Monterey Wine Country Hotel Guide - Romantic Hotels in Monterey Wine Country, California

"My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at Monterey Bay by IHG over the Christmas holidays, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Everyone was lovely, and a special mention goes to the sweetest daughter of one of the receptionists, who truly added a warm and personal touch to our stay. Breakfast each morning was delicious and well organized, with plenty of options to choose from. There were eggs, sausages, yogurt, biscuits, pancakes, muffins, bagels, and three different juices—something for everyone, and a great way to start the day. Our room was extremely comfortable. We had a king-size bed, which was absolutely fabulous—large, cozy, and perfect for relaxing. The room also had a nice TV. While it wasn’t a smart TV, we brought our laptop and connected it, so we were still able to watch Netflix and Disney Plus without any issues. The hotel’s location is another big plus. It sits right on the border of Seaside and Monterey, very close to the beach and water, as well as several delicious restaurants. Monterey is easily walkable, though it can be a bit of a long walk, so comfortable shoes are recommended. We also appreciated that our room faced the back of the property rather than the highway, which made it feel quieter and more peaceful. The ONLY downside worth noting is that the hotel is not one large indoor building. The rooms are accessed from the outside, meaning you do have to walk outdoors to get to your room. "

"Clean room with a great view! Check in was super easy. "

"great～"

"Spotless room, very helpful and friendly staff. Was upgraded room for $20 extra. "

"Great service, and the room was so cozy and comfortable. Booed the cottage and had the whole unit to ourselves detached from the rest of the hotel, Had a fireplace with a TV and pull out couch. Me and my Fiance loved this stay, definitely a place to stay at in Monterey if you love history and timeless architecture. "

"Pool was small and front desk wasn’t very friendly at one point,,,, overall what an amazing place , super fun place to stay "

"We go to Asilomar once a year around this time and have stayed in several different places right outside of the Asilomar grounds. Deer Haven was the best of all of them. My husband was in the ER on the day we were supposed to arrive, so we lost our first day there and, of course, couldn't get a refund at the last minute. That was unfortunate, but I called them and asked them to save the room for the 2nd night, and they did. The staff was very nice, and room was clean and cozy, and we enjoyed our stay. "

"We enjoyed the fireplace in the common room. They got it ready for us when we came back from dinner."

"Very good , "
