Top Lake El Estero Hotel Reviews

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, nice hotel layout and location"

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"早餐略显敷衍其他都很好"

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and clean!"

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I liked the valet service because it was such a unique experience not having to find parking in Monterey. I also liked the idea of walking over the street on the third floor skywalk to my room. I liked breathing in the fresh ocean air coming in through the windows of my room."

Arbor Inn Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"Have been coming here for over 20 years. Clean, parking was close to room and ready before our check in time, It’s close to everything, and Mary at the front desk was wonderful and very helpful. We are looking forward to our next visit to Monterey!"

Merritt House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My room was very comfortable and spacious. The staff was excellent. The continental breakfast was nicer than I expected."

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"It is a historic building with lovely architectural features, high coved ceilings, cornices, carved wood hand rails, and leaded glass windows. It is 122 years old so it wasn't designed for modern tastes so be aware of that, floors and stairs creak. I found it was easier to access my room going up the original staircase than to use the elevator in the newer section and then wend my way back to the older section of the hotel. I definitely got my steps in! It's central location made it easy for me to walk everywhere I needed or wanted to go (I was there for a wedding!)"

Monterey Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, 1 block from the waterfront pier and many, many shops and restaurants."

Days Inn by Wyndham Monterey Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious rooms and clean, close to restaurants"
