    Located right across from the Del Monte Shopping Center and about ten minutes away from the Cannery Row, so it is a good location to stay a few nights. It has its own parking lot and it is a two-story building painted in a nice green. Like other places I have stayed at, this one also has dim lighting. I prefer brighter rooms and have to turn on the lights near the restroom and the lamp in between the beds to get better lighting. The room is rather small, and with multiple people in one room, we had to move our things around or to scoot in the chair to get around. Wall outlets are not convenient. There was one on the side of the bed and the lamp. I wish they had one next to the desk. And big alert! The mini fridge operates more like a freezer! My food and drink became frozen. Thankfully, there was a microwave that we could use to heat it up. And I don't know if they did vacuum well enough or not...parts of the carpet was bumpy and poke my bare feet. However, would I come back here? Yes, I would. Despite these issues, location and price are good, and I'm only here for a short period of time and not spending all my time in the room.

    I would give this inn a 3.5 stars. Needed a place to stay in Monterey during the week for a wedding. A lot of the other hotels were expensive, over $200 and that isn't in our budget right now. So we found this Inn on Booking.com. You get what you pay for. Don't expect an elegant looking inn. Parking is tight, but we were able to park right in front of our door. Seems to be a two story inn. I am not sure if there are elevators to get to the 2nd level. We checked in late and there was about two spots available, but when it was day time I did see some more parking available on the other side of the street blocked off just for the guests. The decor is...not to say anything really about it lack there of. The beds are beds. Nothing fancy or plush like. There was a mini fridge that def kept our drinks cold and when I mean cold almost freezer like!and a microwave. They offered in room tea and coffee. Had a small table with one chair along with a big dresser that a flat screen tv sits on. As for the bathroom, the shower water pressure was very very soft but the water heated up fast. If I need to every stay here on a budget I guess I would, but it's not in the top of my lists. It's located right across from the shopping mall and there are gas stations and liquor stores near by for convenience. The one thing that was great was that I didn't hear our next door neighbors or above us at all so that was a big plus! This room also had AC and it cooled down the room real fast.

    Got a good nights sleep. The and the pillows were great. I decided to establish a scale for rating hotels and motels. I apply the same scale for "luxury" hotels as well as "budget" motels as I stay in all types depending on where I am traveling and the purpose. After cleanliness there is no particular order. 1. Cleanliness. Excellent 2. Comfort of bed. Great 3. Comfort of pillows. Are there both firm and soft available. Both were available and were good 4. How new is the room decor and fixtures. Worn 5. Quality of room. This includes size, temperature, smell, lighting. It as a bit warm but opening the window helped. We were able to leave it open all night. 6. Quality of bathroom. This includes size, lighting, ventilation. Functional. 7. Bathroom amenities. These include magnifying mirror, presentation, quantity and quality of toiletries. Softness of tissue and towels. Good towels. Average amenities. 8. Friendliness of staff. Nice man 9. Noise. Road noise, adjacent room noise, air conditioner noise. We were in the back so the noise was minima. 10. Price. Was it worth the price I paid all things considered? This includes proximity to conferences and activities. With tax, which was about 2%, it was $155. Best location we could find to get to Big Sur to see the condors

    I wanted to update this with a fresh perspective. I have given this place 5 stars because I throughly enjoyed my stay here even though there were small hiccups. When researching this place on their website there isn't much insight to what the rooms look like. So I called anyways and booked the place for the fireplace because that was all I was really interested in along with a bathtub. Pros: We got a discount on our room stay, they allowed early check in, Room 11 came with a jacuzzi tub inside of the room, the bathtub was extremely clean to the point that I did not need to deep clean, the bed was comfortable and the sheets and comforter was very clean. I slept like a baby. The complimentary soap, shampoo and makeup wipes worked and smelled great. TV had good channels to pass time, plenty of towels. Has a microwave. Right across the street from local mall and dining. Less than 10 minutes away from Cannery Row and Downtown Monterey. Cons: The refrigerator didn't work but we brought our own ice chest. The jacuzzi jets didn't work but the tub worked great to soak in. I will definitely come back and stay in the same room happily. The fireplace was the main event! Thank you for providing awesome service!

