Hotel Pacific

Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent
"So our family started a little road trip down Half Moon Bay and along the CA coast We stopped to stay at the Pacific Hotel in Monterey in a Jr suite. Let me tell you, we were amazed how clean, comfortable, and amazing it was. After a long day around town at Fishermans Warf with 3 kids we were exhausted, we hurried back to the room and relaxed while we turned on the fireplace and watched a movie. A lot of space for family of five, loved the two queen beds and two separate showers . I would definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends"

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good
"It’s hard to know what to expect when you’ve never been to the town before. This is a great place for location. I wanted to check in quick and stretch my legs walking along the ocean. That happened. A few unhomed folks along the way. If you want valet, help with your bags, friendly but not BFF staff. Reliable everything this is your spot. There was a big conference happening while I was there and I didn’t feel any impact. All conference goers seemed happy and healthy. If you want unique, cozy, work a little harder to prove your travel chops, look at other options."

El Castell Motel

El Castell Motel

8/10 Good
"This is my go to spot when staying in Monterey. Good price. Although, be aware that there is a bit of traffic noise, occasionally planes & thin walls in the room. But location is convenient, in the middle of everything which makes it nice to get to pg, marina, seaside, etc… My only complaint was my rooms showerhead the pressure was weak and barely any water would come out. But other than that I’ve never had an issue staying at el castell. Would recommend to others looking for a nice convenient affordable option. :)"
