Cute room, great location, good breakfast although I had to ask for a breakfast parfait only after I discovered someone eating one and asked where that was. I was not informed that was available.

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
The adjoining room door was next to the bed. Very poor sound proofing. The next room’s conversations at normal tones sounded like they were in our room. They talked until 2:45AM. The hotel clerk did make note of it the next morning when I reported it. Hopefully they will fix the problem.