    Basic motel but our room was clean and it had a fireplace. The location is great with a large shipping center across the street with lots of restaurants.

    In the face of what appears to be complete abandonment of small businesses by the government, I am doing my best to support them as much as possible. I have no complaints only kudos for this place. It's a small, family owned, super quaint inn that quite frankly puts the large chains to shame. The value for what they offer cannot be beat. I got more out of this place and spent less than I would have anywhere else, even Motel 6 (ICK). The location is close to everything, including Highway 1 - which is the connector to the neighboring towns of Seaside, Salinas, Carmel and Pebble Beach. I loved that the rooms come with a coffee maker as the large chains have done away with them as some weird way of combating COVID-19 - as if you can't sterilize a coffee maker (heavy eye roll). I appreciate being able to check in at 2pm as opposed to the standard 4pm. Dog fee is a mere $25/night. I'll gladly pay it given the low room rate. There are so many ways in which this little place is superior to any chain. I plan on returning sooner rather than later.

    Loving our stay! It's quiet, has a lovely fireplace, and it's pet friendly! Reasonable price too and decent location.

    Friendly staff greeted upon arrival. Easy location parking is available as a fridge raider coffee maker Fireplace. Enjoying my stay thank you

    Noting like the pictures they have advertised about! Not clean! Ripped carpet which could make me fall with getting my shoes stuck in there. Fire place had a sign that closed fireplace! Shower had barely water coming out of it. All the furniture were old and damaged like I didn't feel like using any drawers. And over all it was such a sad looking room for $350 spent on small room for two nights. They were so cheap that didn't even bother to pit a radio or clock in the room. For the second night we recognized that the sheets are not changed either! Thank you for such a false advertisement!

We enjoyed their rooftop spa overlooking the bay- next level. The entrance to the hotel opens up to a beautiful first floor with ocean view, large fireplace, sofas and seating areas, and a small bar. The hotel offers a nightly happy hour and musical performances. During our visit we had the pleasure to discover a highly talented artist by the name of Adrea, who has the most incredible voice and presence. We were so impressed by her and were very fortunate that she performed both nights of our visit. It was a performance we would have gladly paid to see, she is a rising talent for sure. I can't state how exceptional our experience was to enjoy the music in such an elevated atmosphere, relaxing by the fire, enjoying the outstanding craft cocktails by their highly talented mixologist. Schooners is not to be missed, the food is as outstanding as the ocean view! A special mention to the superior customer care provided by Pracha, a guest service manager at the hotel, who is an absolute star. And yes, the long review is a love letter to the Monterey Plaza Hotel, until next time!

    We needed a little family getaway, so we booked a stay from Friday through Sunday. Walking into the…read morehotel, the first thing I noticed was how nice it smelled. The lobby has an older, vintage feel to it, which gave it some charm. Unfortunately, the check in experience wasn't the best. The front desk receptionist wasn't very friendly or welcoming, so it didn't exactly start our trip on a positive note. Our room with two queen beds was pretty standard, but it was clean and had a beautiful view overlooking the water, which was definitely the highlight. The service throughout our stay was pretty disappointing. I called the front desk to ask for extra bath towels, and after waiting 30 minutes with nothing delivered, I had to call again. They finally arrived another 20 minutes later, which seemed way too long for such a simple request. The shower was also confusing because the hot and cold labels were reversed, and the water pressure was extremely weak. Neither of those things ruined the trip, but they definitely made the stay less enjoyable. We also ordered room service around 7:30pm. Jerry, who took our order, was very friendly and told us it would take about 45 minutes. An hour later there was still no food, so I called back around 8:45. Jerry apologized, checked on the order, and said it would be another 10 minutes before offering to personally bring it up. I appreciated his effort, but waiting well over an hour for room service was frustrating. To make matters worse, they already charge a service fee and then tack on an additional 20% service charge. The food wasn't worth the wait either. The ceviche lacked flavor and the portion was tiny, the ahi tuna wraps were just okay and didn't taste very fresh, and the Wagyu burger was dry and underwhelming. The fries were probably the best thing we ordered. Overall, I don't see myself staying here again, and next time I'd rather book the InterContinental instead.

