While my family loved the location of this hotel, our first night was miserable. We were given a lovely oversized room with a view of Cannery row. The drawbacks of this room became apparent at night time. The room had no a/c and the windows only cracked a bit. The evening and day were warm enough that in order for... more

Relaxing. Stayed in deluxe ocean view with balcony. Nicely appointed furnishings , with armoire, chest of drawers, desk, small sitting table. Tiny balcony. Wanted a room over the water, for sounds (not necessarily views). Was perfectly what I wanted. Slept with sliding door to balcony open, listening to waves and sea lions. View of Fisherman's Wharf and seaside buildings, including... more

We've stayed at the hotel a number of times over the last several years -- it's one of our favorite spots -- but I'm just now writing a review from our last stay. The service as usual was friendly and professional, and we had a memorable view of the bay where we saw lots of otters and seals playing. We... more

Very comfortable. Our room was not considered "ocean view", but we did indeed have a nice view. Large windows that open to let in the sea breeze. We had such a good time, we extended our stay. Terrific! more

My only regret is that we did not have more time to explore the hotel... We had a quick stay here and it was great. The Monterey Plaza is a very nice, luxury hotel and looks like it definitely has nice restaurants but I, unfortunately, did not try them. What I can say is that the gym is amazing and... more

My stay at the Plaza was dreamy! I came away feeling rested, and renewed and our overall experience was wonderful. The lobby area is grand yet welcoming and the views are truly spectacular. I was particularly impressed with the level of service, from the valet, front desk and wait staff to our lovely room with a *breathtaking* view of the... more

Having been to this property several years ago on business, we were aware of its location and other amenities, yet had never selected it for a personal visit. First of all, if you are looking for the typical seamless 5 star hotel experience, turn around now. It is not at this location. The service is top notch, with the staff... more

As frequent vistors to the Monetery Peninsula, my wife and I have looked forward to our 7-night stay at the Monerey Plaza Hotel with great anticipation. Having just returned home last evening, I am pleased to say that we were not disappointed! The Hotel provides an excellent base from which to enjoy the many pleasures available in the area. The... more

As part of a very special road trip, Monterey was the place we decided to visit a day after I proposed to my partner. We made the huge mistake of booking the Monterey hotel in the center of town and then visiting Fisherman's wharf ten minutes after we arrived. Depression set in and to cheer ourselves up we decided to... more
