Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa
The room service was the worst. Ordered chicken noodle soup. When it arrived it tasted like it came from the can so I called the front desk and to tell them this and asked why it tasted unseasoned. I was told that it was from a Campbell soup can which absolutely threw me.

Carmel Bay View Inn
Room was recently redone and very nice and even had a fireplace. View was great and breakfast buffet pretty good. No waffles but they had scrambled eggs and alternated between bacon and sausage links. It was nice being able to walk just two blocks to Ocean Ave to go shopping.
