Gone to the birds

We went for our 31st wedding anniversary. We go couple times a year to Monterey and always stay at the same Hotel. We chose to stay a five nights six days not realizing that to have them park your car was $50 a night. Which wouldn't have been that big of a deal but when we received our vehicle back it was covered in bird poop. When you have a very expensive vehicle and you're paying the kind of money we paid for the week you would think your vehicle would be taken care of or at least kept Undercover or told that it's not going to be kept Undercover. We were also roomed above the coffee shop which was extremely noisy. Oh well better luck next time for us I guess.

Our stay was exceptional! It was refreshing to receive impeccable customer service. All accommodations exceeded our expectations. Enjoyed the most delicious seafood dinner in their restaurant and then relaxied in the outdoor jacuzzi located in the spa. We definitely plan on returning to Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa in the future. We stayed the 3rd week in May. For the quality of the hotel, service and location, this gem was a bargain!!
