10/10 Excellent

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

8/10 Good

"The staff were all extremely helpful and pleasant. I enjoyed my stay in a room with a great view on the second (top) floor. There's ample parking and the views from some of the rooms, my in particular, are great! My balcony overlooked the golf course (the local Pacific Grove muni) and also gave me a glimpse of the ocean. And, it's just a short walk or drive to the beach. There's a complimentary continental breakfast which can be upgraded to breakfast buffet for just $15. All in all, a very nice establishment that I will consider first, next time I'm in the area. I held back one star for three things that are important to me. There was a thermostat in the room but apparently there's no A/C. Not that that would matter for most folks but I found the room a bit stuffy, even with the patio door open. The second issue was that there was a used q-tip on the floor in the bath area which was just sort of off putting. Lastly, I was dumb enough to leave some things in two drawers when I checked out. Housekeeping put the contents of one drawer aside for me but the contents of the other drawer were just not accounted for. It was my mistake so I can't fault them for not keeping track of my stuff. But it was weird they found everything from one drawer but nothing from the other."

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely Outstanding Stay! I recently brought my staff to Monterey for a wine event, and we stayed at the Monterey Beach Hotel. What an incredible experience from start to finish. The value for the price was exceptional, and the location simply cannot be beat. Being right on the beach made the stay feel like a mini vacation, even though we were there for business. In fact, I’ll definitely be coming back just for a getaway. The service was outstanding across the board. The front desk team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful. The bar staff was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to spend time with. Even the team members walking the property, cleaning, maintaining, and keeping everything looking beautiful, always greeted us with a smile and a friendly hello. That level of hospitality really stood out. I stayed in Room 122, and it was spectacular. The room was modern, comfortable, and exactly what I look for when traveling. One of the unexpected highlights was the evening wine tasting, which was absolutely outstanding and added a special touch to the overall experience. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay memorable. I highly recommend Monterey Beach Hotel and look forward to returning soon! — Corey Katz, Brix & Craft, Martinez, CA 🍷🌊🏨"
