tapas, wonderful service, spectacular view, very comfortable. The rooms are very comfortable, sized perfectly, cozy beds, huge tubs, robes, bidets! What more can you ask for?
We stay here a couple times a year to get away from our kids ;) and we live in Pacific Grove, so as a local… its the best deal on the Peninsula, hands down! We recommend it to everyone coming to town and will continue to consider it a local gem!

Hidden gem. European style inn with great old world finishes, modern bathrooms and wonderful hospitality!
The breakfast is two courses and gourmet. The price is right and the bar/​restaurant roof deck is a bonus. b The breakfast nook has a kitchen off of it where the gourmet breakfast is created and then the roof deck has a different team very friendly staff and the chef cooks on multiple barbecues.
They are located right on Del Monte Avenue so it’s not the quietest spot –no problem for me.
You can request a quieter room when you make your reservation… this place is really unique and very special.!!

My husband booked this hotel for our honeymoon. The rooms are small but it’s very well put together. Elegantly designed. They offer complimentary breakfast and your first drink is on the house in the evening on their rooftop bar over looking the Monterey beach. We were quite pleased with our stay here.

Tried to experience this interesting location for the past year. Their hours are weather and mood dependent so call ahead. Actually, call ahead and discuss all expectations. After asking if they served dinner, we showed up with our kid for a dinner around sunset and were turned away. Their status is bar/​lounge so they don’t let anyone in under 21. This isn’t advertised very well. It’s my personal standard to give one star to places that I experience poor service or find that they do not offer what they advertise; in this case we’ve been misled twice about their ability to serve us. We’ve given up on trying to experience this place as we’ve accumulated wasted hours at this point.

Understand what you’re getting and adjust your expectations accordingly. This is a boutique hotel – bed and breakfast type, in an old building without much space. As such, the rooms are smaller than one might expect, and the amenities aren’t what you’d get at pretty much any chain hotel.
That made it perfect for our stay. The service was excellent, the room was spotless, the staff were phenomenal, and the breakfasts were above and beyond what we’d ever expect. This is not a 5-​star hotel along the lines of a Waldorf Astoria. It’s probably a true 3.5-star. But for what it is, it does it perfectly. If you don’t mind the cramped quarters, busy road, etc., you’ll love the hotel. We did, and we can’t wait to get back.

OK so, First time staying here and had an amazing experience! Not only did we get a room with an ocean view (which we requested) but we had amazing service and was a beautiful little hotel.
It’s small, which makes it even better because the staff was really nice and helpful.
We got the coco Chanel room, which I wanted, and loved it! It is small but cozy. The bathroom is all marble and gorgeous and the bathtub is awesome! You get your own key to the hotel so when they close at 10, you can still go out and come back at any time!
Parking is a little tough you have to drive through a small ally and there’s about 5 spots, but luckily we went on a week day and didn’t have any trouble parking there.
The BEST part about this hotel is definitely the rooftop lounge. Go for happy hour the guy who served us was so nice! The food is great and they have heaters or a little fire pit for u to sit by and watch the sunset. The decoration was my favorite for sure.
In the morning you can go down stairs and get a free breakfast what ever the chef making that day and it was really good and fancy!
The woman at the front desk was SO sweet and helpful she made us feel very welcome.
Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Monterey it’s the perfect location! :)

I booked a romantic getaway with my beau this weekend for Valentine’s day. It is a quaint on the outskirts of downtown Monteray. There is no guest parking, so luckily we found street parking!
We arive inside and immediately was mesmerized by the entryway. The room was smaller than we thought. The breakfast was the BEST THING EVER at this place. It is the best thing about this bed and breakfast.
One thing to keep in mind is that this place is super duper old. It was probably built like 50 – 60 years ago. Hence the walls are thin, the ceiling is creaky and my fiancé did find a cockroach on the floor. That was not fun.
But the breakfast? A-​mazing.

