Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Monterey Beachfront-Marina, CA

4/10 Poor

"the room was meh, bodily fluids on the sheets, burn holes in the sheets. do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to get a nicer room"

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"Good, no-frills, affordable place to stay with my dog for 3 nights. Also only about 20-40 minutes direct drive to places around Monterey Bay. Does have a lack of basic amenities (no shampoo, shower gel), only one tiny bar of soap for bathroom shower and sink. Staff friendly and helpful."

Best Western Marina State Beach

6/10 Okay

"This is a total "you get what you pay for" situation. On the one hand, it's sort of walking distance to Marina State Beach (if you're not carrying much). And, it's maybe 20-25% of the cost of a room at the spectacular Sanctuary Resort across the road. The reception staff was nice enough, and got us in a little earlier than the 3PM check-in, which we appreciated. Our room was clean, and the bed is comfortable. However, it's super poorly maintained otherwise. When we arrived, we couldn't use the deadbolt. They sent up a guy to fix it after we called on our cell because the phone in the room didn't work. So, we had to wait 30 minutes or so to be able to lock the door. My brother-in-law booked a second room, and his deadbolt did not work either, but he figured out how to lift the door in the frame to get it to lock. We brought leftover from lunch, but the fridge didn't work. Later, I spilled some water on my pants and wanted to dry them with the hair dryer. Guess what? It didn't work! My partner wanted some snacks from the vending machine, which a) was almost empty and b) you guessed it! Didn't work! So, if you're keeping count, that's: deadbolt, phone, fridge, hair dryer, vending machine. We're only staying one night while we check out the Sanctuary for a family event later in the year, so it's not a big deal. But if you had to stay longer than that, I'd say it's a hard "no." You have to know the average 4 ★ rating is all about the location."

Comfort Inn Marina on the Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing and responsive. Our room was clean and updated. They had ice water and coffee/tea available in the lobby throughout the day. The beds and the pillows were super comfortable. We would definitely stay at this property again in the future."

Inn At Moss Landing Point

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service, free parking, super clean facility (better than a lot of high end hotels I’ve been to), and the nightly popcorn was a great touch. Hotel being right next to the road didn’t bother me at all since I sleep with white noise anyways. Only complaint is the water pressure in the shower was a bit too high. But overall I would recommend this hotel and would come back again."
