Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very clean staff was helpful valet was very efficient would highly recommend staying here again ."

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"This hotel is beautiful & is close to everything. The rooms are spacious & nice . The breakfast was good. My only complaint was that our room was on the ground floor facing the street. I asked to change rooms if possible but staff member said no because all pet friendly rooms were on the ground floor. The 2nd floor also has street side because the hotel sits on different levels. She did not even discuss other rooms options with me. We pay an additional $50 for our pet & we don’t get other options. This isn’t right."

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Good location for route 1 , bars and restaurants and the harbour but long walk to cannery row area. car parking charge is excessive and unnecessary in my opinion. Breakfast not included and restaurant we thought was expensive so did not use it and walked 5 mins into town. Pool nice touch"

Best Western Park Crest Inn

8/10 Good

"The king room was clean, spacious and recently painted, we were on the 1st floor. The bed is comfortable the pillows are on the small side and not that comfortable but not the worst. The bathroom was also recently updated, new paint and tile work. No mold or mildew anywhere, shower pressure is standard low for a Inn but great temperature. The water is treated so if your not used to that it can feel a little slimy. Good sized and nice towels. The A/C worked great,kept the room at the perfect temp, no weird smells and not overly loud. The loud comes from no soundproofing, the door not fitting right and the garbage collection on Wednesday mornings. You will be woken up by 6am. I suggest earplugs. The amenities are a plus. A microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator in room plus buffet style breakfast. The breakfast room is small but outside seating is available. Lots of options for food. The staff are amazing and really care about this place. Parking can be tight but it's doable. We didn't use the pool but it looked very clean and is disability accessible. Overall a clean, comfortable stay."
