Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Merritt House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very charming and a lovely breakfast set up"

Monterey Bay Inn

8/10 Good

"We are a family of five traveling with 3 young children. We asked for a crib and they provided a pack n play that had a hard surface. This is my only complaint. For the amount of money one spends here, I wish they would invest in a decent foldable mini crib with a much more comfortable bed for babies to sleep on. I had to use two pillows and cover them with a blanket to make it more comfortable for my daughter to sleep. Ive stayed at a different hotel that has offered a mini crib that is much more sturdier and with a much more comfortable mattress for baby to sleep in. Please consider this for families with young children staying at your inn."

Lone Oak Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The woman that checked me in both days was so warm, friendly and welcoming. I don’t remember her name but really loved her kind and friendly service. The room was very clean, had a pleasant smell upon checking in, even the floor felt clean enough to walk barefoot. I also like that you’re able to park right outside of your room, makes it feel safer and easy to load your things in and out. Had a really relaxing stay and will be back whenever we need a room in the area. Always enjoy our stays at this property."

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"minor point... it can be a labrinth to get to your room. it's the personality of the real estate. however, if a staff member can see there's a deer in the head lights look in a "client" after being told the navigation instructions, recognize that and make sure there is staff available to help navigate the premises."

Hotel Abrego

8/10 Good

"The room was great. The grounds were very clean and welcoming. Comfortable bed. Only issue we had was when we got pre-checked in at 1pm, someone said they would call us to let us know when our room was ready. I finally called at 4:30 and they said “oh it’s ready”. No apologies. We were tired and walked around town"
