The Stevenson Monterey

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms, comfortable bedding and perfect downtown Monterey location with easy walking to eateries and free trolley bus to Aquarium. Parking at hotel is not the best with tight spots and less availability in comparison to rooms rented. Lastly, heated pool was not very heated in comparison to other hotel establishments."

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were nice and helpful. The room was nice and clean. The rooms do not have AC, but the staff did provide an oscillated fan. I do wish the pillows on the bed were a little bigger, on the small side for me. Ample amount of available free parking on the premises. The location was great it was close to everything we wanted to do. There are plenty of restaurants, breweries, and entertainment within 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful when driving in this area lots of deer. It was very relaxing we enjoyed the visit."

Mariposa Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for a Monterey/Big Sur weekend with my boyfriend, his sister, and her husband. Pros: It was fairly affordable overall, the hotel is very cute. We liked the property. The pool is heated and the hot tub is roomy. Rooms are cute with skylights! Great location. Reasonable pet fees. Free water. Cons: "Breakfast" was disappointing. Not restocked frequently enough by staff. We were standing around waiting for hot water, juice, milk, and coffee. There was only hyper processed packaged goods and nothing substantial, no eggs, protein, waffles, nada. Some staff was very distracted and not very welcoming. The woman who checked us in was on a business call for her own business when we arrived and kept going on/off the call with no apology. She didn't even tell us where our room was located without us having to ask or any other info. She also let us carry all our bags without mentioning where the elevator is or that there was a luggage cart. Check in's on the later side, 4pm. I'm personally used to 3pm check in and checking in early if possible. Not to mention, they wouldn't even give us a late checkout. They don't split cards for the check in either. They close the pool area super early, at 9pm. Standard is usually 10pm pool close and I travel fairly often. The hot tub was also not very sanitary. There was some kind of food in it, which we realized a while in when we saw "floaties". Beds were too firm, bathroom fan was broken, towels are so small."
