Top Monterey Bay Hotel Reviews

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good

"The property was great. We only interacted with valet and they were awesome"

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was ideal for visiting the boardwalk. The staff were very helpful and had great recommendations for great food."

Monterey Peninsula Inn

10/10 Excellent

"No complaints, would stay here again"

Sea Breeze Inn And Cottages

8/10 Good

"The property is clean and well maintained. The cottage was also spotless but the room seemed small. Office staff was very helpful when we were having a problem with the TV. One negative, which is not the property owners fault, is the restaurant right next to the motel. They play their music very loud all day and into the night. Impossible to relax in your room during those hours. It's a shame because the motel is in a nice location and would be very comfortable, if it was not for the loud music next door."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Super charming classic hotel with a friendly staff, great pool and jacuzzi. Awesome views from the balcony. Just wish it wasn't so extremely expensive"

Hampton Inn & Suites Watsonville

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff"
