Top Pajaro Dunes Hotel Reviews

Monterey Peninsula Inn

Monterey Peninsula Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We recently stayed here and first and foremost, Annette at the front desk was extremely nice and helpful all the way. She provided us extra towels, coffee and creamer, gave us pointers (and maps) to where to go next day for a hike and much more! The hotel is nicely located and pet friendly which is a plus because we brought our fue baby as well. If you’re looking for a well located hotel with friendly staff and don’t want to break the bank, this is a great option!"
