Renamed after John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row, this historic area has transformed since the gritty industrial days described in the book.

Cannery Row was a busy sardine canning district, until the industry collapsed after overfishing. The grand old warehouses have been repurposed and today a vibrant blend of old and new make Cannery Row look quite attractive indeed. One warehouse has the amazing Monterey Bay Aquarium. Galleries, boutiques, historical attractions and restaurants fill the other warehouses. And, because of its setting on Monterey Bay, Cannery Row is always good for great ocean views.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,003 reviews)

Overall OK except the bath tub was elevated which caused me to accidentally fall as I was getting off the bathtub after my shower. I hit my head against the bathroom door & hit my right elbow on the floor as I landed hard. The bathtub floor was not on the same level of the bathroom floor.

Nice accommodations and great staff. Distance from main attractions and lack of nearby dining a bit of a minus.
