Top Lake El Estero Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay for my family of 4. Clean room, great service, and perfect location"

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"The location is perfect, the suite was spacious, clean and comfortable (I believe ours was the “Luxury Jr Suite” with 2 doubles) and the staff was kind and always available. The Elevator closest to our room was broken at the time, the stairs were manageable even for us on the 4th floor and we were able to bring our luggage up to the 3rd floor on the working elevator but that is something to keep in mind. The breakfast was good- eggs, bacon, french toast, cereal, bagels, yogurt, etc. The hot tub is on the small side but we were able to get in on a night when most people were probably checking out, it was perfect for the 3 of us and very relaxing after a long day of exploring. There is a free trolly that stops within a short walking distance of the hotel, and the walk to Fishermans Wharf (and all of the shops and stops in between) was not bad at all. Overall we genuinely enjoyed our stay."

The Monterey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was older but clean! Great location for the Big Sur Race as bus pick up was just a walk out our door and expo walking distance. Great food all around the hotel and they had a great coffee bar in the mornings and Water containers outside of rooms which was great ! Windows opened up and we had a fan.. never got too hot! Will stay again for sure !"

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"The motel is old and basic but the rooms are very clean, the shower had adequate water pressure, friendly staff, coffee and water in the office, towels were good and walkable to downtown and wharf. Parking is safe even on the street. The only thing is elevator is a little musty but that’s minor. Comfortable stay and I really did not hear the other tenants in the rooms , so it was nice and peaceful."

Hotel Abrego

2/10 Terrible

"We are extremely dissatisfied with our experience booking through Expedia for our stay at Hotel Abrego in Monterey. We carefully reviewed all of Expedia’s listings and specifically chose and prepaid for a deluxe room in what was described as a handicap-accessible building. Accessibility was extremely important to us and was the main reason we selected this room. When we arrived, however, Hotel Abrego placed us in a third-floor walk-up room with no accessibility accommodations whatsoever. We could not believe that what we booked and paid for in advance was completely different from what we were actually given. To make matters worse, when we addressed the issue with the hotel staff, their response was essentially, “Next time, book directly through us, not Expedia.” That response was both frustrating and unacceptable. We did not receive the room we paid for, and we feel completely misled by Expedia’s booking information. We are now reaching out to our travel insurance provider to see if this issue can be resolved because this experience was a major disappointment. Based on this experience, we will never book through Expedia again, and we strongly encourage others to be cautious when relying on Expedia’s room descriptions and accessibility information."
