Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

6/10 Okay

"It was fine, the room could have been cleaner and the property better maintained. The staff was also not super friendly, I was disappointed in the experience for the price, but it wasn't terrible."

Hotel Pacific

10/10 Excellent

"Yes, book here. Or actually don't, then they'll be room for me to return. This was an amazing set up. Spacious room with fireplace, balcony, the windows opened, ceiling fan, two showers, a couch, two extra chairs, a table set, walking distance to everything. And all this for the proce we paid....just no complaints! So glad we booked two nights for a quick get away. Planning to come back with my family joined by my friend and her family."

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

6/10 Okay

"It is a Motel 6 so there isn’t much to say, the location is very accessible (there is a Wal-Mart, Denny’s and freeway entrances near by). The room we got had a broken window so the breeze was coming in, and the smell in the room was weird but we fixed it by running the AC. The staff was courteous and overall it was an ok stay for the price and convenience."

InterContinental the Clement Monterey by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The property was perfect. Clean, well maintained and the staff was kind and always ready to help. The only thing we had to watch the charges on our bill. For some reason they were charging an extra $10 a day for Valet parking. They were apologetic and fixed the problem daily."

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Rather than considering the comfort of disabled or seniors The ice machine’s are on the far right on every floor: they used to be on the bottom floor near the elevators (middle of building). It was handy having several hooks to hang medical supplies. The staff volunteered to help me carry my husband’s dialysis meds to the room (very helpful). We enjoyed the sounds, privacy & beautiful views. The binocular’s in the room was a good touch."

Carmel Mission Inn

6/10 Okay

"I was surprised by all the hidden fees that were not revealed to us when we booked with you. I.E. $30- FOR PARKING - why do you have to pay for parking at your place? It's a large parking lot. Why do you have to pay to use the pool -$10. that should be complimentary for guests as should morning coffee. Kiosk wasn't open so I ended up buying $9.00 cup of coffee from you - that's outragously high. And paying $100 for a pet - I understand a pet fee but your costs are ridicously high for enjoyable stay - I won;t book here again"
