Kimpton MIRADOR PACIFIC GROVE MONTEREY by IHG
9.0 (59 reviews)

Kimpton MIRADOR PACIFIC GROVE MONTEREY by IHG ★★★★

📍 150 Fountain Avenue, Pacific Grove

"The hotel had an extremely strong formaldehyde smell. The room was quite large, but there was absolutely no service. Check-in took half an hour. The pre-sale permit was used up, and then it was used up again in the middle of the night without any notification. I don't understand why they would use it again in the middle of the night after only one day, when the 286 yuan charge had already been applied for at check-in! I asked for a kettle downstairs three times, but it never came. The front desk never answers the phone, and the staff were extremely rude! Every single one of them was terrible!"

Inn at King City
7.4 (99 reviews)

Inn at King City ★★

📍 4 Broadway Cir, King City

"It's much worse than in China, so I can only make do with it. However, I slept very well one night here, probably because I was too tired from traveling. This can be regarded as a travel experience, a motel!"

Best Western Park Crest Inn
8.4 (138 reviews)

Best Western Park Crest Inn ★★★

📍 1100 Munras Ave, Monterey

Best Western Plus Monterey Inn ★★★

📍 825 Abrego St, Monterey

"The bathroom had a strange, unpleasant smell from the renovations. However, the hotel's location was excellent, about a 15-minute walk to Monterey Marina. The town itself is small but bustling. The hotel provided a hot breakfast, and the staff were friendly."

📍 1425 Munras Ave, Monterey

"The room was quite spacious and came equipped with a coffee maker and a microwave. I was assigned a first-floor room, and an elevator is also available for convenience. Overall, it's a nice hotel. The only minor issue was when I went to make coffee, I found a used coffee pod from the previous guest still left in the machine."

Best Western Salinas Monterey Hotel ★★★
"Booked for guests, no complaints, relatively cost-effective hotel, I have always booked this hotel before The hotel facilities are okay, but of course those with higher requirements are not suitable... The focus is on cost-effectiveness"

Kimpton MIRADOR PACIFIC GROVE MONTEREY by IHG ★★★★
"This new hotel's rooms were quite satisfying in every aspect. Our family of four had plenty of space, and the decor was modern. While not a huge hotel, the service and facilities were good. It's about a 10-minute drive from Monterey's wharf and the aquarium. The surrounding area isn't bustling, but it's very charming – perfect for a vacation stroll, whether it's Lover's Point by the sea or the colorful cottages nearby. It's definitely not a lively area, but parking is free. I'd say there are three downsides. First, the shower water pressure isn't great (a common issue in the US). Second, in addition to the $3000-a-night room rate, there's an extra $60+ per night resort fee. Ctrip didn't mention this, and it can be frustrating when you find out later. However, it seems many resort hotels in the US charge this. This particular hotel didn't have many facilities, and since we arrived late at night, we spoke to them and they quickly waived it. But there's no guarantee they'll waive it next time. Third, and I don't blame the hotel for this, I think it's Ctrip's fault. Ctrip stated that breakfast for two was included. When we got to the hotel, it was à la carte. We initially asked the restaurant staff how to order the included breakfast and if there were any restrictions. The staff said there were no restrictions, but actually, there's a $50 per person limit, so be aware of that. For two breakfasts, that's $100, which is usually enough. For breakfast, I found the steak to be just okay. I'd recommend the oatmeal bowl and the English muffins (their specialty). The omelets were also good."

Inn at King City ★★
"The King Hotel is too far from Monterey, about an hour's drive. If your budget allows, I'd recommend staying in Monterey, especially Carmel-by-the-Sea. This hotel is just a place to stay; you'll need to bring your own toothbrush and toiletries. The receptionist even gave us the wrong room key – someone was already staying in that room! I tried to open the door several times but couldn't, and then there was a knocking noise from inside that startled me."

Best Western Park Crest Inn ★★★
"The hotel is located on the edge of downtown Monterey. It is a two-story house with a great outdoor hot spring bath. Unfortunately, there is no gym. The room is large and clean, but the air conditioner is too loud and the sound insulation is too poor. The breakfast is American breakfast."

"The hotel was generally fine, though we encountered a minor hiccup during check-in. Other than that, everything was smooth. The Ctrip staff handled the issue quite promptly, and I'm pretty satisfied with their service."

"The room was too small, the corridor was narrow, and the floor was dirty. I booked it for 3 people, but was asked to pay extra when I checked in. I argued with Ctrip customer service and was not cheated."
