Top Carmel Riviera Hotel Reviews

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and great location; breathtaking art and ambiance"

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a king suite, that had been refurbished and it had a lot of charm. The bathroom was large and the water pressure excellent. It had a refrigerator, and in room coffee as well downstairs. It is very centrally located to restaurants, Walgreens, a brewery with excellent beers and on Tuesday night there is a Farmer's Market with many different things for sale lbesides food, like Jewelry, children's clothes, pastries, canned sauces, kitchen towels, ponchos, and purses. It is a historic Hotel. They have electric Heater and/or a gas fireplace to warm you and a fan in your room to cool you if you are too warm. It is never too warm near the ocean. ."

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Our Room with a King and fireplace was good except our gas fireplace did not work. When we talked to the gentleman in the office - he was terrific, understanding, cordial! While we went to dinner in town, he found another, larger king bed room and on first level no stairs for us, he personally checked that the fireplace worked! So he made our stay even nicer than expected, for which we were grateful!"
