I made the mistake of not booking ahead and therefore overplayed for just average accommodations. After touring the area I realized there were other more desirable hotels. I would have liked to have been walking distance to a restaurant or bar besides what the hotel had to offer. I was also hoping I would have a private balcony to enjoy... More

I chose this hotel based on it's location. And the location IS lovely! The staff were all really wonderful, friendly and very helpful... The lobby of this place was also really beautiful. Huge bay windows, a large fireplace, many comfy places to sit and enjoy the surf or sunset. All while listening to the piano playing, and enjoying an adult... More

This hotel is wedged between the highway and the ocean. You can step outside your room and take a short walk downstairs to stroll along a very nice stretch of beach. The lobby was very nice and the restaurant did a very nice job accommodating our large (21) party. The downsides for me were the lack of privacy and less... More

This was our first visit to the BW Beach Resort. We stayed 2 nights in a partial ocean view pet friendly room located on the ground floor. I was not expecting the FULL ON ocean view that we got, it was amazing. The surf roars very loud on this side of the hotel, like it is right outside your door... More

The Monterey Beach Hotel is absolutely gorgeous! From the moment you walk in the lobby you can see the ocean, this is definitely the hotel's best quality. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. I had requested an ocean view room, but when I arrived the room was garden view. The staff was quick to change my room and gave... More

In the couple of years our lives have changed since we acquired our wonderful dog Raffi. We love to travel and now we like to bring him along if we can. When I called for reservations, the person at the front desk said they were just opening some beach front rooms for guests with pets. Previously only garden facing rooms... More

My wife and I try to get away to the Beach Resort Monterey, at least twice a year. The biggest draw for us, besides the professional and friendly staff, is the location, right on the beach. I sleep like a baby listening to the sound of the waves breaking just outside our room. It's simple to find (just look for... More

If you want the ocean you can't get much closer than this! My husband and I stayed 2 memorable nights here after checking out the over rated/priced hotels in and around Cannery Row, just 10/15 mins away by car. But don't let the slightly austere exterior looks of the hotel building put you off - the decor inside is decidedly... More
