Top California Sea Otter Game Refuge Hotel Reviews
The Quail
8/10 Good
"It's a nice property and well maintained. A good location--off the beaten path, but not too far off. The rooms are a bit dated and the furniture was at best unattractive. The HVAC system is quite noisy. The front desk staff was comprised of younger people, and while friendly enough, they just knew how to follow rules and give canned responses. Overall, the staff was very friendly. Food is another matter. The restaurant is technically open seven days but Sunday through Tuesday they offer only a very limited bar menu. If you plan on having a nice lunch or dinner, you'll have to look elsewhere on those evenings. The breakfast was surprising to say the least. My wife ordered the huevos rancheros. There was a lot of liquid at the bottom of her plate. Did they not drain the beans or was the dish prepared in advance? The accompanying avocado was unripe. I'm sorry but you don't let that type of thing out of the kitchen. Better not to serve it at all. I've saved the best for last. I ordered the frittata. It was tasteless and was like biting into a wet sponge. From it's appearance and experience (I can cook) this seem like an larger egg bite from Costco's freezer that was just microwaved. I was aghast. The server confirmed that it was not made fresh, but just "warmed up." There is no excuse for this except possibly at the free breakfast that comes with your room at Best Western. Perhaps once, this was the place to stay, but at almost $700 a night all in, I expect much better."
Carmel Bay View Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Comfortable bed and pillows, shower is tall people approved, nice a quiet. Breakfast is simple but convenient. Parking is first come first serve and we we're happy to grab the last available covered parking spot"
Hyatt Carmel Highlands
6/10 Okay
"While our room had a fantastic coastal view it was strangely missing a bedside table and light on one side - there is nowhere to buy any snacks or sundries - no little store at all on the property - which staff said they are asked about all the time. The property is tricky to get around -it’s steep - lots of stairs and not very conducive to exploring. The sunsets are spectacular:)"
Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa
4/10 Poor
"So outdated.....yikes."
Big Sur Lodge
8/10 Good
"We liked the facility overall, though it was very outdated. The staff was friendly & helpful, but the check-in process was timely. The surrounding area is beautiful & the hiking trails are well marked & maintained."
Lucia Lodge
6/10 Okay
"The rooms overlooking the ocean make this property a find. If you are staying in one of the other rooms like we did that face the parking lot with no ocean view nor space to sit outside your room, then paying $360 for a mid-week night was not worth it. Our room was dated and the window did not lock (the mechanism to close the window was missing). We didn’t stay for the continental breakfast served out of a small shed in the morning. Our room could have used a few more lights. Parking & Wifi included but in our room no fridge."
Carmel Mission Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Everything from the check-in to check out was perfect. Such a beautiful establishment."
