Perched over the spectacular Northern Californian coast, on Monterey's historic Cannery Row, is the waterfront Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa. This modern Mediterranean resort, seemingly from across the globe, is perfectly situated between crystal waters of the bay and the lush evergreen background of central California. Spacious and warm rooms, with soothing colors and plush décor, are inviting and pleasing the instant you set foot inside. Walk past large picture windows, through sliding doors, to a fabulous view of the bay from your balcony. Complete with large marble baths and all the modern amenities, each room lets in the natural beauty of Monterey Bay, and will put you in a California state of mind.

Great location walking distance to everything you would want to see. Great food, drinks and beds are so comfy you just want to stay in it and listen to the waves!

We have stayed at the Monterey Plaza Hotel many times and always left anxious to return. The staff consistently was friendly, welcoming and helpful. Our room was so inviting a big part of our vacation consists of relaxing in. The ocean views are fabulous throughout the facility including while dining. We will be returning soon.

We've enjoyed many stays at the Monterey Plaza over the years, so were surprised and disheartened to book a room advertised as "directly above the crashing waves" and receive a room directly above the noisy restaurant 30 - 40 yards from the crashing waves. We had to cancel our 25th anniversary trip to Hawaii to deal with a medical diagnosis and surgery, so thought a couple days relaxing over the water would be just the ticket. Not the case. Even though the room was advertised as the attached photo shows, it was not at all as described. There's nothing relaxing about listening to dishes being stacked, tables moved around, and diners over imbibing. When I brought the issue up at the front desk, I was told there wasn't another room available. Very disappointed with the deception and the Plaza's response. They should be better than this.
