The center has three different levels with stairs in the middle and each side or if you desire an elevator, there is one on the end. During the weekend or summertime when it's busy, parking can be a challenge. There is a parking garage not far away if the street is full. If that is full, you may need to walk a bit. There is also some great places to eat such as The Flying Fish, a coffee shop, and a wine maker or two. In the center of the plaza, there is space to sit and enjoy the environment-just find some shade if it's warm!

There are 12 250KW Tesla Superchargers here (1 of them Van accessible) and also 4 Charge Point chargers on 2 shared towers for the other EVs out there. Convenient because you can grab some grub at the Bagel Bakery, Chipotle, Habit Burgers, Five Guys, Panera or the choices around the parking lot, or shop at Target, Ross, CVS, Ulta Beauty, Lucky's, GameStop or other stores around the same parking lot. Chargers price per KW varies depending on time of day, but at 4pm on a Sunday it was $0.35/KW. Like most high traffic supercharging locations, they default to charging up to 80%, but you can change that to 100% if you need to, and if you have a newer Model 3 Tesla with an LFP battery. I preconditioned my Battery about 2 miles while routing here on my navigate screen ( warm up the battery for faster charging) and I got 100 miles added in a Jiffy, almost faster than I could write this review and post photos! Cost? $7.35 total! That would have cost about $18 for 4 gallons of premium at Costco gas with my old Honda Accord V6. Elon's politics may not be cool, but the tech and cars are pretty cool! And this charging station is convenient!

This was a wonderful hotel…read more The parking was close to the building but it was not completely covered and you have walk across a pedestrian walkway. It was easy to park our car and be able to get our luggage to the check-in. The lobby is beautiful with live trees, ample seating a restaurant, a bar, a bakery... They have a pirate program for kids that was fun for my boys to get a special bag and coloring book and crayons. The location was amazing. We were able to go to the pier every day we were in Monterey to enjoy looking at the boats and the animals. We also really enjoyed how close it was to old town and restaurants, bakeries, and a Walgreens. The room itself was simple, but beautiful and big enough for our family of four. This was a clean room. You can tell that the staff care about the building and the space. The bed and pillows were just fine. It was fun to be a little bit further away from the elevator. We had to go outside and threw multiple doors ( it felt a bit like a maze) but it was unusual and special for our kids. I would happily stay here again and wholeheartedly recommend it.

Only stayed one night in Monterey, so my experience here is limited, but:…read more Pros: the check-in was easy, the bed was comfy, the room was reasonably spacious and very clean, the location was very walkable to downtown. Plus the lobby looks great, the trees inside are fun, the bar looks great though we never sat down at it, and the beachy vibe was sweet. Cons: Not much else to say, nothing stood out, it didn't seem like anyone went above and beyond, little bit pricey on parking. Would I stay again? Sure would.

We're still in the middle of our stay at Carmel Valley Ranch, but it has already been so wonderful that I wanted to write this review before I even get home; just so I don't forget all the special details. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly cared for. Edward was so sweet at check-in and helped secure lovely rooms for our group. He continues to greet us kindly each time we see him in the lodge. Saša remembered us from previous visits and made my son's birthday extra special by bringing out French fries (his absolute favorite)! We also had a service issue within our group, and Jeff handled it with such genuine passion and professionalism. He went above and beyond to make things right, and then surprised my kids with their own little Stanley cups engraved with their initials. Truly above and beyond. The food and beverage team has been just as amazing. Molly's new dessert menu is fantastic; don't miss the goat cheesecake! Carly is always a gem; her warmth and kindness brighten our days, and my kids absolutely adore her. Mia is so welcoming at the host stand at Valley Kitchen, always greeting us with such friendliness. At dinner, Ismael was a wonderful server. I forgot to mention needing separate checks at the start of the meal, but he was so gracious and kind about handling it at the end. Our favorite breakfast server is José. He was is so so so kind. One member of our group has been feeling under the weather this weekend. He had the chef make her some chicken broth. And he didn't even charge a penny for us. When I offered gratuity; he declined! We adore José. We look forward to seeing him every time we return to CVR. A highlight of the trip was meeting Fernanda at the Market. We had a fun conversation early in the morning about whether eggnog and matcha might go together. Hours later, she tracked me down to tell me she had experimented, tried it, and that it was delicious--then proceeded to make me a matcha eggnog latte. And she was right. It was amazing! Her thoughtfulness absolutely made my day. We also had the pleasure of meeting Urich, the GM--including a personal hello from him, which says a lot about the hospitality here. He was warm, approachable, and clearly cares deeply about the guest experience. The property itself is gorgeous with so much to enjoy, but what keeps us coming back again and again is the incredible people who make every stay feel special. Their kindness, sincerity, and attention to detail turn a beautiful resort into a place that feels like home. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

