Top San Carlos Beach - The Breakwater Hotel Reviews

Cannery Row Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Merritt House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My room was very comfortable and spacious. The staff was excellent. The continental breakfast was nicer than I expected."

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is a historic building with lovely architectural features, high coved ceilings, cornices, carved wood hand rails, and leaded glass windows. It is 122 years old so it wasn't designed for modern tastes so be aware of that, floors and stairs creak. I found it was easier to access my room going up the original staircase than to use the elevator in the newer section and then wend my way back to the older section of the hotel. I definitely got my steps in! It's central location made it easy for me to walk everywhere I needed or wanted to go (I was there for a wedding!)"

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"It was a comfortable stay! Staff was very friendly and helpful. In the morning while we checked out, the gentleman there brought out fresh coffee for my husband. It was a pleasant stay only 15 away from Carmel By The Sea 💝"

Victorian Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast. something special wine and cheese in the evening ,which is free of charge it's great place great place"

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant staff and good food at restaurant. Also close to downtown and Old Fisherman's Wharf."

Monterey Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, 1 block from the waterfront pier and many, many shops and restaurants."

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really liked it here! It is very convenient to the Monterey aquarium and Cannery Row area. We were able to walk to restaurants for dinner. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very cute and clean. My only complaint is that the outside lights shined right inside the room because they only have shutters, not any kind of blackout curtains or shades, so the room never really got dark at night. Luckily, I always travel with an eye mask. Other than that, I thought it was a great place and I would definitely stay here again."

Spindrift Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Spindrift is in a very convenient spot in Monterey close to the aquarium, restaurants, and shops. Our room was very quiet (facing the water), though it was quiet in the hallway as well. Cleanliness only 4 stars due to hair in the shower drain, but otherwise the bathroom was clean and spacious. Continental breakfast was just enough to get the morning started. The robes and fireplace were comfy. This was our 2nd time here and I would be happy to come again."
