The Monterey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, great location, friendly staff!"

Monterey Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful view right on the beach, has two hot tubs one overlooking the ocean, a good breakfast was brought to the room , hotel staff was really nice they actually let me check in 5 hours early and upgraded my room I think cause they saw it was my birthday the day before, also was only a 13 minute walk to the aquarium 10/10 will be back "

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Third time here and loved it just as much. Rooms are spacious and quiet. The amenities are more than adequate without being fancy. Location is excellent! Lovely pool and pool area. And we love the in-room fireplace, too. We’ll be back! My only request would be to upgrade the electric car charging. Level 1 connections are way, way too slow to be useful. "

Hyatt Carmel Highlands

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in team was friendly, property was amazing. Fitness room was very nice. Unfortunately the coffee machine in the room did not work, not their fault but I did let them know. And I sent a message through the app and evidently they don’t read it so if you want something special, you need to talk to them. "
