Top Salinas Hotel Reviews

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this place was great. The only feedback that is negative is the condition of the shower floor - other than that, it was a great value for the money."

Monterey Peninsula Inn

8/10 Good

"Decent, Dated, Quiet, Clean... Did I say Dated? 'Dated'"

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"You can’t really beat the location. The staff was so helpful. Room service wasn’t amazing. But decent."

Hotel Abrego

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly surprised at the lovely room, courteous staff and great location. We don't drink wine, but the wine vouchers were a nice touch. (We gifted them to some other travellers) My only issue was the fireplace worked intermittently and there was not enough counter space in the bathroom. All in all we would stay there the next time we are in Monterey and definitely will recommend the Abrego!"

Monarch Resort

8/10 Good

"Nice room. Very clean. Breakfast was pretty lean, Few choices."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and food was great at the hotel restaurant. Perfect location to walk to the fisherman wharf (3min). Will definitely stay again."

Carmel Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Front Desk staff was friendly and helpful. I requested an early check in, but unfortunately they could not accommodate me. The room was clean and well appointed. Bathroom was equipped with all the toiletries one might need. Beds were made up on the second day of our stay and we appreciated that. Parking was a little challenging only in the fact that the Inn was filled to capacity. Its in a great centralized location, with easy access to Hwy 1. Breakfast at the Sherwood restaurant located in the motel was delicious. Our server was timely and nice. I would highly recommend the Carmel Mission Inn and plan to stay the next time I'm in Carmel."

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is good"

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"Perfect location, excellent price. It can be a bit noisy in the morning if your room is facing the street."
