And I mean Great. Exceptional service, friendly without being obsequious, wonderful massages at the Blue Vista Spa, and a view that can't be beat. Super comfortable beds, delicious sheets, perfect maid service. The service in the restaurant is very good and the food is better than in a similar hotel. Not knock-your-socks-off, but perfectly good and better than many of... More

Had a great stay at the Monterey Plaza with my family (husband and 3 year old daughter) and a friend. The hotel put us in adjoining rooms, which was lovely. The valet, front desk, bell staff, housekeeping, and spa staff were all quite friendly and made our stay such a pleasure. We loved getting our aquarium tickets through the hotel... More

A beautiful historic well designed hotel with incomparable view - yes, it is upscale and a treat to stay there. The service at our recent stay was outstanding! We were upgraded (for a small fee) to an ocean view room with balcony. The Duck Club is now an expanded version of their cafe so lots of food choices, better hours... More

We went here for our anniversary and I had never seen the hotel before, so I was a little nervous at first but at arriving that nervousness was gone. The place is beautiful very proffesional. Whoever runs the hotel is awesome because everyone is on top of it from valet to housekeeping. Everyone did a great job and was friendly.... More

We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed it very much! We had our 17 month old daughter with us and everyone at the hotel was very accommodating. The service was fantastic! From the valet to the housekeeping to the front desk, everyone was helpful and friendly. Housekeeping did a wonderful job everyday with making the beds and tidying up. The room... More

If you stay in Monterey, might as well, stay on the waterfront rather than in a quiet downtown. There are two great hotels in Monterey on the water (I heard that Intercontinental is good too). Monterey Plaza and Spa was wonderful! Great location right on the water with wonderful veiws of the bay. Rooms are spacious and beautifully maintained. Staff... More

Right on the water, the Monterey Plaza is one of the best places to stay on the west coast. My wife, daughter and I travel throughout California frequently and always make a point to stay at least one night in Monterey so we can visit this hotel. Great staff, perfect location and great food (try Schooners Coastal Kitchen). Great for... More

This is one of the nicest places we have stayed in the US... a well situated hotel with the comfort and feel of a large home. Our room was on the 4th floor and stepped out on a pier over the bay. The room had large windows overlooking the sea and kelp forest and was a perfect place to watch... More