This was a fun, funky little B & B and my husband and I enjoyed our stay here this weekend very much.
We stayed in the Princess Suite and it was pretty cozy. Heated bathroom floors, an electric fireplace, and a jetted tub were very nice. Before heading Downtown for dinner, we enjoyed our complimentary drink on the beautifully decorated, heated patio, along with some delicious flatbread appetizers.
The hotel is conveniently located – we were able to walk to Del Monte Beach, Fisherman’s Wharf, Cannery Row, Downtown and then back to our hotel all in one evening. The breakfast included with our stay was delicious, served in the cozy dining room. I also loved the funky details like the mural of bright Victorian furniture painted on the wall, complete with real knobs.
That said, this place is a bit overpriced and the building is old and has thin walls, so there were lots of noises, making it a bit hard to fall asleep. We were able to afford to stay here one night with a promo code and discounts for booking a lot with Orbitz. We probably couldn’t afford a longer stay, but would love to come again if we could find another deal. All in all, we were happy with our stay and had a nice one-​night romantic getaway here!

Outstanding service, food and room! The roof top bar with fireplace is outstanding with great views of the ocean! Breakfast was apple fritters home made with 2^nd course of poached eggs with bavon, fresh baked bread fresh squeezed juice. My room was outstanding with my jacuzzi tub and fireplace. I don’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back!

Really really cute little boutique hotel. not to fancy but more than adequate
The lady at the front desk is also the happy hour lady and hors d’oeuvres server And she’s so sweet. Oh she serves you complimentary breakfast
Rooms are a little cheezy but tasteful cheezy
Spaced is utilized to the fullest
It was a wonderful little getaway place to see Monterey and Carmel

Spent the weekend here and really enjoyed it! The staff was very friendly, the complimentary breakfasts were amazing, and the location of the hotel is pretty close to Monterey’s attractions. It was about a $ 7 Über ride from the hotel to Cannery Row and the aquarium.
–1 star only because parking was hard to find (the hotel’s lot is really small) and our room was small and a little cramped.
We were looking forward to checking out the rooftop bar, but unfortunately it was closed because of the rainy weather. Would love to check it out if we stay here again!

In my first reaction, I though «crap, what did I just get myself into». I was certain I was the only person here and Lady Gaga would come slit my throat after seducing me.
The rooms are small but cozy. It’s definitely boutique. I sadly missed happy hour on the top deck, which seems like a wonderful spot to watch the sun go down. You can tell a lot of love and care goes into the place. Breakfast was wonderful and served by a lovely lady who I was guessing as the co-​owner of the hotel.
Don’t let the outside fool you, venture inside. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the hosts were very nice and accomodating.

Beware: if you book online and show up late you will be met with a locked door and an aggressive attitude from the rude front desk the next morning.
I was hung up on and not even considered to be given a partial refund. They did not contact me at all regarding my reservation.
They do not understand the concept of customer service. Avoid at all costs.

