Top Monterey Zoo Hotel Reviews

Sand Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location near Monterey! The building is older, but it’s very well taken care of. Our room was clean and comfortable, we felt safe, and we slept great. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again!"

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

8/10 Good

"It was clean and staff was kind."

Lone Oak Lodge

8/10 Good

"Parking was great, right outside our room. Also nice to have a mini fridge in our room and the ice machine was right near our room. The rooms have been updated which was nice."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Salinas by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and helpful during stay. Clean room, good breakfast. Ample FREE parking."

Bay Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Fire Spot. Stayed 3 nights and the location was perfect. Extremely close to everything you'd want to be near, and away from everything you wouldn't. Would book again."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good

"A bit more work/conference orientation than we were expecting."

Monarch Valley Inn Marina at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good

"Overall not too bad of a stay. The rooms were really good sized and it didn’t feel cramped. Plenty of room for stuff and to move around. Beds were comfortable. Shower was small, but water pressure and hot water were really nice. Under the furniture seemed to be a forgotten place to clean. Fridge was really nice and good sized. Microwave and AC worked well. There was an issue with the toilet handle and a towel rack kept falling off the wall. Issues I had were that everything was set up for two people even though my reservation was for three. When I asked for more towels and such they kept only giving me enough for two despite me saying there were three of us. The breakfast was a huge disappointment….sacked lunch with junk food and low quality fruit. The property is with a gas station and looks a little rundown and the office is hard to find initially."

Ramada by Wyndham Marina

8/10 Good

"- No Breakfast. When I booked, I specifically checked for this option, but unfortunately, it has not been updated on booking site. - Close to lots of restaurants, but most places close early (around 8:30pm). - Getting in and out parking lot was a bit annoying. You have to make a U-Turn to get into the parking lot and to exit, there are cars parked on the side of the street where it's hard to see past them for oncoming traffic to exit. - The rooms were clean and spacious. - Overall, staff was nice and helpful. - Will stay again"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Monterey Beachfront-Marina, CA

10/10 Excellent

"It was an amazing stay. Breakfast every Morning and staff are always happy to refill anything needed"
