Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa
The location offers great privacy. The lobby, bar, coffee shop, and pool area excellent. The buffet was great but you'll have to pay extra for omelets or other specialty dishes. Highly recommend.

The Monterey Hotel
Nice clean old timey hotel. Close walking distance to wharf and aquarium.

The rooms could use some refresh of furniture style as well as the bathrooms but otherwise, very comfy and fine for casual overnights.
