Top Central California Hotel Reviews

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Beautiful, clean, quiet mini suite upstairs! Lacks amenities, one tiny bar soap for the entire unit, no writing pads/pens anywhere. Parking is difficult and you have to go around the whole property to find a parking spot, that makes the unloading and carrying your luggage a task ! my suggestion is, since the hotel is charging $17.00 a night for parking, they should mark/assign parking spaces near your rooms.By the way, do not eat at Esteban's , over rated, overpriced, bad attitude by the waitresses and Baaad food!! Do not order Pizza Margarita unless you are ready to eat a third of charcoal and have a blender to grind the dough !! not edible!! we returned two pizzas and called Primo the Manager to complain about it!"

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good
"Could not find ice for the life of us, yet an ice bucket is provided. If there in an ice machine…it should be easier to locate. Where our room was located we could hear the elevator all night, and the beds and pillows were really quite uncomfortable. There was a spring in my back on my side of the bed. Everything else was great, staff was very helpful. We also had a strange experience at the hotel restaurant. We had finished eating, I got up to use the restroom and asked my partner to order desert. Apparently immediately after I left for the restroom the waitress brought my partner the check and asked if he was staying in the hotel. He described it as an awkward experience and just paid because it felt like they wanted us out. We were never checked on during dinner by our waitress, and then almost rushed out. It was an awkward experience and we ended up getting a free desert for it because I inquired to another waiter why we were not offered desert. I appreciate the free desert, however the entire experience left my partner feeling very awkward and like we had done something wrong. For an expensive meal, you would expect the service to be better."
