Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
"Waterfront hotel with great restaurant on the water. Needs a little updating but very clean! Be sure to book a room with a great view. We overlooked the back of the hotel and had delivery trucks in and out each morning."

Carmel Mission Inn
"The hotel is nice and clean. Just located behind the gas station and views from the rooms not very nice. A little far for walking to beaches and center of town, but close enough to Point Lobos. We had a good time."

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa
"Hotel and staff were good. Except for the mattress on the bed was very uncomfortable. Very lumpy. Hard on my back. I will probably not stay there again unless mattresses are upgrades"

The Monterey Hotel
"This is a very old hotel with plenty of charm and history, but it also is very outdated. No A/C, no screens on the windows, smells old and like mildew, terrible WiFi, etc. comfy bed, nice shower, just old."
