    Robert B.

    I just checked into this motel after a long and tiring day of driving and it will definitely be my last. Upon checking in, I was polite and friendly as I can be. You're not allowed to enter the office but you have to go around the corner to a dirty, somewhat sketchy window with plexi glass. I rang the bell for service and a young woman appeared, she had an expression on her face as if I was interrupting something. I told her I was checking in and she rolled her eyes and walked away and came back a moment later and said in a sharp tone, "I need to see your credit card and your id." I slipped both cards through the window and she was gone for nearly ten minutes, just leaving me hanging outside standing in front of the window. She finally returns with a form I needed to sign. She said she needed two initials, a signature and my license plate number in which she just hand drew a line for me to put my license number. I accidentally put my license number where I was supposed to sign and as I was writing she literally snapped at me in a very rude, annoyed tone, "NO! YOUR SIGNATURE GOES THERE!" I was so put off and pissed by her attitude after this that I crossed the license number out and signed my name and slipped the form under the cracked window. She looked so annoyed and just handed me my room keys and told me my room number. No thank you, no enjoy your stay, no sorry to keep you waiting, just super rude unprofessionalism. As I walked away some man then came out of the office and stood there and watched me as I unloaded my car, it was very creepy and unsettling. Needless to say, out of all the hotels I've stayed at in Monterey over the last ten years, this one was terrible largely due to how nasty the staff are. It may be affordable but believe me it's not worth it. As a paying customer, people deserve far more courtesy and respect than that. In addition, the walls are paper thin, I heard a couple verbally fighting in the room next to me and the guests above me were stomping so loud when they walked that you could hear their every step above my head while trying to sleep. Also, tons of hair was found in my bathroom. FYI there is NO BREAKFAST! Don't let the website amenities fool you, there's a note stating it's "restricted" at the plexiglass window haha. For such dump of a motel, there sure is a lot of rigid rules. In my closing, I'll never return here again, I suggest going down the street to the fireplace inn or another place that actually appreciate your business and make you feel welcome to be there. Do better Rodeway Inn.

    Clearly, this room is not ready for guests

    I am a frequent traveler, and the service problems here went way beyond that of the disappointments of a cheap hotel. When I arrived at the front office was closed and I had to use a side night office for all of my communication which in itself is not a problem, but the front office seem to be storing construction supplies. Having a site under construction is also not a problem, but when I was placed in a hotel room that had no locking mechanism and when I asked to change, they said no begin my problems. My room was also in the midst of construction clearly missing facings and was filthy. I did not feel safe here. I left immediately and the hotel refused to refund me given my objections. The front office staff was rude and the manager was worse.

    Monster inside sink

    No one cares about this establishment. I stayed here out of a spontaneous decision to stay one more night in Monterey. For $100 night, I expected just a tad bit better than this. The stairs are falling apart outside to get to the upper level. Inside the room the carpet is coming up. The bathroom sink drain has a visible monster growing inside which inhibits proper draining and creates a pool for a while in the sink. The light fixture next to the bed is complete with sparking and popping. The beds are like sleeping on sharp coils that move like an accordion. The smoke alarm goes off if you take a shower and doesn't stop. Walls are paper thin you can hear the person yawn in the room next to you. Never ever will stay here again.

    Stains on the chair

    BED BUGS and DIRTY! (Update below) It's basically my husbands and my fault for wanting to save a little on the hotel. Next time we'll for sure loosen the purse strings and stay somewhere nicer, cleaner and friendlier. The room was stuffy, a/c barely worked, room was dirty, shower was gross and we found dead bugs like roaches and moths. The key card was fickle to work with, the door had to be shoved shut. There were scratches on the walls, dents and scrapes where then second bed would be, what looked to be bodily fluids on the walls and of course bed bugs. I took a video of how bad the room was but it doesn't do it justice. There was no toilet paper and when we asked for one roll we never got it. The bed was broken. The box spring was the broken part and when we layer down we would gravitate towards the center. There was a desk chair but that was broken too. Just overall gross. Yes it's conveniently off the 1 Hwy but sooo not worth it stress of actually staying there. ****UPDATE**** About three days after we returned home, we noticed bug bites all up and down our arms. Finger tips to our shoulders. They were bed but bites. We didn't see any bed bugs but they were there. We did a deep clean of everything at home and thankfully none followed us. But stay away from this place

    I called the Hotel to get directions. The person I spoke to, was hard to understand..I did not speak his dialect either.He hung up on me. I asked directions at another hotel. the room smelled like stale cigarettes. The floors , wall, doors were filthy. I wiped down all surfaces. The one fabric chair was also dirty. There was a blanket over the seat..check out was at 11am. I took down one load, returned for my final one, the card key did not work! I was locked out! I went to the office window where a young man asked if I forgot something..I told him I was loading my car. He said any stay past 11am would be considered the 2nd night stay..This was maybe 5 mins after 11! Got my key and finished loading my car.! This whole group needs to take Hospitality seminars..! I paid $225. for this!? Not " economy" prices as stated!

    Smoke detector was covered with a bag. I've never felt so unsafe to stay anywhere.

    This is the worst place I've ever stayed. The place was so dirty, the beds broken and carpet wasn't even vacuumed. This should not be a place allowed to be in business.

    I should have gone to Yelp before staying here.Check-in was through a window due to "Covid." Almost no words, No mention of the WiFi. Just initial on x's and handed key. Clerk was completely in the dark, so could barely see them, in the middle of the day. Lumpy bed that was so wrinkled I hoped it was clean. Dirty sock on the floor. The room chair was so stained I never sat there. TV was on, but not on a channel when I came in, and did not work. Could not even turn it off. Finally unplugged it to go to bed. Light bulb burned out by bed and fixture was barely attached to the wall. Mold on walls in bathroom, shower curtain was half off. All metal fixtures were rusty, and a big moldy ball of hair in the tub drain to add a final gross finish.

    Animal scratched furniture

    DO NOT STAY HERE. I've had better hotel rooms in Haiti! Just pay the extra money to stay somewhere nice around here. The room is non-refundable and forget trying to ask for help from the management... I have dogs that are more well behaved. Disappointing is a massive understatement.

    All the stuff found under the bed and they did not belong to me.

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 fireplace, tub, and private deck really elevated the whole experience. It was also great having a spa and restaurant right on site, adding even more convenience and relaxation to our stay.

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.
