Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Stargazer Hotel

Stargazer Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great location for the shops on Main Street and the coastal headland trail. The Inn was friendly and quiet. Whilst we appreciate it was in keeping with the Victorian setting it could do with some updating. Check-in was simple and we were looked after by a lovely lady on reception who gave helpful advice on local travel. The spa was closed but we were provided with a very nice half bottle of wine on arrival."

10/10 Excellent
"I picked the hotel for having a pool. Unfortunately, my plans changed and I stayed only for one night, arriving very late in the evening and departed early in the morning. SO, I did not have a chance to try the pool for lap swimming. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the rooms looked as clean and well-maintained as the pictures depicted. The area was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and room amenities were sufficient. I had an issue with airport cab, requiring payment in cash. I was short $5, which the hotel staff kindly offered to loan. I recommend the hotel to anyone who seeks an affordable lodging arrangement"
