Top California State University Monterey Bay Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

8/10 Good

"It was clean and staff was kind."

Sanctuary Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great location on a fabulous, Long Beach. Nightly bonfires were relaxing and a great way to meet other guests. The room was spacious and very comfortable."

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."

Best Western Marina State Beach

8/10 Good

"Room was newly renovated, shower was very nice. Lots of room for a couple, nice king size bed. A bit noisy with renovation still in the progress."

Comfort Inn Marina on the Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Property Was a good fit for me"

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"

Old Marina Inn

8/10 Good

"Beware! No ac unit in the room! BUT you're a 1/4 mile from the ocean so it's not needed, just open up the windows! Easy check in and out, no issues. Room was clean, beds were ok enough to get a night's rest in. Close to everything, and one exit away from target if you need some last minute or emergency items. About 10-15min from Monterey and 5min away from beach access....Food is also close, I suggest trying Daddy's diner nearby!"
