Top Carmel Point Hotel Reviews

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We liked it all. We have been many times and it is our place to stay in Monterey. The proximity to the wharf can’t be beat!"

Monterey Peninsula Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was close to a beach. The property was well maintained, I felt that I should have stayed few more days and enjoy Monterey Bay. I was also lucky that on the day of my stay the weather was so nice that I could spend 3 hours for my morning walk. The room was neat, clean and well maintained. The office staff in the front office was very helpful and she provided a route map to navigate the town. There were few cookware in the unit I stayed, so if you plan buy some vegetables, eggs, oil and salt so that you can cook your breakfast. I did reach late in the evening so I couldn't enjoy the firepit and the hot pool. My overall experience was very good."

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"This place was a perfect location if you admire and appreciate history. I highly suggest this place for you if your bougie ,it's not for you. Every Tuesday they have the farmers market which is so convenient right downstairs. The staff was friendly we had one incident where we had a couple thing above us that unfortunately did not get along and were yelling depressing throughout the night we let the front desk about this."
