Top Alta Mesa Hotel Reviews

Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We were located in room 510. It had its own fireplace. It was spacious and clean. We were a block away from Ocean Ave."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The Portola Hotel and Spa Monterey Bay is a beautiful hotel. And they accomodated our pet with ease, offering a bed, bowls, and cookie upon arrival. Their pet fee was by far the best in the area. Extremely clean rooms with slider doors to a balcony to let the fresh sea air in. They have an elegant bar with a roaring fire which was a welcomed relaxiation spot after a long day. 10/10 recommend."

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"The property was very clean and very aesthetic. I really liked the look and feel and design of the room and rest of the property. Location was excellent too. It’s close to the cannery row and also has a lot of restaurants and cafes just walking distance. The hotel had an extra charge for the car parking which was not disclosed at the time of booking. It will be good to let customers know beforehand that parking is not free."

Bay Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Bay Breeze Inn is the best facility that I have stayed at in Seaside over the last three years. The room was large. The king size bed was wonderful. The microwave and refrigerator were more than adequate. The shower water strength was awesome. The staff were responsive. Parking was always available and free. I volunteer for Pebble Beach golf tournaments and getting there from the Inn is easy and about a 20 minute drive. Costco is 1/2 mile. Other grocery stores and restaurants are close by; some in walking distance."

Arbor Inn Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"It was a cute room and although I thought we weren't near anything, it turns out there is a huge, amazing mall walking distance. It isn't near downtown though. We had a fireplace king, and the room was huge, which we liked. The bed was comfy, but we have been to Monterey a couple times recently lately and are wondering what's up with the half sized pillows? We will bring our own, since we can drive down. I can't say there was any staff, we were greeted by a talking kiosk--our first time for that. lol."
