Ty DiedrickAugust 23, 2013Great place to stay. Comfortable clean rooms and turndown service. Beautiful hotel with stellar ocean views. 22nd best hotel in the USA according to TripAdvisor.
Nice hotel room. The ocean view balcony watching the sunrise was awesome! You could hear the seals too. The in-room breakfast was delicious!
Jetset ExtraDecember 5, 2012My room had a water view with a balcony that was perfect for watching the sun rise while savoring a cup of coffee or sipping a glass of wine as the sun dipped below the horizon. Read more
eric bornemannJuly 5, 2022It’s a little pricey but the ocean view rooms are worth it to watch otters and other sea life from your room. The binoculars are a nice touch.
Hamish HamiltonFebruary 6, 2016A stunning hotel with wonderful views and great staff. I would go back in a heartbeat.
- Morgan DetraJune 12, 2013Room 1421 on the spa building. I woke up to otters and dolphins. Ocean view on both sides we had a corner room. Outstanding not bad for our 20th anniversary. Thank you honey
Laurie AlbaneseOctober 20, 2014Vista Blue Spa a the Monterey Plaza Hotel is amazing. Great view to relax and eat lunch then go for a dip in the hot tub. Wonderful massages and essential oils
Donnie DinchJune 23, 2018pro tip. free valet parking if you stop by Schooners inside. Spend $10 on cocktail instead of parking.- Brittany PipkinJanuary 1, 2011Great Hotel and service. Stayed here for NYE, enjoyed it a lot. The hotel has a shuttle service, no need for a taxi. Peets coffee at the hotel was great for breakfast. Highly recommend staying here!

Rebecca AtwoodJanuary 11, 2015Get a drink in the bar and bring it out of the deck for an astonishing view of the Monterey Bay.
Great looking hotel with fireplace in the lobby for warmth. Staying on the cannery row room where wifi is sooo slow compared to when im at the lobby. They should fix the wifi reach and reliability
Brandon HoangJanuary 23, 2019Perfect for old souls. Rooms are right over the ocean and provide binoculars!
Been a long time but back for our 20th anniversary. Still a beautiful place!

Kevin MillerJune 30, 2010Hotel was not what I expected. The pictures on the Internet are definitely a little misleading. It looked like the deck area with hot tubs was much bigger. Only two hot tubs for a property this size??
Ron LiebregtsJuly 27, 2011A Great view inkt service om the bar could be better. The tender is more interested in his self.
Worst headboards on beds ever. Two bruises from banging my head.
