Monterey Bay Coastal Trail, California hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great location, within walking distance to pier with a great restaurant! Also close to coffee shops, bakery and other restaurants. I would definitely stay again! Very clean and friendly staff"

"Yes, it had a wide variety of choices for breakfast including personalized omelettes. Rooms were clean and quiet."

"They gave me an upgrade after a slight complication with my reservation. Went above and beyond IMO. Excellent staff. Will definitely be back. "

"This is such a cute sprawling hotel with multiple buildings in a small complex of buildings! Surrounding the pool and courtyard. The rooms aren't very luxurious but they're comfortable for a family vacation. The front desk was a friendly well oiled machine! The restaurant is a good size to allow for plenty of room. There is nice inside dining options. They hit you with an auto-gratuity for parties of 6 or more... in a hotel? That's obnoxious and not really appropriate given it's not a place people go unless they're staying at the hotel most of the time. How embarrassingly tacky for a Hilton brand to allow that! "

"Amazing location, but definitely felt the tone of rudeness with the staff at check in when they noticed I had purchased the stay through a 3rd party. The hot tubs where children are allowed are not the ones that face the ocean."

"The staff is very pleasant "

"Clean room, delicious dinner "

"Helpful staff. Parking. Perfect location for visiting aquarium."

"Beach view was stunning. "
