Stay in an ocean view room to get the occasional glimpse of a sea otter, seal, or dolphin. The Hotel restaurant has an excellent breakfast. The Hotel staff is extremely friendly. Great central location for travelling around the area, including 17 Mile Drive, Big Sur and Carmel. The sole criticism--- the rooms are well appointed, but a bit tired. Good... More

Went for a quiet 4 day stay..hotel was everything you could imagine..beautiful, clean, amazing room with ocean views. The staff was very nice and helpful. We would not hesitate to stay again next time were in town.

Great location, on the water. Not very kid friend because there is no pool or hot tub but a very romantic stay of us grownups. Love the firepit outside and location in Cannery Row. We called the day of and were offered very good pricing options. We made the mistake of not jumping at a ocean front room and by... More

If you plan to stay in Monterrey/Carmel area for an extended time (more than the one night we stayed) definitely stay at this hotel and be sure to get an ocean view. Sleeping to the sounds of the ocean are incredible and seeing otters playing right outside your window was amazing. Everyone was friendly from the moment you enter the... More

My wife and I stayed for just a few days in celebration of completion of my Masters Degree and could not have chosen a better hotel. The location, the spa, the resteraunt (Schooner's) were all fantastic! We often stay at 4-5 star hotels and can say this was one of the best. Highly recommended.

We stayed at this hotel on our way to San Francisco. We wish we had limited our trip to Monterey only. This is a spectacular place with incredible rooms, service and views. It was absolutely PERFECT. We will come back.

My husband and I wanted a quick overnight getaway. We live only an hour and a half away from Monterey and we made a last-minute decision on a Saturday morning. If you want waterfront views, this place is great. The location is quiet, around the corner from the main busy Cannery Row shops. There are really nice large balconies over... More

We celebrated a birthday by visiting Monterey and Point Lobos and by staying at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room with a balcony overlooking the bay. Otters were playing in the bay, which was very entertaining. The spa is on the 5th floor with a gorgeous view. I... More

We had a chance to stay here beginning of May and it was spectacular. When we arrived the Front Desk was very friendly and accommodating. Our bellman, Anderson, helped us with our luggage and he did an exceptional job. We also dined at Schooners both nights of our stay and the food was great. Caio was our server the first... More