We arrived Thursday afternoon. We were greeted promptly by a nice young woman who I regret that I never got her name despite her being there almost our entire stay. We were about 10 minutes early and were informed that we couldn’t check in until 3, which is fine, that’s the policy. They are very firm on that but it was written in different places so unlike a few other reviewers I cant complain because I was well aware of the check in window.
We arrived at our room, the Jackie room. Yes it was small, but honestly the square footage was listed on
and their website so it shoudn’t come as a surprise. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Despite the small size there was adequate storage. We had 4 windows that opened to the back parking lot and the side street. We had great views of the hills and the park a street over. Having the 4 windows was nice to let a breeze through as the first day we were there it was very hot. They also provide a fan. The street noise was not bad but we were also in the back and not on the main street.
The rooftop lounge was excellent. The views were amazing! There were plenty of options for seating, in the shade, in the sun, or under the cover. We spent a lot of time on the roof relaxing. There are almost 360 degree views including the ocean across the way. At 5 they serve small plates and drinks. Both were delicious by the way (for an in-​depth review see my review for Lounge 1110).
Breakfast was AMAZING every morning. I cant even begin to describe how delicious it was, honestly even if I never stay here again I wish I could pay to just have breakfast haha. First morning we started off with a small serving of greek yogurt with honey, walnuts and apples. It was followed by a Dutch Baby pancakes (we call them German Pancakes) which were covered with fresh strawberries, blueberries and bananas along with powdered sugar and light syrup. I may be biased as I LOVE Dutch baby pancakes but they are a chore to make so I don’t make them often. The second morning we started off with blueberry cobbler and I am all for having dessert first, it was very yummy. We then had a poached egg served over salsa and slices of avocado which was served with a slice of french bread and bacon. The third morning we again started with the greek yogurt with honey, walnuts and apples followed by French Toast with cream cheese topped with syrup and fresh strawberries and blueberries. They also serve orange juice along with your choice of coffee or hot tea.
As for the service, we experienced nothing but pleasant and friendly people from the front desk staff who also work upstairs on the lounge and in the kitchen for breakfast, to the bartenders and the owner. Everyone was helpful and attentive. We had a few small hiccups that were quickly resolved and in a pleasant manner. On our 2^nd night we came back to our room at about 9:45pm to the smoke detector chirping because the battery needed to be replaced, we call the front desk and someone was in our room a few minutes later to investigate. Unfortunately there were no replacement batteries on site so the gentleman who was fixing it ran out to get a replacement and returned promptly to replace it. He was very apologetic about the situation but it wasn’t his or anyone’s fault the battery was dying.
And a few reviews mentioned bedbugs, which I am VERY hypervigilent about, so I ALWAYS check mattresses before I even put my bag down in the room. I pulled back the sheets and mattress cover to check all the crevices of the entire mattress and it was spotless, NO SIGNS OF ANY BEDBUGS.
Sure there are a few things I could probably nitpick about but none of them affecting my stay or my relaxing weekend staying here. I would consider staying here again in the future, however I think I would make sure I booked the largest room available.
PS– It is also 18+ ONLY. Which we really appreciated as we were there for a romantic stay for our anniversary.

Lots of reviews and all valid points. I personally expected a comfortable bed and friendly service. For what I paid, I feel like I got my money’s worth. I gave a conservative 5 stars because I would easily stay here again. My wife and I stayed here for our extended weekend honeymoon (broke from paying for our wedding). This place is B&B with a really nice makeover. If you’re looking for a full service hotel with all of the amenities, stick with the major chains.
Cons:
— Parking. Dedicated lot has 4 spaces (the rest is street parking). In all fairness, we never had an issue finding overnight parking.
–Rooms are very small.
— No staff after 10 pm
— Can’t check in til 3pm… PERIOD.
Pros:
— Breakfast is AMAZING, served in an elegant setting with excellent service. 2 course breakfast with, tea, coffee, and juice for FREE!
— Super cool Rooftop Lounge. Had dinner (tapas style) and drinks. Nice décor and great ocean view.
— Great décor. The designer really did a great job considering how small the space is. Nice touches like the Dyson fan, Dimplex heater (w faux flames), Interactiv shower system (that sprays at you from 6 jets!) Never needed AC considering we’re across the street from the Ocean.
— We consistently had great service. Staff was super friendly and you can feel the sense of pride.
This place isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for extra large rooms, valet parking, 24 hr receptionist, you’re barking up the wrong tree.
If you want quaint, character, mom and pop service, and a walk to Cannery Row, consider this place. A friend recommended this place to us and we really enjoyed our stay. Life is short. Relax and enjoy.

Okay. So I’ve been to Monterey on numerous occasions. Stayed in a lot of hotels. THIS is the BEST HOTEL in Monterey. Hands down. The staff is absolutely amazing.
Our room was very cozy and very clean and updated. They have a jet jacuzzi tub, marble tile, all updated features. Most of the furniture is IKEA, which I like. The beds are comfortable and you get lots of comfy pillows. Our room had a big screen tv, a fireplace, and double closets. They also had two portable fans in the room to blow in all the cold sea air. One Dyson bladeless and a Vornado fan. The hotel also offers free Wifi. What’s not to love?!
With access to the beach across the street it’s a win win. They have a gorgeous rooftop seating/​bar area, with a complimentary wine/​beer for guests. You also get complimentary breakfast from 8am-​10am! And the breakfast isn’t just coffee and a box of cereal. It’s a home made hearty breakfast. Coffee, orange juice, fresh fruit, etc. And did I mention, free parking?!
We had an amazing experience here. This is the hotel I will be staying at from now on whenever I’m in Monterey. Keep up the good work Hotel 1110!!! Thank you for a fantastic stay!
