Otter Inn

The location was very convenient but noisy because1. the seagulls were constanly flying around and perching on the hotel 2. the plumbing was bad so every time someone in the adjacent rooms took a shower it sounded like a water fall! So we found it very hard to sleep well.

It was a below average accommodation for the price we paid ($650 for two nights). WE could hear the people walking on the floor above us. The coffee machine was in the bath room facing the toilet. Good part was that we could walk to major attractions and restaurants. But the living place, in fact the whole inn was quite uninviting. Reception area is almost non-existent. The lady did not even give me a AAA Discount because it was a special weekend! Except the INN, it was a good trip.

The guy at the desk was great, and the location was decent. Before we even saw our room, we paid for a 2nd night. The room we got had a jacuzzi and a "fireplace (with a lamp cord to plug it in). The jacuzzi leaked, and had to be the first invented by the age/ color/ size. the transition strip between bathroom floor and room was loose and had nails sticking out. the foyer light did not work. The toilet would get stuck when flushed and run endlessly unless we took the lid off and pushed the plunger back down. Not worth the 215 a night we ended up paying. And the heater is NOT kid friendly, about 1' off the ground and gets hot. You have to get to the ground to even turn it on!

Great Location, older facility but kept up well, clean inside and out. very nice and pleasant Employees. will go back here next time.

I bought this from the advertisement. It stated that it was partial ocean views, fireplace, etc. and I had none of that. I was there during the US Open on a Wednesday night so they charged $450 dollars for a room with two beds. It is highway robbery they should be ashamed that they got that amount for a dirty room. There was something thick and brown on the carpet that was fresh that I don't even want to know what it was. I had to walk around with flip flops because I was afraid of what was on the carpet.

When we walked in, we were greeted most readily. We came two hours before check in, and the front desk person let us check in early and gave us a room with a view to the ocean! We were quite fortunate. The hotel had free parking and it was close to the free tourist trolly. We were able to walk out to Cannery Row easily and get to Fisherman's Warf in no time. The bathrooms are decent and the beds are comfy. They had free Wi-fi too! There was also a fridge in the room as well as a microwave out in the hallway. Since the hotel is close to Cannery Row, there was definitely a lot of load music heard up until 2AM for the local restaurants. However, for the price, everything was great! Check out is at 12pm and the front desk person said we were free to stay parked until 3pm if we liked. This place worked out great!

We biked and hiked.

Great location. Older rooms, but clean and within very short walking distance of Cannery Row.

great.

My fiancé and I stayed at the Otter Inn while I ran the Big Sur International Marathon. We read some questionable reviews prior to our stay but decided to try the Inn anyway. That decision turned out to be a very wise one. Our stay was great! The location was perfect (and just as good as some friends that stayed at a much more expensive motel). We were able to walk, slowly, to all our favorite locations. The room was a bit outdated but very clean. The staff was wonderful (wish we have gotten her name). They even let us keep our car parked in the garage past our check out time, which is much better than searching, and I mean SEARCHING for another parking space. The Otter Inn gets both thumbs up from us. And yes, I finished my first ever marathon in 4:48:22.
