My family and I just stayed at the Intercontinental Monterey this past weekend and as always, this hotel delivers far beyond expectation. It is absolutely my favorite place to stay…and I never want to leave once I’m there. The hotel staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The location of the hotel is unbeatable; situated in the heart of Cannery Row, you’re only a few steps from the Aquarium, the beach, walking trails, and plenty of fantastic restaurant choices.
We started each day of our stay with breakfast at the hotel’s attached restaurant, The C Restaurant and Bar - and wow! The food, the service, and the views are all top-notch. We enjoyed watching the otters in the ocean with unobstructed views of the bay from our table as we drank coffee and ate our way through many of the dishes on the menu (all of them were phenomenal). We came and went throughout the day. We enjoyed astounding views from our hotel room. We took advantage of the restaurant bar and room service on several occasions. And we slept very well, thanks to the comfortable beds and the sound of the ocean outside.
Overall, we had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. We enjoyed many of the amenities (the gym, the pool and hot tub, room service, valet, etc.) and can’t wait to come back to utilize their on-site spa during our next stay. We enjoyed our time so much, we literally couldn’t leave and extended our stay for an additional night. This hotel will always be my go-to recommendation for anyone wanting to enjoy the coast of Monterey. Thank you to the staff at Intercontinental for making our weekend in Monterey so unforgettably beautiful.
