Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
Typically love staying here. Our room was directly above a karaoke bar and we got very little sleep.

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
Expensive but worth it. The Suite and Spa were just we needed to feel like we had a bit of a break. Falling asleep with the sound of the waves and waking up to a beautiful sunrise was something few hotels can offer.

The rooms could use some updating. The carpet smelled musty. The reception staff was very friendly.

Carmel Bay View Inn
Very convenient. Nice breakfast. Parking good. Ours was covered and close to car. Affordable for Carmel. We did not need it, but did notice there was no A/C in our room. It never got above the high 60s at the beginning of May. Not sure how the summer would be though. Would definitely definitely return, ...
