The large family room is perfect for us. My kids love the indoor pool. Wish the hot tub was bigger and cleaner.
The staff is really friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff seem to work hard and do a good job making sure both the inside of the rooms and outside areas are kept tidy.

Comfortable family room
Stayed a week with 2 older children. Picked 3 queen bed room. Was spacious and comfortable for longer stay with teenagers. Office staff was friendly, room was clean, parking was easy. Could easily walk to Trader Joe's or Alveredo Street for restaurants. For people who like to walk, not far to the warf, coastal trail, and beach. Great landing pad to explore Monterey area!

Rude Office Staff.
The establishment is decent and doable for a quick stay but the rudeness of the staff at the checking in is not acceptable.

Accountability……NONE. We prepaid..
I have stayed at STARGAZER annually for the past 8 years while in Monterey…they have never remembered me. While staying on Dec7-11 2024, we checked in and put our belongings away to include golfing equip/clubs. We settled down to watch a highly anticipated football game and the TV doesn’t work. We called front desk (Carla), who confirmed it did not work- they rented us the room (we requested 112, so we could get our golf equip in/out quickly each day)…They new the TV did not work. I mentioned to Carla that we would be out playing golf for 6 hours the next day-so they could swap out the TV. That DID NOT Happen.
Now we are dealing with Allan(sp)who just wants to get thru it since he’s was never involved. Bottom line- stay with a broken TV or move all our stuff out to a less accessible /Smaller room whose TV works (but 1 they would not unplug and place in our 1st room!!) so we didn’t have to move all our stuff to the smaller/less accessible room….Probably a 20 minute Fix —but they can’t/won’t Do It.
So the TV works in this smaller/cramped room but we’re not happy about the inconvenience on something they were aware of prior to our arrival. Allan mentioned something about a room ‘credit or adjustment’ at check out.
Now its check out time and there is yet another employee who doesn’t know me or care about my circumstance. I just heard ‘blah, blah, blah’. He doesn’t know me or care about me…and if that’s the way he feels..I will take my business somewhere its appreciated
