After hearing about how wonderful the Monterey Bay Plaza Hotel was, I was very excited to spend my anniversary there with my husband. The hotel itself is nice, but the customer service was absolutely dreadful.
The staff didn't seem to think it was necessary to be friendly to their "younger" clientele (we're in our late 20's/early 30's). I was surprised at how abrupt and curt the front desk staff was when we were checking in and checking out. (I will admit the valet staff was very congenial- and we ended up tipping them well). They gave us a room that turned out to be above their delivery entrance and we were woken up each and every morning by the sounds of the delivery trucks driving in and beeping as they backed in. Also, our bathroom smelled strongly as though someone had burned rubber in it. I even went out and purcahsed a scented candle to see if it would help- it did not. Consequently, the lovely bathtub was not used for the relaxing bath I planned. When we asked to switch rooms, we were told there were no other rooms available. When I got home I wrote a letter to the manager and never heard back.

Stayed here in Dec 2003 and absolutely loved this hotel!! The views were great and the rooms lovely. We ate at the casual restaurant on site and it was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this hotel to anyone.

My wife and I stayed at the Monterey Bay Plaza for two nights in late October, this year, and loved it. The hotel was great, as were the views of the bay. At night, the lights of Marina CA and the fishing boats were spectacular. In the moring and evening we could sit on the balcony of our room and watch the sea otters. I would recomend this Hotel to anyone.

We stayed at the Plaza for our second anniversary. Wonderfull hotel and will stay there again. The otters and seals that you can see outside your ocean veiw window give you a feeling of tranquillity. It is wonderful to wake up in the morning and to look outside your window to see them playing and foraging for food in the kelp beds. The sounds of the ocean are very relaxing. The spa treatments were very nice. I recommend the Hot Stone Treatment for 80 minutes. Great Location right at the end of cannery row. The Duck Club (their high end restaurant) has great service and food.
