Great location, within walking distance to pier with a great restaurant! Also close to coffee shops, bakery and other restaurants. I would definitely stay again! Very clean and friendly staff

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
Amazing location, but definitely felt the tone of rudeness with the staff at check in when they noticed I had purchased the stay through a 3rd party. The hot tubs where children are allowed are not the ones that face the ocean.
