Best Western Plus Monterey Inn

A very nice facility located just up the hill from the old downtown and a couple of blocks from the free MST Shuttle to all the sites. No gym on-site, but were given passes to the huge Monterey Sports Center about 5 blocks away. less

Great service,friendly staff. Very enjoyable visit. Breakfast was the best we have had in any hotel. The only drawback was the breakfast room was to small. Desk staff helped with directions and restaurant suggestions. less

My wife and I originally found this property late one night 7 years ago and it has since been our preferred stopping place for the Monterey peninsula. It is not super swanky like the highrise chains or boutique bed and breàkfasts nearby, but it is a clean, comfortable, centrally located, reasonably priced hotel with some value adding features. Like, a pool with hot tub, towel service. And a really excellent, free breakfast with waffle maker and fruit toppings! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I liked that the garage was elevator accessible so we were always a minute from the car. The area is filled with shopping and eateries (downtown Monterey) and it is walking distance to the Fisherman's Wharf and fine dining. We took a cab to the Monterey Bay Aquarium ($10 one way) but it turns out all day flat rate parking at Cannery Row is only $10. BTW, downtown and waterfront Monterey is a super safe area. There is no guest laundry unfortunately. I recommend upper floors if you want to avoid the pitter patter of little feet. Check prices with different booking agencies or directly with BW, as I paid $30 more for the same room through a different booking site (by accident). It is just a small preference of mine, but I do not like the old motel style design of the sink and bathroom separated. The hot tub is great even in the winter, but, it can only be accessed through the lobby(!). It is overall a good place to stay and I have been a guest multiple times. We have even tried some neighbouring competitors, and came back to BW Plus Monterey because we felt comfortable there. less

We stayed for two nights had Celia on checking in, very helpful and friendly a real asset. Our room was on the ground floor and huge, there was a mall down the road and we were walking distance to the wharf so a great location. Breakfast was ok but the lack of room for the number of guests was disappointing we were outside with a outdoor heater and some people were sitting in the reception area. Apart from this we thought it was good value. Chinese restaurant across road very nice and good value. less

Stayed here for a night on my points actually & it was an awesome place. Had a double queen room , mostly quiet except for few guests slamming doors loudly. From check in until check out things were great. Nice breakfast that we were able to take to our room & enjoy while sitting at small table with nice chairs & not have to eat with strangers. Very clean room. Great location close to a lot of sightseeing things & downtown. Would definitely stay here again & would recommend it highly. less
