Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good
"Could not find ice for the life of us, yet an ice bucket is provided. If there in an ice machine…it should be easier to locate. Where our room was located we could hear the elevator all night, and the beds and pillows were really quite uncomfortable. There was a spring in my back on my side of the bed. Everything else was great, staff was very helpful. We also had a strange experience at the hotel restaurant. We had finished eating, I got up to use the restroom and asked my partner to order desert. Apparently immediately after I left for the restroom the waitress brought my partner the check and asked if he was staying in the hotel. He described it as an awkward experience and just paid because it felt like they wanted us out. We were never checked on during dinner by our waitress, and then almost rushed out. It was an awkward experience and we ended up getting a free desert for it because I inquired to another waiter why we were not offered desert. I appreciate the free desert, however the entire experience left my partner feeling very awkward and like we had done something wrong. For an expensive meal, you would expect the service to be better."

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A cute little motel in Monterey, we got the family room for our family of 5 and it was HUGE - very and spacious. In-room coffee but also a great coffee machine in the main office/lobby with all kinds of fun options like cappuccino. Parking lot is small though we always found a spot. Lovely .5 mile walk to downtown with tons of dining options (including cafes for breakfast). Only negative was the pool hours - it actually closes before their "quiet hours" and wasn't conducive to swimming or lounging in the hot tub after a late dinner."
