Great location and pleasant rooms. We loved the electrically controlled sun screen and blind.the resturaunt was average but the waiter was knowledgeable and keen that we shouldn,t wait to order as there were two large parties. We don't understand why you charge $15 per night for parking, there goes the 10% discount in a flash. If the public park there,... More

We liked the hotel alot and thought the service was good and the room was nice, a few things that would have been a bit better.It would have been a bit more enjoyable if the beds weren't so hard. I've stayed in Best Westerns before and the beds have been so much better and my husband kept running into the... More

This hotel would be my first choice if I ever visit Monterey again. I love the sound of the ocean, and this room would be better if there were windows to open. The beds were awesome, so comfortable, and everything was clean. Wonderful bath products. We were able to get this room for free as a Rewards member, but the... More

We were traveling to Napa for our anniversary celebration (a gift from our children) and decided to stay at this Best Western, and we made a choice that we will always remember. The staff was extraordinary and watching the sunrise and sunset over the ocean was awesome and relaxing. They have created a resort environment. We also had breakfast at... More

My husband and I stayed her for our annual anniversary weekend away. The hotel had been recommended by a friend who didn't steer us wrong. What a great place! Being right on the ocean can't be beat. The service from every employee we came into contact was exemplary. Highly recommend this hotel for it's service, comfort and really excellent location. More

My husband and I have stayed here many times over the last 10-15 years. When my boys were small, it was one of their favorites because they could run right down the stairs to the beach! The outdoor showers for sandy bodies & feet are perfect. We have never stayed here without seeing dolphins jumping in the surf beyond the... More

We spent 2 nights last week at the Beach Resort and were treated to beautiful Ocean views from our room. The lobby of the resort is beautiful, and the dining room offers amazing ocean view seating. The room was average...comfortable, but nothing special. We ate breakfast both days at the restaurant and had very good meals. On our final night... More

The hotel sits right on the beach, that is number one, the rooms are fresh and clean, the lobby is relaxing, you can sit in the lobby and it overlooks the ocean, have a cocktail or too, sit by the fireplace, and a must is the restaraunt, the bacon wrapped scallops and crap cakes are to die for, and of...

It is a trip that just my Mom and I take together. No kids, no husbands ;) It is so relaxing and wonderful. You cannot beat the access to... More
