Top Steinbeck's Spirit of Monterey Wax Museum Hotel Reviews

Wave Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, it’s comfortable stay."

Monterey Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Everything deserves five stars except the breakfast, which was quite boring. The options were very limited—hard-boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt, and muffins. If you’re staying for several nights, having the same limited choices every morning can get pretty boring. A little more variety would make the experience much better."

Lovers Point Inn

8/10 Good

"Negatives: The room was mostly clean although there was a wrapper on the floor from a previous occupant under a little table that may have gotten missed. My bed's sheets were clean, but there was a small visible stain on the bottom fitted sheet. One of the card keys did not work & the 1st night was a little noisy at 12:30am, then again around 2 or 3am as we heard a dog bark aggressively at someone (?) within one of the rooms, then there was talking to follow for a while. We arrived around 5:30pm for check in which was now dark (time change). We were directed to park in the underground parking, but when we drove down into this area, there were no other cars, only one entrance to enter & exit out of. You had to turn around in a very tight area to get out. There were puddles of standing water from drainage above which made unloading awkward not to get wet. After unloading our luggage to the room, I re-parked my car in one of the outside parking spots because I didn't feel good about the underground parking area & signs everywhere stating to park "at your own risk" made me feel a little nervous. Positives: The shower was nice, amenities were available within the room (iron, coffee maker, humidifier ...) Hotel was in process of upgrades to overall rooms, exterior & also adding a breakfast station within the front office that would open soon after our visit. Office staff very friendly & the location is the BEST!"

Martine Inn

8/10 Good

"Martine Inn is undeniably beautiful, and the location is absolutely stunning, but unfortunately, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to the price or the luxury expectations we had. We stayed in the Parke Room and absolutely loved its charm and character. One of our favorite memories was getting to use the fireplace on our second night! I do wish we had been better informed about how cold the rooms can get at night, especially since there’s no central heating or air conditioning. Breakfast was lovely, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere and presentation. However, the menu was surprisingly limited, with essentially one main option each morning. Modifications didn’t seem particularly welcomed either. Thankfully, I’m not a picky eater, but for a property marketed as a luxury experience, I would have appreciated more flexibility and variety, especially when it came to protein options. Another thing worth mentioning is the luggage situation. We flew in with a decent amount of luggage and weren’t expecting to have to carry everything upstairs ourselves. It’s something to be prepared for, especially if you’re traveling with larger suitcases. Our biggest disappointment was not having hot water on our first night. After a long day of traveling, this was especially frustrating. While we were offered a discount, it felt relatively small considering the inconvenience and the price we paid for our stay."
