Monterey Peninsula Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff"

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"minor point... it can be a labrinth to get to your room. it's the personality of the real estate. however, if a staff member can see there's a deer in the head lights look in a "client" after being told the navigation instructions, recognize that and make sure there is staff available to help navigate the premises."

InterContinental the Clement Monterey by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We had another beautiful stay at The Clement. The staff was friendly and helpful, from the front desk to the housekeeping and bell staff. The location is the best in town, and the bed…I wish I could take it home with me! I highly recommend this hotel!"
