SureStay Hotel by Best Western Seaside Monterey

"Everything is so expensive to rent a room at this place is pretty reasonable the outside look a little questionable, but it was very clean inside. You could literally walk down the street to the beach."

Sand Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, the staff were nice, just 10 minutes walk from the beach so it was perfect"

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"It was excellent and I rate it 4.5 out of 5"

Steinbeck Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, quiet, comfortable and reasonably priced. Unit was recently updated and had modern fixtures. One small indicator was the flexible reading lights over the bed. I can't remember seeing such a feature in more expensive hotel rooms."

Lone Oak Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We were going to the Monterey Jazz festival and this was a perfect location. We did not hear noises between rooms but you are on a flight path for the Monterey Airport and a busy road so you do get that. But for what we were staying for it was super. The desk clerk was super helpful and was able to get us in early which gave us an opportunity to settle in and drive around. Being able to stay and walk to the festival grounds saved us on parking and the frustration."
