Top Lighthouse District Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great and that's why Embassy Suites is our go to."

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing but cleanliness and comfort. Beds were comfortable, even though it’s located at a busy area, nights are pretty quiet. Close to several restaurants and even a Trader Joe’s at a walking distance. There is no luxury here, but 100% would recommend as the room was VERY clean and had everything one can need for a quick trip."

Lighthouse Lodge And Cottages

8/10 Good

"The water pressure is very good in the showers. A lot of hotels have really bad water pressure but the lighthouse Lodge has great water pressure in the showers. However, the beds need some upgrading cause they were extremely lumpy at least in the room that we had and hard and maybe a little more expansion on their continental breakfast rather than just bagels and oatmeal but other than that, the stuff was really nice. We didn’t get a chance to check out the pool or the spa but people were using it and it looked nice and cozy, but we didn’t get a chance to use it overall I give it a 3 1/2 to 4 stars"
