We stayed here for a few days to explore Monterey and Carmel after spending some time in San Francisco. Once we managed to find the hotel (it was not clear on our booking that this was a best western hotel and the directions given were terrible so we weren't sure if we were arriving at the right hotel!) we were... more

We stayed at this hotel during a trip to San Fran; our plan being to drive down the coast to Carmel and Monterey. We were drawn by this hotel as it was directly on the beach and the oceanview rooms. The price was a bit more than we usually pay, but feel it was worth it for the view. We... more

The Best Western Beach Resort in Monterey is as close to perfect as you can get. The location is right on the beach in a quiet section of town, but is close enough to the main attractions. Parking is easy in a gated parking lot, and the room was spotless. If you get a room on the ocean side, be... more

Arranged beach view room two months prior to trip. Arrived to be told no rooms available. Finally got a room after much arguing. Rooms are small, service not great. Food in the restuarant very expensive and poor quality. Also ordered cocktails at the bar - not able to make them. They called for another barman and then staff argued in... more

Stayed here while traveling with my husband, brother and dog. I wanted to be on the ocean so splurged and paid $50 for my dog (it's $50 for non-pet rooms and $25 for pet rooms). It was literally 15 feet from the sand. Listened to the ocean all night long through this little window with a screen. Great shower and... more

I tried to book rooms in Monterey right on the beach and even in November the prices were running $200+. So as a default we stayed here for $116 per night with an ocean view room. We were really surprised how nice the hotel was and our room had a fantastic front row seat overlooking the bay! We had a... more

This was the second year that we stayd at this property in November. What you see is what you get. The oceanview rooms on the main floor have small patios but the view is somewhat blocked by the seawall. The upper rooms have a view but are on a common walkway so everyone can see in your room on their... more

Personally, I thought the location of this hotel was awesome, and it was probably the biggest selling point for me. Even though it was November, being right on the beach was really cool. If you are in an ocean front room (which we were), the crashing waves lull you to sleep at night, which I thought was great. You also... more

We have found this hotel 5-6 years ago, and still enjoy staying there for getaway trips to Monterey/Carmel. High points: excellent location with abundance of ocean and beach; pet friendly; great value, nice lounge with beautiful view. Low points: old, aged building & rooms; low service level. Extra fees on top of published rates: parking & resort fees. more
