Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
Great location, very clean, well kept, staff are friendly and helpful. California taxes are pretty steep. Complimentary or discounted parking would’ve been helpful.

The Monterey Hotel
Very clean and well run hotel at a perfect location to enjoy the best of Monterey. The rooms were charming and quiet even though the hotel is located on a busy street. They were super welcoming to our dog and the charges were reasonable. We even lucked out on parking and found a spot in the garage ...

Mariposa Inn & Suites
Clean room and kind staff. We stayed in the suite and the hot tub and fireplace were easy to operate and fun to have. There were very cute towels folded into shapes around the room. The breakfast however is extremely sparse. Some toast and yogurt and coffee. Don’t expect protein options.
