Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
Typically love staying here. Our room was directly above a karaoke bar and we got very little sleep.

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa
The rooms could use some updating. The carpet smelled musty. The reception staff was very friendly.

The Monterey Hotel
There is no on site parking. I had to go to a public parking lot before 9 AM every day to pay for the day's parking. It was not expensive, $8, but I had to be up early to get to get it done.

Carmel Bay View Inn
We had a great stay. Only suggestion would be better breakfast options. Does anyone really eat that highly processed, artificial Yoplait stuff they claim is yoghurt?
