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.

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.
