I had an exceptional stay at the Monterey Plaza Hotel! My room featured a pleasant city and partial sea view. The true highlight was the rooftop gym and spa, where the facilities were top-notch, and the outdoor jacuzzi offered a stunning view of the bay—absolute bliss. Dining at the hotel's restaurants, including Schooners Coastal Kitchen and Bar, was a culinary delight with superb service to match. Each meal was expertly prepared, and the ambiance was perfect for a relaxing evening. The lobby happy hour with its live band created a lively and inviting atmosphere. Although the valet parking was somewhat expensive, it was a minor detail compared to the overall exemplary experience. This hotel is definitely worth a five-star rating for its luxury, service, and facilities!

Only thing i would say was less than ideal, although i know they were trying to be accommodating.. is that a wheelchair accessible room is not the same for exception "a shower handle" The bed in much much lower and the shower is actually less that usable for an able bodied person let alone a wheelchair bound person
