Top Alta Mesa Hotel Reviews

Pacific Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very clean place. I stayed a second night because it was that good."

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The ambience is calm and sophisticated. The staff have all been exceedingly helpful and friendly, from check in to bartender to housekeeping. We felt spoiled and had all of our needs met. We could live here! Almost like a cruise. We never had to leave but of course we need to see Monterey and Carmel and beaches and trails. TV and wifi were awful. Roku unusable. Some of the channels that we could watch cut out. Big shower. Small bathroom! Great towels! Air conditioner is loud. Those are the bad things. The sauna is a great perk. The pool and grounds are well kept and clean. The daily wine servings and smores are a nice touch. The restaurant has a great view of the ocean with an occasional glimpse of a sea lion or pod of dolphins going by."

Lovers Point Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The property was perfect, right on the beach. The restaurant across the street was excellent also and convenient. The lady at the front desk was very nice and very accommodating. It was my birthday she noticed on my license and gifted me a little collection of chocolates from a local chocolate shop located on the wharf. Perfect stay will definitely see you soon!"
