I was pleasently surprised at the quality, conditon, landscaping, and design of this Best Western Plus. Beautifully landscaped is the first impression. Inside, the lobby and our room were so peacefull and calm that I could feel my stress level drop! The pool area was on the small side but so clean and neat....and working!! The beds was a dream. The only disappointment was no microwave. The fan was plenty. Having grown up in the area I knew no A/C wouldn't be a problem. But the fan was great to have still. I had made the arrangements and chose this hotel so I was happy that it was so wonderful. Great value! We will stay again! Staff and property were supurb. Parking was great and it is not that far to the area's we wanted to visit.

We spent eight perfectly pleasant nights here during our visit to Monterey and the surrounding area.
We arrived at check-in time. We were greeted and checked-in by Jose at the front desk who was very friendly and professional. He also gave us maps of the surrounding area and coupons for local restaurants. We were checked-in quickly and efficiently.
We booked an oversized room with a king sized bed, balcony and fireplace. We were not disappointed at all!
The room was at it was promised. Plenty of space to be had, a nice fireplace with a sitting area and good sized bathroom area. The room was kept very clean with toiletries and towels in good supply. The Keurig coffee maker was a nice touch and the refrigerator provided was of good enough size.
The balcony was large and, since the weather was good, we were able to make use of that. We also spent a few nights by the fireplace with some wine which was a really great way to end a day of exploring Route 1.
Breakfast here is included. The breakfast room was a bit small and got loud and a bit hectic on the weekends as there were parents around with their kids. There is seating in the lobby should the breakfast room fill up. The slight issue with that was the automatic door that opened frequently which would fill the lobby with cold air.
The breakfast area was attended by two very good staff members who kept the food stocked and the place clean. The breakfast options did not change so we were a bit bored with them after eight nights. But, it was included so that was fine.
Parking is in a garage right under the hotel. We did not have a problem finding a spot even at night but that might be a different story during the summer months.
There are plenty of places to eat within walking distance. The major attractions are not far away either but some, such as the aquarium, are a long walk so it may not be a bad idea to drive to some or take an Uber.
We enjoyed our stay and it was the perfect base for us as we explored Montery and Big Sur. We would stay here again for sure. Great job by the entire staff. Kudos to all of you.

This was our 4th or 5th stay here. Decided to return because they treated us well previously. Noticed some subtle differences (upgrades) since our last visit. First and most significant was the installation of 2 (for this room) brand new sliding glass doors and screens. The old ones were so claptrap that they needed some add on bars to secure them in a closed position. The new ones slide easily and lock properly. Second, was the addition of glass glasses and ceramic coffee cups. Coupled with the K-Cup machine made for an pleasant morning and evening on the balcony. Towels appear to have been upgraded as well. This was a very pleasant 4 day stay in Monterey.
I still feel that the breakfast could be upgraded a bit and the breakfast room is WAY TOO SMALL. There is an outside overflow area and the lobby is available. Both are not that acceptable in my opinion. After being out of our room for a solid 6 hours one day we returned to find our room not serviced. Had to ask the front desk for immediate service. Was given an excuse of too many checkouts which are done first, Not a hotel expert but would take a good look at that procedure for efficiency!!!

Rooms are spacious and nice. Bathroom not the newest but very clean. No aircon but a huge window with Moskito net that can be opened which was more than enough.
Prior to our arrival I asked for a room not on the ground floor - we got a room on the ground floor right next to the breakfast room with our 9 month old baby. What a joke, thanks for nothing!
There is no cleaning service due to Covid unless one asks specifically for it each day until 11 pm. Fine by me but why is half the staff walking around without a mask and distance and Covid not a topic anywhere else in the building? At breakfast staff are preparing the food with their masks off their nose or entire face and people are crowded in a tiny room. It’s basically a good way for the hotel to safe some money, that’s all!
Staff at the reception was always friendly and nice. Breakfast itself is limited but okay, however buffet was often empty and only slowly got filled up again. Biggest joke was that the English muffins for the breakfast sandwiches that got prepared by staff were toasted with the only toaster that was located in the breakfast room while all the guest had to either miss out on toasted bread or had to wait and watch 20 muffins going through a toaster very slowly… Breakfast room itself is very small, with a baby or stroller not possible. We had our breakfast outside as they have a nice patio (right next to our balcony…). It’s a ten minute drive to Carmel and a short walking distance to Montereys fisherman’s wharf.
Hotel is fine for a short stay but nothing special. Not very family friendly after all

