Navy Gateway Inns & Suites

Checked in here after having an issue with another hotel. It was great!
There’s no sign on the outside. I think the registration place says Hermann hall. We had to drive the loop a few times to figure it out.
The front desk was accommodating and described places to eat and how to navigate the base. The rooms are older but re-​done. We stayed in a king deluxe with a small kitchen (with silverware, plates, frying pan, spatula), half fridge, sitting area, bathroom and bedroom. The bed was nicely done. The bathroom and living area was slightly outdated but clean.
We will definitely stay on base again if in the area. $ 160 for two nights was a great deal!

Great accommodations for a very reasonable price! You can’t really beat it when you compare it to hotel prices in the Monterey area.
One disclaimer before I go on ***there is no air conditioning*** It is a very old building. You can open the windows to let in some ocean air, but be forewarned. If it’s hot outside, you better believe that it’s going to be hot inside. I came to Monterey in the early summer, so the weather was pretty mild. It was around ~75 deg in my room at night. A little warmer than I’m used to, but bearable. After a full day of walking around Monterey Bay, you won’t even notice the difference. You’ll sleep like a baby.
Highly recommend this hotel for many other reasons… to include the old historic building that it is situated in, the manicured gardens, and the accessibility of the beach, running trails, and downtown. Old Fisherman’s wharf if .75 miles away, downtown is 1 mile away, and Cannery Row is 2 miles away. What’s not to love?

Came to Monterey for a weekend trip with my family and my father in law booked my husband and I a room at the Navy Gateway Inn & Suites. The site is beautiful and occupies the historic Del Monte hotel and resort which dates all the way back to 1878.
So much history in this place. Take a stroll through the gardens and walk through the incredible ball room and just admire the architecture. Everything is just absolutely gorgeous!
A standard room is ~$ 60/​night and the rooms are quite spacious with their high ceilings, clean and include a kitchenette with a Keurig coffee maker hallelujah! They have most amenities needed including free wifi! The bed is so comfortable that we slept through the night and woken up sometimes to the subtle tune of God Bless America I think it was coming from the neighboring chapel? Not quite sure but just let me emphasize that it wasn’t loud and definitely wasn’t a blaring trumpet or anything. Take into consideration that the place is older so there will be some creaking and the walls are thin but during our stay here it was quiet most of the time. Unfortunately, they do not have a continental breakfast on the weekends and where were the peacocks that were so mentioned? I was looking forward to seeing them roaming around the grounds but did not see any. On the other hand though, there were a ton of other wildlife… squirrels as well as geese and other beautiful birds around.
Note that it might be quite difficult and quite strict to get on the grounds if you don’t have a military ID. I believe that there is a multi-​day process in order to get in and out of the premises without a military ID so make sure you plan in advance and have proper identification so that there isn’t any confusion at the gate. The location of the Navy Gateway Inn & Suites is so convenient and just minutes away from the Monterey Waterfront and Cannery Row. Would definitely want to stay here again while visiting Monterey if we had the opportunity.

We placed many of our relatives and out of town guests here when we had our recent wedding on campus. The price and location were winning factors in agreeing to go through the ringer with protocol of how to reserve, check in, and manage a group as large as ours coming on campus. Without the amazing and exceptional talents of Cindy and Christina at the front desk and group reservations, there is no way that this task would have been accomplished. Those two ladies get 5 stars all the way.
Beyond that, the grounds are gorgeous, the rooms spacious, and if you’re housed in the main building, the rooms are well maintained, and luxurious. I had a few complaints from guests staying in either side wing that they weren’t entirely happy with their rooms, but for the price, they were willing to settle. I was blessed to have the Admiral 4 star’s VIP ($ 80/​night) suite at the left south most room overlooking the flagpole on the second floor, and wow, what a beautiful suite for the wedding prep, bachelorette party, and photos. That suite had a king bed with luxury linens, spacious closets, a bathroom with pretty much every amenity possible, a private hallway, a gigantic seating room, a kitchen, two TVs, reliable internet, and large windows on all outward facing walls.
This hotel is the perfect mix of historic relevance, price, location, and realistically attainable elegance, all while being ensconced in the safety of a US Navy base. Once guests clear the initial background check process, future stays on campus are a breeze. I know my parents have already returned to stay since, and are planning to return soon because for $ 60/​night, how can you possibly beat that in Monterey?!

Can’t complain about the price and the convenience, plus PCS priority helps secure a comfy room. Hallways are old and creaky and walls can be thin, but it’s a historic iconic hotel. On a quiet week it shouldn’t be a problem.
The room is spacious and made for the longer term stay, complete with a storage closet and a kitchenette with mini fridge, keurig, microwave, stovetop, a few place settings and a small eating or prep table. There’s room between the bed and desk to move about comfortably. High ceilings add to the spacious element.
Friendly staff at the desk and easy check in.
Glad to make it our last stop
