Overall Great!

We loved our stay at this hotel. Here are the pros and cons: -We got the partial ocean view with a balcony. It was fabulous. At certain angles in the room, it looked like an ocean view, depending on where you are standing. -There was a pair of binoculars in the room which was great for watching the otters. -Our son also got a little Monterey area bingo game to play for prizes along with his own little bag of goodies which included his own pair of binoculars and magnifying glass. -We ate at Schooners restaurant and the view was great and we were seated right away. -The hot tubs near the fitness center have such a beautiful view and there is also a nearby firepit -The valet staff was very helpful and professional The things that were not so great were: -There is an area that is open to the public below the room and we were often smelling the smell of smoke from cigarettes and weed. -There was also a black hair still in our bathtub when we checked in which was gross. - We ate at Schooners restaurant but the server was not friendly or helpful and the clam chowder was so bad that none of us finished it. It was also a little bit pricey. -The spa staff kept giving us different ages for the age restriction for using the hot tub near the fitness center. -It cost us almost 100 dollars extra to do valet for 2 nights. We were told that the alternative was to do metered street parking and then it was free at night. So we just did it. But, overall, it was good.

I can’t really say enough good about our stay here. It was the second leg of our honeymoon tour of California, and I can honestly say it’s one of the nicest hotel stays I have ever experienced. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful, not the setting more beautiful.

Splurge and get a balcony- we had partial view but it was still amazing. Did not seem “ partial” to me. Saw all the fun birds and otters. Great on site restaurants. Walking distance to everything in town. Beautiful sunrise with unique position. Clean and amazing sheets and pillows - we would return here for sure. Staff super helpful with assistance with a medical issue that came up. Very happy with this hotel. Wish we had stayed longer. Good drive to Big Sur!

I had an exceptional stay at the Monterey Plaza Hotel! My room featured a pleasant city and partial sea view. The true highlight was the rooftop gym and spa, where the facilities were top-notch, and the outdoor jacuzzi offered a stunning view of the bay—absolute bliss. Dining at the hotel's restaurants, including Schooners Coastal Kitchen and Bar, was a culinary delight with superb service to match. Each meal was expertly prepared, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening. The lobby happy hour with its live band created a lively and inviting atmosphere. Although the valet parking was somewhat expensive, it was a minor detail compared to the overall exemplary experience. This hotel is definitely worth a five-star rating for its luxury, service, and facilities!