This is the best "Best Western Plus" we've ever been to. The management is very professional and makes sure every detail is perfect from the beautiful flowers outside to the towels on the rack. We felt the hotel lobby, elevators and rooms were safe and sanitized during these COVID precautionary times too!

My husband and I really appreciated the cleanliness of this place, including the lobby, the hallways, the elevator, the parking garage, and the room itself. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom set-up was convenient (I like when the shower and toilet are separate from the sink). The only downside to the room was the lack of air-conditioning. It was a warm evening despite leaving the fan on and our sliding glass door open (we were on the second floor and felt safe to do so), though we did have to close the sliding glass door early morning when the construction team across the street began their work for the day. Our room was also above the patio area where the continental breakfast was served in the morning and some of the guests were loud, but nothing that couldn't be fixed by closing the sliding glass door.

Although on a main street the hotel is quiet. Location is perfect for checking out downtown and the wharfs. Clean, friendly, breakfast, free parking are all plusses. Bed was nice and firm but pillows were terrible. The room bathroom lights are motion detectors which was not friendly in the middle of the night. The loud garbage truck arrived at 5:54 a.m.

We usually stay across the street when in Monterey but decided to splurge this time. Mistake.
The bed was so saggy I had to have a cushion under my butt or would have broken my back sleeping on it.
Breakfast? Tiny little room, absolutely packed solid, with a slab of yellow plastic "un-scrambled" eggs for breakfast. Yuk.
When was the last time you saw a Best Western room with no desk and no microwave?
Luckily it was freezing here so we didn't need air-conditioning, but in the summer . . .
It was a big corner room, but it didn't even have a proper bathroom. Just like a Motel 6 you have to brush your teeth etc. in the middle of the bedroom.
Won't be staying here next time.

We enjoyed a comfortable stay here for two nights as we explored Monterey. The parking is free and in an underground garage accessed behind the building. There is an elevator that takes you right up to the floor you need. The room was a generous size with helpful amenities such as a 'fridge and coffee maker. There's a sink vanity area and a separate toilet/shower room which is tiny and has a loud fan that comes on with the light. The bedroom has ceiling fan because the hotel doesn't have A/C which I should think in Monterey isn't a big deal. We ate the provided breakfast downstairs in the dining area which was pleasant and offerings changed daily. This hotel seems like a much better value than than the others we looked at and it's a only short drive to the main attractions.

We had a room on the 1st floor, with two twin beds. It had a very large window and a balcony door. Huge closet, a little office and huge space on front of the beds where I could stretch in the morning. Breakfast was ok except for the boiled eggs which for some reason tasted gross, maybe someone should look into that from the management. Parking is conveniently located right under the building, so you are just steps away from the elevator.
I had a great stay and must say I loved the layout of the room and hotel. Please note that no gym is available.
The elevators where also kind of funky.

You must be a bit confuse with all of the answers you've received so far. Five no and 2 yes. We'll my room did not have A/C but there is a ceiling fan right above the bed which worked very well.
I would think there probably are no A/C in any of the rooms.
I went to the Best Western website and looked up the room types for the Monterey site and compare that to the one close by in Salinas. The temperature in Monterey is usually cool while Salinas can get into triple digits. The description provided by Best Western on the website is that the Salinas rooms have air conditioning, while the rooms in Monterey did not list air conditioning. Unless it's an unusual heat wave, you'll be find without A/C at the Monterey property. The ceiling fan was quite adequate.
There are more places to choose from in the Monterey area.
