Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"stay was excellent in all aspects"

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"Hotel Pacific, as you may notice at times, is a budget friendly hotel, though through photos and description it sounds very grand. I stayed here many years ago and it was a wonderful stay, catering to unique and unusual amenities in the room. To bring it back to present day, some of the approach to the type of hotel stay this establishment was originally intended to be remains. Things like the fire places, the views, the style, some of the room sizes & layouts. However, they have now swayed into budget friendly, for their own selves and at times that is relayed onto the customer through the prices for the stay but not always. There is minimal staff presence in general. Ex- There is no assistance with bags upon check-in, only a cart guests can push themselves. The parking is on-site, below one of the buildings and is very tight. I checked in on my last stay at about 10pm due to travel. Upon check in I paid just voer $25 for a parking space. Reasonable. What was not reasonable was that there literally was only ONE space in the entire parking garage - and it was a handicap space. Unfortunately, I had to park in it though I am not handicap. The rooms are only as clean as they can get given no recent upgrades or renovation. The bedding is clean and semi-up to date. The bathrooms have some minor issues, are functioning but they are not perfect. As far as balconies, some technically have a balcony but not one you’d care to use. Still nice but not what is advertised."

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the Stargazer Hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family. We stayed in the family room with three beds, which was amazing and made our stay so much more convenient. The only downside was the limited parking. Several of the covered parking spaces had furniture stored in them, which appeared to be due to room renovations, leaving fewer spots available for guests. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time in Monterey. Thank you, Stargazer Hotel, for a great experience!"

The Monterey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Not enough amenities (?), only coffee on the morning. Could put a few microwaves in the downstairs, there’s a huge room there, basically not being used. Every time I went out for the day and came back to my room, the key card wouldn’t work. I had 6 of them when I left. Parking was nonexistent, street—always packed, as well as the parking structure they recommended. Other structures nearby, but"
