Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

Have to take the time to say we had an incredible experience here. Was our end stop for the night along our road trip and, after another hotel proved to not match the photos online, we booked here. Oscar working at the front desk that night was incredible. He was above and beyond in making us comfortable and have a good experience. Thank you!

From the live music in the lounge to the on-property culinary delights to the fifth floor Jacuzzi overlooking the bay, everything about the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail throughout our stay was remarkable and we were particulary impressed by Hillary Morgan's dedication to ensuring every aspect of our experience was seamless. Her managerial expertise and genuine care for guest satisfaction made our visit truly memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for an exceptional coastal retreat.

Great location, beautiful hotel. Nice coffee shop attached. Great views. It was wonderful watching sea otters playing in the water from the shore. But, it is overpriced for the size of the room and balconies. For the amount charged, they should be able to keep the exterior balconies painted and nice looking, rather than rusted and dingy. Also, you can not get a bottle of water at the hotel that is just plain bottled water. I needed it for a medical device and they only have cans of vitamin water. Not a normal bottle of water to be found anywhere onsite. Weird. Unfortunately, they are charging prices that you can get at great hotels on Waikiki beach, which just doesn't make sense. It is the best hotel location in the area, and the dolphin fountain and hotel are pretty, plus the water view is great, but they could really spruce up the outside areas and paint balcony railings for the price you have to pay. Also, we easily found street parking for free or nominal costs right around the hotel, rather than pay the $50/night valet cost.

We had a great time staying at the plaza hotel! Our previous housing arrangements collapsed, and they were able to accommodate us on short notice. The restaurants on the property were delicious and had fantastic views of the water. Our room overlooked the water and our entire family had a great stay. We will be back soon.

Hotel was very nice. Clean and comfortable. Great spa. Nice drinks and music in the lobby. Area overall just ok.
