Monterey Peninsula Inn

8/10 Good
"Overall the stay was good. Definitely signs of wear and age on the property. Rooms are small! But other than that everything was great."

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Pros: Staff were extremely friendly, helpful and courteous. Grounds were great--firepits with endless s'mores, heated pool, ping pong table, chess and foosball in the back for the children. Checkin/out was seamless and again the staff were all so friendly which really elevated the experience. Con: The rooms are a bit dated and dark even if you have a patio. We weren't in the room that much but I recommend you have all your lights on when you are in there otherwise it's a bit depressing. However, the friendliness of the staff, the nice lobby and grounds, and the convenience of the location were able to make our stay very nice."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good
"We typically stay on Cannery Row at the InterContinental so this was our first at the Portola. PERFECT location for my husband and I and a gorgeous beachy room. He walked to the pier for a fishing day, and I was able to safely walk with others on a pedestrian trail on the boardwalk each morning. Alvarado Street has so many fun shops and restaurants for nighttime. My only negative was one of the mornings I went downstairs to the restaurant by myself. I was seated, then ignored for 20 minutes. Waitstaff made eye contact, but never came to my table. I ended up going to Starbucks. Other than that ideal stay."

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good
"The lobby carpet has some age, but it is a wonderful classic property. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very well maintained and very spacious. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Our only issue is the road noise and how loud the room is. If you crack open a window its unbelievable. With no A/C it is a tough choice .. cool temps and noise or closed windows and heat but quiet. Great location with wonderful restaurants close by. Parking was a minor inconvenience, but is not too bad."
