A hidden gem!

I love the Stargazer Inn and Suites and will definitely return here if ever in Monterey again. It was clean as a whistle! Note that some rooms have hard floors (no carpeting) so I'm glad I brought our slippers. The indoor pool was a highlight! The pool is salt water, though the hot tub seemed to use regular chlorine. Both were well maintained with no funky smell afterward in our suits, which I greatly appreciated. All this and the price couldn't be beat. Loved it!

I would definitely not recommend this hotel! Extremely out dated, the shower water pours out onto the floor when showering, the office smelled horrible like Mildew, the room fridge did not work and when we opened it smelled like mold. The pool water had a foul odor too it. I can’t even describe the smell. The jacuzzi did not heat up, the jacuzzi jets were bubbling so fast the water was continuously over flowing out of the jacuzzi. When I booked I told them I would be paying when I arrived at check in time which was 3:00. They charged my card First thing that morning before I even arrived for the scheduled check in time and required a additional 200.00 dollar deposit on top of the room fee. My list can go on and on. They had plastic chairs and outdated office chairs all around the outside of the rooms. The pillows were as hard as rocks.This was a very unpleasant experience and I will never stay here or recommend this hotel

My card was billed twice when I already paid through Expedia. When I called the front desk to dispute the charge, they told me that Expedia never paid them. Be weary when booking and make sure you check your credit card statement.

Simple stay option

It was a fine place if you’re looking for a simple stay. Our room was in the lower parking lot so a bit dark and musty but fine. The beds were a little worn and could feel the springs a bit. The pool had a few slimy parts to it and was not as clean as the pictures indicated but it was fine.