    We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!…read moreThe staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. When we decided to extend our stay by an extra night, our harbor-view room wasn't available for the additional night, but they went out of their way to make it work so we didn't have to switch rooms. We really appreciated that! Parking was also very reasonably priced at $25, especially compared to other hotels in the area. The room itself was spacious, the bed was very comfortable (firm, just how we like it), and the harbor view was absolutely perfect. We were a little concerned after reading reviews about the sea lions being noisy, but we actually loved hearing them from the balcony! Once the balcony door was closed, we couldn't hear them at all, and they never disturbed our sleep. One of our favorite perks was the complimentary binoculars available to guests--they were a fun touch for watching the harbor. And don't miss the sunrise from the fourth-floor rooftop terrace--it's absolutely beautiful! There were just a few minor things that could be improved. The hotel only has one elevator, and it can be quite slow during busy times. We also wish the freshly baked cookies were available throughout the day. They were put out around 3:00 p.m., but they disappeared almost immediately because they were so popular. When we arrived, our room temperature was around 78°F. We called the front desk to ask about the A/C and were told someone would come up. Security arrived and explained that the hotel doesn't have air conditioning, so the options are to use the fan or open the balcony door. It would have been helpful if the front desk had shared that information when we called. We left the screened balcony door open while we were out the next day, and the room cooled down nicely. The only other thing we wished the room had was a microwave. Overall, these were very minor issues compared to everything we loved about our stay. The location, views, comfortable rooms, and outstanding customer service made for a wonderful experience.

This was our second time staying in Monterey and I had been looking forward to staying at this hotel someday. It was everything I imagined and more! The service was exceptional from the valet to the bellhop to registration and restaurant staff. We are also IHG elite members and we were given a room upgrade with a thoughtful card and gift for our anniversary. Our room was facing the ocean on Cannery Row with a balcony. It was a very nice, spacious and clean room with alot of thoughtful attention like providing refillable water bottles, robes and an amazing Nespresso machine. There was also a wine bar and snacks available for purchase. The hotel had a wonderful scent throughout and we enjoyed walking through the ocean vibes staircase featuring a jellyfish. Definitely look for that! We loved having our anniversary dinner at The C Restaurant, but that will be another well earned review on it's own. However, we did have two negative experiences, one was that we waited a bit too long for our car at the valet once and there was an accidental spa charge on our receipt when checking out. I still gave them 5 stars because they rectified it right away and even removed the valet charge for us, which was much appreciated. I would love to come back to this hotel someday to bring my parents and we hope you love it too!!

The hotel itself is beautiful, and the ocean views from our room were a huge highlight. The room was very clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed and more.

The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a warm charm that made it easy to relax after a day of exploring the city. One of the highlights of our stay was how the hotel carried such a unique atmosphere and history. It wasn't just a place to sleep--it felt like part of the adventure. Between the ocean views, cozy spaces, and local touches, it really captured the spirit of Monterrey. And then there were the ghost stories. Whether you're a believer or just love a good tale, they add an extra layer of fun and mystery to the stay. If you're someone that believes (or not), go to the front desk and ask for the "book". It had 78 pages of first hand accounts of unexplained happenings from guests. We had a very small moment ourselves, while I was sharing what I uncovered about the ghosts with my significant other in the morning, suddenly the bathroom light just turned on. Nobody was around and they do run on sensors. Not a significant event but certainly was well timed. Overall, Hotel Del Monte struck the perfect balance between comfort, history, and a touch of playful spookiness. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Monterrey that has access to a military installation--especially if you're looking for more than just a hotel, but a memorable experience.

The interior is also gorgeous, and it's amazing how well they've kept up the history of this place. We stayed in a queen suite, which was very outdated. Because of how old the buildings are, there is no A/C, which is typically fine, but we happened to be there on one of the warmest days of the year. Our room had an odd smell to it, and the amenities are pretty minimal. However, we expected this due to the age of the building. Our only negative was that we were given the first room next to the entrance and stairwell, which was not fun to hear folks stomping up and down the stairs and slamming the doors. On Friday morning, several people we knew were awoken by the "active shooter drill" announcement at 8:00am. I understand this will happen on a naval academy base, but I wish we were warned about upon check-in just so we were aware and not startled in the morning.
