Top Monterey Bay Hotel Reviews

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and restaurants were outstanding"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Monterey Beachfront-Marina, CA

2/10 Terrible

"Great Location and Secure Parking, but Disappointing Stay I wanted to love this hotel because the location is fantastic and the parking felt very safe and secure. Unfortunately, the room conditions, noise, and absolute lack of cleanliness made it nowhere near worth the price we paid. When I checked in, the door to my room wouldn't close or lock properly; I had to rely entirely on the metal pull latch just to feel somewhat secure. The noise levels were also terrible—the walls and ceilings are paper-thin, so I could constantly hear other guests talking and footsteps loudly pounding from above. The overall cleanliness was just as bad: both the floors and the ceiling in my room were filthy, and the pool outside was completely neglected and filled with green algae. To make matters worse, the shampoo dispensers were empty, the showerhead was awful, and breakfast featured incredibly runny eggs. For the amount of money they charge, you expect basic safety, peace, and cleanliness. I wouldn't stay here again."

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

8/10 Good

"This is a good place to stay. The rate is fantastic, and it is close to many places of interest to me. Checking in was a dream; the man who was there on Tuesday May 12 was kind, friendly, and helpful. The reservations system is a problem. Tried to reserve by phone, and the rep was taking a long time, so when we were disconnected before finishing I gave up and went on line instead. The phone reservation was NOT completed and NOT confirmed. Upon my arrival, informed that 2 reservations were made in my name. Next day my bank messaged that my card was declined (!) twice (!!) Both charges were from Motel 6, but 1 in CA, 1 in AZ. Very fishy. My last night there was rough (not the Motel's fault) so around 5 am I called the reservation system again, to extend my stay and not worry about checkout time. The staff did NOT get that information. Housekeeping started knocking at my door while I was trying to rest (not their fault.) The manager came to my door, clearly upset, around noon. I explained that I'd extended my stay. She treated me like a criminal and did not apologize for the error. I stayed 3 hours over, and paid for a full 24 hours. It would have been nice if they'd acknowledged that, especially due to the errors between the motel and their reservation system, which resulted in my being disturbed by the staff several times. Most upsetting: 2 more declined charges from my bank, this time from Motel 6 Columbus. Would stay again, but be very wary of reservation system"

Inn At Moss Landing Point

10/10 Excellent

"Great customer service, free parking, super clean facility (better than a lot of high end hotels I’ve been to), and the nightly popcorn was a great touch. Hotel being right next to the road didn’t bother me at all since I sleep with white noise anyways. Only complaint is the water pressure in the shower was a bit too high. But overall I would recommend this hotel and would come back again."

Captain's Inn at Moss Landing

10/10 Excellent

"Our room overlooking the river was as good as expected, the shared deck was nice. The kitchen has a microwave, toaster, communal fridge, ice packed ready to go, and all the cutlery and crockery you need. We got dinner in the Thai place up the road (splendid)and had leftovers the next day, everything we needed for our take away dinner was there. Breakfast bar is a bit scant, but we weren't there for the food. Lovely little place, would certainly go again if I could afford it, this was a special occasion and it was perfect.. Beautifully located to explore Elkhorn Slough and whale watch out of Moss Landing and a beautiful beach is a short walk away."
