Fodor's Expert Review Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

Guests at this Cannery Row hotel can see frolicking sea otters from its wide outdoor patio and many room balconies. The architecture blends early California and Mediterranean styles and echoes elements of the old cannery design. Meticulously maintained, the property has both simple and luxurious accommodations. The top-floor spa offers a full array of treatments, perfect after a workout in the penthouse fitness center.
