Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
"Nice clean room, staff was nice! We had trouble connecting to the tv with casting and the mini fridge man a lot of the noise throughout the night. But another than that, a great stay."

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"This is a very old hotel with plenty of charm and history, but it also is very outdated.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."
