Best Western Beach Resort Monterey, Monterey

The room was clean, the food was good and the location is very pretty. If your looking for a nice beach to just relax at this is the place.

We have gone twice once on July 14th 07 for our honeymoon and then just went back a month ago. Just wanted to say, what a change! The reinovation of the place was a big wow when walking into the room this time. The only thing that we personally didn't like was when going in July we paid 260. per night and 10. to park in the hotel parking lot, this to me was very expensive for a Best Western no matter what location. When going a month ago the price was better 130. range but still 10. for parking per night.

Beach Front Room 3rd Floor. Imagine opening up your automatic window shades in the morning, and watching Dolphin, Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, Sea Otters and Diving Brown Pelicans right outside your window. Or taking a walk from your room, down the beach to Fishermans Wharf, Cannery Row and the Aquarium. We had a wonderful stay! Would do it again in a heartbeat!

We stayed at the Best Western for two nights in July because the online rates were amazing for an ocean-view room. Even after the ‘parking fee’ and the ‘resort fee’ (it’s not a resort by the way), the rates were still reasonable. Our stay was nice enough. The rooms are small but comfy and very clean. We had a great view of the ocean. We loved being able to get up in the morning and walk along the beach. There were a lot of kids at the hotel, but it wasn’t very noisy. The pool was dirty, but that was expected since the hotel has direct access to the ocean. The main issue we have is that they over charged us $60 for one of the nights. We have called them twice to resolve this issue. First, we left a message (went unanswered). When we did finally reach someone, she claimed that we were informed of the rate change. We were not informed of any rate change. She then apologized and told us that she would deal with it. She never did, and we have not been reimbursed the $60. This obviously is bad business practice and we will not be staying here again. **If you’re going to stay here bring your online confirmation. The online confirmation has the correct room rate that they should charge you at checkout**

My wife and I visited Best Western Beach Resort in Monterey for a second stay in late May/early June. We were scheduled to be there for three days, but an emergency centering on our vehicle required that we leave a day early. In a wonderful, gracious gesture, Best Western did not charge us for the third day, even though we were nearly five hours beyond check-out time! Also, they moved us to a quieter, marvelous ocean-view room the second night of our stay, honoring our request to be located a significant distance from the elevator. The stafff was considerate and professional, and did their best to make us comfortable and happy. I strongly recommend their ocean-view rooms, which provide the guest(s)with a fantastic view of Monterey Bay. All in all, this is a super place to stay, and their kind gesture of not charging us for a third day says a lot --- all of it good --- about their attitude. Jack and Gladys

We were on our harleys riding from colorado and my wife seen the motel from the highway! It was a stay my wife and i will never forget! Laid on the beach for 2 days and the accomidations were excellent! Had a great time and definately will stay here again when we ride through!

This is highly recommendable - the rooms are not luxurious, but they are nice and clean, and have everything you need. And the hotel is situated so beutifully, right next to the ocean. The restaurant is quite good, too. Good value for money!

We made reservation 2 months ahead but when we were checking in, room get down graded, hotel has construction going on and most importantly, it is a motel. Top floor "ocean view" king's bedroom become ground floor cheap queen size bed with construction right in front of our view. The constructions was not mentioned during the time we made reservation and no notification of constructions after. Our vacation was completely ruin because of the their misconduct. This motel is NOT recommended!! Cheap rooms, rude service, smelly room and weird thing is... tap water smells too. It is not a resort or any kind.

This was a phenomenal facility with incredible professional and friendly staff. Everything was perfect and the construction of the sea wall did not have any impact on our stay. The restaurant was delicious! I would recommend this resort to the strongest critic and challenge them to find something negative.Enjoy your stay

I stayed on 08/30 at the resort. The ocean view room was spectacular. I love my stay at the resort. Everyone was friendly, the beach was just beautiful. Eventhough just a tad colder than what I've expected, I love the place. My husband and I enjoy the place very much. I would go back again when I have a chance. (Reminder: A very expensive place for ocean view, but we both thought its worth it).