My husband booked this place for the family with good intentions but missed a few details that I'd…read morelike to share in the hopes someone else may be reading reviews for this place. Location: beautiful breathtaking views tucked away in a mountain valley, it is a perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle from city noise pollution and high populations. Customer service: there are only 1-2 check in desks, where they spend about 10-20 minutes with each customer explaining the property amenities, location of room, events, etc. when you've been traveling all day, every minute feels like a lifetime. Restaurant: there is only one full service, sit in restaurant that gets booked very fast especially for dinner. Plan ahead and make a reservation in advance for every night you plan to stay on campus and eat there, otherwise, expect to wait until 8 pm or drive to the nearby restaurants which include a Subway, pizza joint, or a small Vietnamese restaurant. Earthbound Organic Farm is a great alternative option for a small breakfast or lunch bites. There is another Mexican restaurant nearby. Clientele in the mornings consist of rowdy children and their inconsiderate parents. I recommend asking to be seated outside if you have well mannered children and want to eat in peace. Rooms: mediocre clean. For being a Hyatt affiliated hotel, I had higher expectations, rooms are carpeted with wooden floors and heavy rugs. This resort is pet friendly so if you have someone in the family that suffers from allergies or has a very sensitive nose, this is not the best place to stay. As most Californian hotels that have carpeting, you can smell odors in the carpeting and linen. When things got hot and humid in our room, I got a nice whiff of dog. Basically any pet friendly hotel means that your linens will be washed with dog poo or other animal fluids. Rooms are only dusted at eye level but if you're someone that is concerned about dust mites, be prepared to get a showering of dust mites on bed, where the headboards reach 6' high and hold lots of lovely layers of dust. Coffee pot is sad and comparable to a motel 6 version with blah coffee, and lastly the beds are super firm with no ability to adjust (like other Hyatt holidays offer), and pillows are huge and uncomfortable. Foam alternative is slightly softer but still too high for a back sleeper or stomach sleeper. Bathroom: limited. They do provide tiny handwashing bars of soap made of lavender, and provide a tiny sample sac of lavender salt to use in tub but for those with allergies, best to request an alternative if any. Shower corners contain black mold. Refrigerators: our room had a tiny refrigerator that could hardly fit anything and doesn't cool sufficiently so for those moms packing extra healthy snacks for your kids, consider your fridge useless. All the strawberries, yogurts and hummus we purchased made it straight to the trash. Room patio: dirty and useless. There was a couple of upholstered seats and one table on our patio that could not be enjoyed as they were filled with dirt, dust and leaves. Would I stay here again? No - due to the pet issue for me. Most Californians love their pets and don't mind staying in places that wreak of dog butts that they've habituated to. Like I said, my husband had good intentions but there were too many issues that made it undesirable for me.

We stayed in a balcony king room, and it was clean, spacious, and had plenty of room to spread out. The only thing I couldn't quite figure out were the lights under the bed; they were actually great when getting up for the bathroom at night, but not so great when just rolling over or switching sides. Other than that, no complaints at all. We'd definitely stay here again.

First walking in the room, we noticed a weird smell and the bathroom smelled like somebody had just used it . The carpet in the bedroom is old and dirty looking. The bathroom shower and bathroom share one combined floor so when you use the shower, the entire floor gets soaked. I had to use up all the towels to soak up the water on the floor so we didn't slip and fall. When you flush the toilet it sounds like a hurricane. If you plan on using the bathroom during the night, be prepared to wake up everyone. You can also hear the toilet flushing in any room near yours. Also, there's no sink countertop, it's a stand alone sink so there's no place to put your stuff and get ready. You can hear the people in the next room like they are sitting in your room. The door to get into the building did not latch close on its own so anyone could walk into the building. Also when you check in, they charge an additional $20 parking fee, a $35 recreational fee and a refundable $50 fee. This was on top of the $369 cost of the room. I almost forgot I was awakened in the middle of the night to several people in the hallway, saying there was somebody running down our hallway and had just went up the stairs. This was probably because the building doors didn't latch like I mentioned above. For this price, I suggest you shop around and a smaller, cleaner, quieter, and newer hotel. This was a big disappointment for a Hyatt hotel, and not up to their standards.

Gabriel came quickly and gave me what I thought was an estimate for fixing one light switch and adding an outlet. Dave come that day and took 1 hour to do the work. I was surprised by the $350 estimate, but did not question it since I inadvertently assumed that I would be charged for actual time and materials. Isn't that the norm for electricians? I guess not now! Ah, the "estimate" was a firm quote to which I inadvertently agreed. Fast , professional service but $350 for 2 outlets in 1 hour? Buyer beware. Ask questions first, not when it is too late. I will find another electrician.

The charging cable length was really short and rather taut, so back in all the way. There's a nice waiting area on the side of the building with a keurig, snacks, and bathroom. Staff was kind of gruff, it's annoying the dealer hogs up their own chargers they offer as a paid service (pretty sure they were not actively charging as they were there over an hour), and the chargers across the street are the faster 250 kW and have 12, so I recommend going to the other one.
