Find No Deposit Stays in Monterey, CA

In Monterey, most hotels land around $110–$250 a night — that’s the sweet spot for a comfy stay without the splurge. Step down a notch into the Value tier and you’ll often see rates near $90–$110 — a nice trade-off if you’re watching costs. On the flip side, Upscale options start near $250+ — think newer builds, prime locations, or extra amenities. Tip: prices move with demand — checking a couple of dates, looking just outside core neighborhoods, or booking a bit early can unlock better deals.

For motels, expect higher-end picks from $90+.
