We stayed at this hotel based on reviews, location, and price. Front desk personnel were all very friendly. The lobby area is big with wide open views of the Pacific Ocean. We were assigned a room downstairs originally, but I asked for a different room, preferably on the second floor for two reasons - the original room looked dirty and... More

When I arrived the staff was welcoming and helpful in explaining amenities and the location of restaurants etc. Glenn at the Front desk was helpful answering questions. The Room I stayed in was immaculately clean and inviting. Room Service was overpriced. The food at the Cafe Beach Restaurant was reasonable. The cheeseburgers, garlic fries and strawberry chicken salad were wonderful.... More

The location of this hotel and the perfect seaview are great, but the quality of the total offering is, certainly in relation to the price far too low! The hotel is far from clean and our room did not smell good at all. The small rooms are noisy and and the paid parking a car on a very unclean parking... More

Thank you for the response. We apologize for any inconveniences you may have encountered during your stay. Our seaview is the perfect backdrop for a vacation to Monterey, however, the ocean smell can be a bit overpowering for some guests. We do have larger rooms that would be ideal for your next visit. Again, we do sympathize with any inconveniences... More

We stayed at the Best Western Plus Monterey in June for two nights. The plus side of this hotel is that it is right on a beautiful beach. The ocean on the beach is clean and blue. If the beach is top on your list then this hotel will not disappoint. We had an ocean front room and we literally... More

This property was fantastic. It was wonderful to walk out the back of the property and listen to the waves hitting the beach. It was wonderful to wake up early a.m. and stroll the bay. While I personally did not dine on-site, all my guests enjoyed breakfast in the on-site restaurant. This property is secluded from the "chain hotels" in... More

Our first choice is always Best Western Beach Resort. We have stayed there for approximately 15 yrs. We love it. There is the beach, restaurant and lounge with fireplaces and lots of window views. We can walk the beach for miles and We love the sounds of the waves at night.

Ideal location a few minutes drive out of town.Great beach with wonderful views. Ideal for a few days stay on a fly drive holiday. Plenty of nice restaurants a few minutes drive along the coast. Cannery Row a must to pay a visit to as well.
