The queen bed was very comfortable. We have booked from this host twice, and will definitely be back to this property. We were very comfortable. The property is quiet, and you can hear the waves crashing on the beach all night. Very peaceful."

Spyglass Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Great stay at Spyglass Inn overall - clean room, everything worked well, spectacular view, and a nice fireplace. The bed was super comfortable too. Two things to know: floor-level units can be noisy since you'll hear footsteps from above (older building). Also, free WiFi is basic and slow - faster speeds cost extra per day. Neither was a dealbreaker. Would stay again."

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We totally enjoyed the stay beyond our expectations. The room was huge and well-appointed without shouting luxury, the location was convenient to both Cannery Row and Wharf, and valet parking service was efficient. But the most impressive was the restaurants. We had a dinner at Coastal Kitchen and brunch next day at Schooners. Both were excellent in terms of food, view, atmosphere, and service. The night scene from Coastal Kitchen was most memorable, and the morning sea from the patio deck at Schooners was unforgettable. What was so exciting at Schooners was that the sun was rising from the sea, which in our mind was a mystery because we were on the West Coast where the sun usually sets. Why did it decide to go up from West this morning? The thought entertained us for quite some time. There are not that many hotels that we look forward to going back, but this Monterey Plaza is surely one of them."
