Do a text search for "kbig", who not so long ago was another person looking for a hotel in this area and she/he also claimed to be "picky". You should find some good answers from that thread.
My parents stayed a few years ago at the Tickle Pink Inn in Carmel Highlands, and it was gorgeous: huge room with an outstanding view of the Pacific.
For me, it was too out of the way, especially with a child. Out of the way meaning we have a yearly three day conference in Monterey. Earlier this year, we stayed at the Hotel Pacific, which was perfect for us. Yes, it is nice and upscale. It is an all suite hotel and my only suggestion is to ask for a room away from Pacific Street, as I have heard from other posters there is some noise. The rooms are large and wonderful, with feather bedding. Separate living and dining area; coffee, utensils, plates, wine glasses and a fridge. A t.v. in the bedroom area that turns into the living room. The living room has a fireplace. The bathroom is nicely tiled with two sinks and bath in one room, and wc and shower in a separate closed area of the bathroom. Great little amenities, including a small black & white t.v. in the bathroom. From there, you can walk downtown and to the wharf, which is almost across the street. You can either walk (close to a mile) or drive to Cannery Row and the Aquarium.
