Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa Reviews

The hotel is old, the elevator is a joke and in a different building. I felt unsafe given the design and layout of the complex and how every group of rooms was in their own standalone building with outside access. There was no parking. When I arrived at midnight, I had to wedge my car into the last remaining parking spot next to a giant oversized jeep that was hogging half of the empty spot which I’m sure is the only reason that spot was still available. The pool is really more of a kiddie pool – shallow and ill-designed for swimming laps. There were hairs on the bathmat. That was gross. Just made me wonder how clean the towels and wash clothes were. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I did sleep well. However I was cold. I do not understand why hotels have stopped putting proper comforters on the beds. These days you’re just sleeping under a glorified sheet. So I did get cold. Fortunately, I found an extra blanket in the closet and folded it over for double thickness. I was grateful I paid a few dollars extra to get the pool view, because the rooms on the other side were facing the highway. I didn’t realize how close we were to the freeway until I entered the *open corridor* where you could easily hear the roaring of the highway traffic.
