We stayed at this hotel on our way to San Francisco. We wish we had limited our trip to Monterey only. This is a spectacular place with incredible rooms, service and views. It was absolutely PERFECT. We will come back.

My husband and I wanted a quick overnight getaway. We live only an hour and a half away from Monterey and we made a last-minute decision on a Saturday morning. If you want waterfront views, this place is great. The location is quiet, around the corner from the main busy Cannery Row shops. There are really nice large balconies over... More

We celebrated a birthday by visiting Monterey and Point Lobos and by staying at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room with a balcony overlooking the bay. Otters were playing in the bay, which was very entertaining. The spa is on the 5th floor with a gorgeous view. I... More

We had a chance to stay here beginning of May and it was spectacular. When we arrived the Front Desk was very friendly and accommodating. Our bellman, Anderson, helped us with our luggage and he did an exceptional job. We also dined at Schooners both nights of our stay and the food was great. Caio was our server the first... More

Anyone planning a visit to Monterey should consider booking their stay at Monterey's finest hotel and spa. The accommodating staff is so gracious.

We had a large room on the side adjoining the Schooner restaurant. We walked the main strip leading to the Monterey Aquarium which is not to be missed. Great... More

This was our fourth visit to this fabulous hotel, we cannot wait till we can return. If you like a super hotel property, with a great staff that provides truly outstanding service, and absolutely lovely and spacious rooms, this hotel should be on your must stay at list. We might see you there real soon.

We wanted a mother's day spa package and could've stayed at the Ritz for what we paid! This hotel is so expensive and with a holiday (mother's day) and many families in for a specialty $50 pp brunch, amazing that it was so crowded. The spa staff was excellent however, especially FRAN. She is the BEST. We loved our spa... More

It was hard to leave the room as we had such a beautiful ocean view! We watched the sea otters playing in the surf but didn't discover there were binoculars in our room until we were checking out. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was very comfortable. The dining was very good and we ordered breakfast... More
