We had a fabulous time celebrating our Anniversary @ The Monterey Plaza Hotel! The staff was very accommodating and friendly. To our surprise, we received an Anniversary card and a complementary bottle of wine in our room. We also received a delicious Anniversary dessert from Scooners after our wonderful meal. Thanks for making our Anniversary a memorable one! Can’t wait to return!

I have stayed at Monterey Plaza a number of times and each time is more memorable than the last. Beautiful, good vibes, clean, gorgeous views and smells exactly like the Ritz, which is one of my all time favorite hotel scents. If you’re looking for a weekend getaway in Monterey the Plaza is the place to stay.
