Monterey Peninsula Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was very clean, comfortable, and convenient and the location is great. The front desk and staff were very helpful with a late check-in and the communication was excellent. One thing to note is the walls are thin, but with the provided box fan, noise wasn't an issue. We would happily stay with our dog again."

"Very good location. Excellent services. The only issue we had was parking the car in the carpark late af night as most spots were taken. We had to park our Santa Fe in a space for a compact car. That was a challenge !"

Inn At Moss Landing Point

10/10 Excellent
"Had a wonderful stay at this hotel the night before our whale watching experience (dock is a 10-15 minute walk away). The receptionist and owner were polite and friendly and could not do enough for us. There was water bottles in the room, the room was spacious and clean. There is a hot drinks machine in the lobby and a small snack/medicine/gift shop. Parking was plentiful and easy. Would recommend and stay again. Great hospitality."

8/10 Good
"We stayed in the room with a full ocean view, private balcony. While the view is lovely, the street noise is a bother. Parking is available on site for $25 a day. The parking lot is SUPER funky. Only 1 way in and the same way out. The location was perfect for the beach or the Boardwalk or the pier. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed."

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were all friendly. We used the exercise room and grills, both were great. Breakfast was fantastic and one of the best I’ve had at a hotel. The location is across from an amazing kids park and close to the Monterey recreation trail. There’s a Walmart across the street and the beach is about a ten minute walk"

Casablanca On The Beach

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent
"I initially wasn’t happy with having no one to check us in when we are first arrived however, once that situation was fixed were more than pleased with our room and we also had a great view of the beach from our balcony. Very big room only problem is they have no carpet on the floor it’s the fake plastic floor, which is noisy when you walk on it at night overall very good experience and will go back there again."
