Top Monterey Zoo Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent!! Clean room, nice staff, free parking."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with perfect location to downtown Monterey. Would definitely stay here again."

El Castell Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We were extremely impressed with how immaculate everything was at El Castell Hotel! The rooms were spotless, the beds were comfortable, the AC worked great, and even the pool area was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Our only complaint was the noise due to thin walls and windows. We had extremely inconsiderate guests stomping and yelling throughout the night. Thankfully, the wonderful staff was incredibly accommodating and moved us to another room. Although we could still hear traffic, it was much more peaceful. We truly appreciated their kindness and willingness to make our stay more comfortable. The cleanliness and excellent customer service really stood out!"
