Monarch Resort
This was a great budget option for a stop on our road trip. The bed wasn’t the best but clean, safe and great location.

Monterey Peninsula Inn
Clean, comfortable, well-run, and well-located - this place was just right for me, and I’ll be glad to stay here again.

Sunset Inn
Check-in was a nightmare! The place is very funky, not dirty, but not as expected. The room is small but nice parking is bad. We left for dinner and there was no where to park, so we parked in front of the ending machine. It’s such a small area, there should be assigned parking for each room!

Bide-A-Wee Inn
Very cute exterior. Beautiful greenery surrounding the cottages with trees, gardens, fountains and seating areas. You can see the ocean from the front of the hotel and at night, if you leave your window open, you can hear the waves from your room. Small and cute internal structure with decent furniture. ...

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
Everything was pretty nice, comfortable, and clean. There were two spiders we found during our stay, but other than that all was good.
