What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 547 guest reviews
The Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently singling out its unbeatable waterfront location, attentive staff, and spotless rooms as standout strengths. A handful of guests flag practical drawbacks — valet-only parking, unreliable WiFi, noisy street-facing rooms, and pricing that some feel doesn't always match the experience, particularly for non-bay-view rooms. Overall, those who secure an ocean-facing balcony room tend to rate the stay as exceptional.
