Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with great dining options"

Mariposa Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Our room was a townhouse family style with a Murphy bed, fireplace and couch and full bath on the first floor with a slider door out to a little balcony. We also had a fridge, microwave and safe . Upstairs was another full bath and a king size bed. The hotel is dog friendly which is exactly what we needed in a great location. This was exactly what we were looking for."

Stargazer Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check-in was difficult. We did not get the room I requested (one with a fireplace) and the room we were given had not been renovated and smelled funny. Went back to the desk and he said there were only 2 other rooms available and he didn't know which rooms had fireplaces. I checked out the 2 rooms and one did have a fireplace which we later discovered did not work. I mentioned to the staff that while I had previously give a glowing review, I might have to give a different on this time and he said"I don't care". The worst."
