Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
6/10 Okay
"The soap in the bathroom was empty and the amenities where just ok.. the only good part that kept this hotel is the ocean view and the beach area .. I Don’t give this place a 5 star hotel Rates there is other places much cheaper and better quality."
"For me, a 5-star rating is perfect so I don't give many 5-star ratings. Well, the place isn't perfect, but it's pretty close. It's a new place. It's a very nice place. It's in downtown Carmel and has a good location. It's clean and comfortable. The staff was always friendly and helpful. We'll probably stay there again.
That said, here are the few areas we didn't care for.
1) There are lights under the bed that come on when you get out of bed. We don't want lights on in the middle of the night if we need to get up for some reason because that disturbs our sleep. We asked them to disable that after the first night, which they did.
2) The thermostat doesn't seem accurate. It seemed to be 2-4 degrees warmer than the reading. For example, we set it to warm to 68 which is normally cool and comfortable for us, but when it heated the room to 66, it seemed on the hot side for us. We dealt with this by just turning off the heater.
3) There were literally 4 people standing there checking us in. Sometimes between two of them they even asked us the same question twice. We just want to check-in, park our car, and get the key to our room. We don't need 4 people to do that."
"In the room price category of $240 per night in the early month of May, the very old TV should be replaced by a smart TV with YouTube, Amazon Prime, and NetFlix, etc. The outlets of the two nightstand lamps did not work at all."
"Carmel Valley Lodge was amazing! There are so many positive things to comment on! The outdoor life size games like Chess, Connect 4, Jenga were super cool! The pool area was beautiful and quiet - I loved the loungers, the hot tub, the fire pit. My room also had a partially closed off front porch which I enjoyed sitting out there drinking coffee, listening to the birds. There aren't enough words to describe the greatness of the staff - from the greeting when I entered to the small talk about tv shows to the simple check out (P.S. they have a nice shop with lots of hand made items so bring extra spending monies!) Even the young woman setting out breakfast was kind and helpful! The room was lovely, I adore the fireplace, the look and feel of the room felt like home, it was clean and had all amenities needed! As a solo, female traveler I felt safe and taken care of here!"
"The grounds were beautiful-lots of stairs! The staff was very friendly. We did have some issues with our room-heater didn’t work, dead bolt was broke! Sink didn’t drain and we were w/o one for half a day. Maintenance did come and worked on it-which caused a sewage smell in our room.
When I checked out I informed the front desk of these issues. The employee I spoke with said he was going to talk to the manager and see if any adjustments could be made. He would text me with the information before my card was charged! I never heated from him agsin. I followed up twice by leaving messages and ZERO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. It really wasn’t about the money but a call back andvir follow up would have been the right thing to do! I will never stay again…"
"Well appointed room, great special event with oyster bar and drinks. Shearwater dining was convenient and food selection was great. Service from the front desk to the restaurant and event staff was excellent. Thanks for a great time!"
