The Monterey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Located right in the heart of Old Monterey this historic building is close to shops and the beach. Very helpful staff and a very unique building."

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are excellent from the Bell hop to the Concierge! We were there for a special occasion and recieved a very nice bottle of wine to enjoy in our room. Also at the Bar while waiting for our room to be ready I ordered a couple scotch on the rocks and in conversation with the bartender mentioned it was our 47th anniversary with that he gave us a very nice pour! We enjoyed our stay and highly recomend the Monterey Plaza to all!"

Sand Castle Inn

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean which is the most important thing for me. There could be some attention to basic maintenance in some areas of the room, but overall I had no issues. The first night we arrived late and there was no onsite parking available as the lot was full. We were able to park on the street though and it was not an issue. The rest of the time we were easily able to find parking on site. Beds were comfortable and the property was quiet. We would stay again."

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"As we walked into the large lobby/bar area people were chatting, a few dogs and kids were among them and many folks were enjoying a beverage. The view of the ocean ran the length of the great room and we glimpsed the bar to the right and a gorgeous fireplace to the left. Many folks were enjoying the soccer matches on a few big screens. Our check -in was quick with gracious staff and our grand daughter was excited to take her complimentary s’more supplies down to the beach fireplaces. The rooms were comfy and well supplied. The beach was gorgeous. The restaurant was outstanding. Great family vacation place"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside

8/10 Good

"Good place, has a common area large and spacious for Morning breakfast and day time use like watching games. The feeling is of a dorm although cleaner. Pros: Breakfast offering is great. Cook to order omelette s and other assortment of breakfast. Rooms are spacious, especially the suites. Indoor swimming and amenities, evening bar. Great staff and service Cons: Common areas might not be that clean, restroom and swimming area. Due to the high occupancy. Only 3 elevators, gets quite busy at times for the 12 floors. One of them was out of order Some hidden fees to know about. Like $20 parking per day and $15 destination fee per day."
