Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"It was a comfortable stay! Staff was very friendly and helpful. In the morning while we checked out, the gentleman there brought out fresh coffee for my husband. It was a pleasant stay only 15 away from Carmel By The Sea 💝"

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We really liked it here! It is very convenient to the Monterey aquarium and Cannery Row area. We were able to walk to restaurants for dinner. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very cute and clean. My only complaint is that the outside lights shined right inside the room because they only have shutters, not any kind of blackout curtains or shades, so the room never really got dark at night. Luckily, I always travel with an eye mask. Other than that, I thought it was a great place and I would definitely stay here again."

Scottish Fairway Inn

8/10 Good

"Location is convenient and close to attractions. Staff was helpful and resourceful. The hardwood floor vinyl in our room was sticking up in certain parts of the room making it difficult to walk around. Shower was hard to manage but luckily there were instructions included on the wall. TV had some color issues and we weren't able to access the settings. Beds were comfy and parking was accessible. Good stay."
