"Wonderful"

Carmel Mission Inn
"They charge for parking daily ($30) as well as a resort fee (+ taxes). The showers had low water pressure and the hot tub jets were broken."

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa
"I went alone. All though there were mostly families I felt comfortable there. The massage was excellent, food was great and loved the fire pit and snores. Would definitely go there again to get away"

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
"Loved the views! The lovely room had a sliding door that I cracked open to listen to the waves crashing against the shore while I slept. Highly recommend this resort!"

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey
"Very nice place"
Reviewed on 5 Jul 2026

The Monterey Hotel
"The staff were all nice and helpful. There is no parking on the premises but the parking place was near and still convenient. The hotel itself was very old and had a Victorian feel and vibe. The room was tiny, so if you are claustrophobic it might not be suitable place to stay in."
