Top Pajaro Dunes Hotel Reviews

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"All was great. The restaurant was amazing as well"

The Monterey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location and the staff were excellent. The fact there was no parking assigned to the hotel was a surprise as we probably didn't read the hotel notes carefully enough. If one wants to avoid the $39 a night valet fee, there several nearby parking garages one can use. There is no A/C or phone, but great Wifi. The Trolley stop is right outside. The Trolley is free and runs every 15 min. Overall, we are very happy with our stay."

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved Monterrey Beach Hotel. The complimentary happy hour, and s’mores, and electric bikes were all an unreal surprise! Loved the fires at night too. Oh… I almost forgot—- the DOLPHINS! We sat on the beach and watched them flap their tails, jump about 5 feet in the air, and swim together in their pods(?). Seriously, we watched about 30 dolphins for about 2-3 hours in the late afternoon. We will fondly remember this hotel. (Only one little negative to report… outside clean up crew should be a little more attentive. There was some trash along the route to the beach that stayed there during our entire visit.). Hope we can return…"
