Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Pacific Inn

8/10 Good

"It was clean and comfortable and within walking distance to Monterey Fairgrounds for the jazz festival."

Vagabond Inn Monterey

8/10 Good

"The room was fine and clean although the tub was well worn. The only amenity was the ice machine which was great. I will say that the staff really could use some customer service skills. I had reserved a queen room and they didn't have it. I had extended the reservation an additional night but they claimed not to have that, then when I paid a second time, the only decent employee told me I had two rooms and I think I got a refund. I was told there was no coffee but it turns out they did have coffee, I learned on my last day. When I spoke to staff, except for the cleaner, no one looked at me or made eye contact or acknowledged what I said. A little strange."

Lone Oak Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We were going to the Monterey Jazz festival and this was a perfect location. We did not hear noises between rooms but you are on a flight path for the Monterey Airport and a busy road so you do get that. But for what we were staying for it was super. The desk clerk was super helpful and was able to get us in early which gave us an opportunity to settle in and drive around. Being able to stay and walk to the festival grounds saved us on parking and the frustration."

InterContinental the Clement Monterey by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"On arrival we were notified of a room upgrade that included a fireplace and balcony with a view of the ocean. It was beautiful looking out over the bay watching the sea otters, reading Steinbeck and just looking out at the water. The room was clean, valet parking was great and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. We had dinner and breakfast at the C Restaurant downstairs. It was convenient and the food was delicious. I will do this again and will stay here for our next trip to Monterey and the Aquarium which is a two-minute walk away. I loved every minute of our stay at The InterContinental Clement Monterey."
