Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"This hotel charges $20 per day for parking and $35 per day resort fee. This adds a lot to your bill especially when you are not using the amenities included in the resort fee. A group of 4 of us went to the bar which doesn't open to 3 pm. We waited until it opened and the staff was not friendly nor provided much service. Exterior of the hotel looks dated."

"The Valet was great!!! My car would not start, and he spent time helping me and getting it started. I don't know his name, but he was on duty the morning of 08/22/2026. I really really appreciated all his help; He should get a raise!! The room was ok, but the carpets need some help along with the bathrooms."

"Very clean and seemed like newly renovated rooms. Very minor, but I noticed the tp holder was torn from the wall but reporting it to the front desk was seamless. I appreciate the social area outside with cute string lights."

"Good location for route 1 , bars and restaurants and the harbour but long walk to cannery row area. car parking charge is excessive and unnecessary in my opinion. Breakfast not included and restaurant we thought was expensive so did not use it and walked 5 mins into town. Pool nice touch"
