Top National Steinbeck Center Hotel Reviews

El Castell Motel

8/10 Good

"Had a great stay. Staff was great. Room was comfortable and clean."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Monterey Beachfront-Marina, CA

10/10 Excellent

"L"

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

8/10 Good

"Very convenient and clean spacious room. Nothing fancy but great for our needs. Lots of space, microwave and fridge. The front staff were all very nice and efficient."

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property is in an excellent location. Rooms were well maintained and the staff were very helpful. I just wish the parking and resort fees we’re just baked into the price as they were only listed in Expedia but was not discussed at the time of check in and so the final bill felt a bit furtive. If there is going to be a charge then just say it up front at the time of check in."
