Nice place, bit old and a bit rundown, the fabric chair in our room had old stains on it. But parking was great and easy, we walked easily down to the dock area, and numerous resteraunts, felt quite safe.

This is by far the best hotel I have ever stayed. It is older, on the historic register. The rooms are so charming and extremely inviting. Everything was very clean as well. Our room had a balcony that overlooked a well maintained rose garden and courtyard. So very quiet and peaceful. We even slept with the patio door opened! Staff was friendly and helpful. They even gave me a little goodie bag as they knew I was running the Big Sur Marathon. I highly recommend the Merritt House!

First time staying here and unfortunately was a frustrating experience. Start with the good - maids were friendly and effective in keeping the place clean. We checked in on a Wednesday and out on Saturday. Breakfast nook quaint and OK with basic options (bagels/toast, hard-boiled eggs, muffins/pastries, apples/oranges, yogurt, cheerios/Raisin Bran, coffee but nothing other than cold water for kids). Now for the frustrating - on day 1 we informed the front desk the tv was not working. They had no ideas but said they would get back to us. I proceeded to check in each morning/evening before/after our day’s activities. I was told repeatedly they would talk to a manager. Long story short, they NEVER fixed or even FOLLOWED UP with an update. There is no maintenance person onsite and the nice girls that work the front desk really had no idea how to help drive to a solution. I didn’t expect them to be able to provide tech support personally, but at least contact someone who could. Just very poor customer service. Two other things to note. 1- After checking in and seeing our room had no tub (just a walk-in shower) I asked if there was another room we could switch to that would be better for our small child. Answer: “None of our rooms have tubs.” 2 - The heater in our room was one of the older baseboard radiant heaters (not a problem by itself). Unfortunately it was located right behind a bed headboard (literally touching it) which felt unsafe and tough to sleep .
