Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
The lobby of the hotel is very nice with a decent restaurant and bar. The location is excellent as it's right in the heart of downtown Monterey and a short walk to Cannery Row. My biggest complaint is that the beds and the pillows are not very good.

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
The best hotel in Monterey. We stay here every year and it never disappoints. It’s beautiful, clean, smells amazing, the best restaurants and the views are spectacular. We can’t wait for our next visit.
