Lovely Spa Experience

“During my stay, I indulged in a couples massage at the hotel spa. It was my first 'mommy-to-be' massage, and my masseuse took extra care to ensure both my comfort and my baby's safety. The spa's ambiance was immaculate, enhancing the whole relaxation experience. Afterward, the rooftop lounge with hot tubs and an ocean view was the perfect spot to unwind.” view full review

The rooms are spacious, clean, and feature fantastic views. The service was top-notch, friendly, and attentive, enhancing the experience.

My stay at the Monterey Plaza Hotel was fantastic! The beautiful location and views of the ocean made for a wonderful backdrop. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I really appreciated the exceptional service from staff members like Mitzy, Victor, and Christopher. However, I did notice some construction noise during the day, which made it a bit challenging to relax in the afternoon. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I'm looking forward to returning.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying its fantastic central location right by the waterfront. The service was exemplary and really made my experience special. The room I stayed in was beautifully finished and extremely comfortable, although I missed having breakfast included in the rate. I had a delightful dining experience with a wonderful view, even if I found the coffee shop across the street a bit slow. Overall, it was a treat worth recommending despite a few minor hiccups.

7.0/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was fantastic and provided beautiful views, the room quality was disappointing given the high rates. I found the dining options to be good, yet the resort fees added to the cost and the children's amenities were lacking. Overall, it's a comfortable place to stay, but perhaps not ideal for families with kids who want more activities.
