Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I did not know it was a resort when I booked the room. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, and all of the amenities on site. I was able to purchase a breakfast plan through Expedia that was much cheaper than paying there. The restaurant at the hotel serves good food and has great staff."
