Nicely appointed Nice ocean - side setting Ample amenities - workout, pool (although MODEST) I was traveling with 2 girlfriends - we attempted to book spa treatments in advance - the spa was booked, eventually the spa receptionist offered a neighboring spa, a sister spa I believe - for which we were MOST appreciative!

That Booking referred to the room I booked as Ocean “view” which I paid for - and I had to CRANK my neck SIDEWAYS, standing at the window to get a glimpse of the water - DISAPPOINTING & a bit misleading!!! If you are going/interested in the Aquarium - it is a PERFECT location otherwise the area/Monterey felt a bit like Myrtle Beach - NOT the classiest of locations… LOTS of souvenir shops, lower end restaurants, lots of smilies with young children…

The arrival experience was great, everyone super friendly and helpful, very smooth experience. The location is unbeatable. It was also good, that everything was back to pre-pandemic levels, especially housekeeping.

To charge $75.00 PER DAY for our dog to stay with us. This could be a dealbreaker next time. We have stayed with him there many times, he is well behaved, does not make a mess, does jump onto the bed or anything. I understand that they might want to charge a one time fee and I am willing to pay $150, max for a stay, but definitely not $75.00 per day.

After 1 TERRIBLE night at the SFO Marriott (No valet parking, no host at restaurant, no ice machine on OUR floor), the Intercontinental Clement at Monterey was INCREDIBLE!! Easy to valet park!! Matthew on the front desk was so HELPFUL getting us in our room even though we were a few hours early!! AND he answered our questions that whole day!! The VIEW!! Seagulls sitting on our posts on our balcony!! EVEN WHEN I SAT OUTSIDE TO READ!! And I got a GREAT video of an Otter swimming by!!! Saw her with 2 pups a few days earlier but I couldn't get my camera focused!! AND Justa, our room cleaner did a GREAT job every day and she was so pleasant!! And there were REAL Orchids in our bathroom and they were replaced in each room!! WHO DOES THAT?!! You folks go WAY BEYOND!! And the 'C' was SO GOOD for our 3 breakfasts and 2 dinners!!! You folks REALLY made our vacation!! And don't forget how ALL the shops and Aquarium are right outside!! Such an easy walk to everywhere!!!

We watch a lot of TV and the selections were limited. AND the TV Guide was an hour behind!! And Channel 47 wasn't playing the shows on the guide but it WAS in Spanish!!! Unfortunately, we go to a TON of movies so the movie selections were ones we'd all ready seen!! Not your fault!!

Very poor food quality. Get a cafe cook and expand the menu with more comfort food.

The room that we got came with a patio, which was a great additional space for our little one to play in. The room itself was large enough for all of us, and it was pretty quiet. You can't beat the location either as it was right next to the aquarium so we can easily come back to the hotel to rest and then go back.

The pool was a little cold unfortunately so we didn't use it as much as we would have liked.

Location was perfect if you want to stay in Monterey, just down the road from the Aquarium and near many eateries and shops. Cute fireplace in room, and large room. Valet and front desk service was great, helpful and friendly.

For a 5-star hotel, no kettle or coffee-maker, wine opener, wine glasses, slippers.

The hotel was nice and clean. Breakfast was excellent. Staff was very friendly. I had a pleasant experience. The whole place was very relaxing

Definitely is overpriced. Didn't offer any commentary drinks or snacks. For what you pay I would have expected more .Even though location is great and inside is very clean I still think is overpriced. You are paying for everything.

Hotel was clean and staff was very friendly, especially in the restaurant. Location is good.

Very bad value for money. I paid for partial ocean view but could not see the ocean from my room, I had to step out of my room onto a common terrace to see the ocean (and the terrace didn't even have a seat or anything). No slippers in the room. I expected *a lot* more for $600 a night.

Really well maintained and comfortable property. Loved that we were right in the thick of downtown Monterey and literally next door to the aquarium. You certainly pay for it, but worth it! The staff were super hospitable and helpful.

A minor gripe was feeling nickel and dimed (pay extra for parking, pay extra for a fridge in room) but was a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things.

We ate in the restaurant and sat at the bar. The bartender was very knowledgeable of the hotel. We enjoyed talking to him. His dirty martini was great. All the food was delicious. We brought a bottle of wine to the great room and drank some by the fireplace. Then we went out to the peer and looked for seals. No seals but saw some otters.

The room was too warm for sleeping. We couldn't get the room cool enough. Pillows too soft.
