This is the supercharger that services all of the tourist spots of Monterey and Carmel. Located…read moreinside the Del Monte Shopping Center, it contains 10 V2 chargers. The shopping center is located right off CA-1. Like Jerry has mentioned, this is an important place to do full charges or top-offs should you wish to do a Central Coast road trip. Along CA-1S your next SC is located at Ventana Big Sur, 32 miles away but to even get to Big Sur can be dependent on road conditions. Along US-101S the next SC is in Paso Robles, *146* miles away along the edge of CA-46. Unlike CA-1 (one of the world's famous drives), US-101 is comparable to I-5 for long stretches of road with hardly any facilities, much less any EV charging stations. Going north your nearest superchargers on CA-1 are in Watsonville, while on US-101 the closest is in Salinas. I personally didn't shop nor eat at the shopping center so I wouldn't be able to tell you my experiences here. But here is a list of stores for your persual: https://www.delmontecenter.com/directory/ I did, however, use the restroom inside Macy's, located on the second floor. Restrooms were clean.

Based on the limited charging stations at this location AND this being the closest location for…read moremiles (from Monterey) I decided to arrive before the sun broke (think 6AM). Located inside the Safeway parking lot, opposite end of the store's entrance, it is easy to find. The charging station I used (1) connected and began working immediately. There was one other person charging when I arrived. The location is clean, fairly lit for the time. To be the only charging station for miles, four charging stations is not sufficient. Since we were traveling a distance, we like to charge to 100% to ensure we do not need to recharge for some time. Since this location's charging stations are so limited and its proximity to the next closest one is not close, there is a charging limitation of 85% to decrease wait time for others. Where the chargers were positioned, there was ample room for at least four more to have been installed. To inconvenience the consumer for lack of implementation of Electrify America's behalf, lacks a service model. Located less than ten minutes from Monterey, this Pacific Grove location was convenient off the 1 to 68W. Safeway was open when I arrived, I was able to pick up a few things for our beach day without requiring an additional stop later. If you do not want to wait, come early to avoid it. Not sure when this location gets busy but with its limited charging stations I would not want to chance it. Before I departed, all stations were in use within 30 minutes of arrival.

There really aren't too many options. There is a wait time to get to a charger. There are several…read morehole in the wall restaurants to go to while waiting. I wanted to charge for about an hour, but it seemed like it stopped earlier by 11 minutes and it charges for idle time. Maybe someone came by and pushed the stop button. Update: read that electrify America allows up to 85% battery charging only. So need to recalculate how long you need to stay. Though, I've been at other locations before, accidentally went over and didn't get charged idling.

One thing about going to a new city is how you imagine an area in your mind's eye, sometimes…read moredoesn't match the reality. Knowing that this outdoor shopping center was 3 stories and had over 30 stores, I expected the area around it to be like a city center, with heavy foot and car traffic, lots of noise, and business advertisement. Instead, I wasn't sure if we were in the right place, because the neighborhood looked residential. The city planners/architects did a really nice job to implement this intention. The shopping center first opened in 1960, as an open-air courtyard style with a luxury department store, unheard of at the time for a town that small. Throughout the years, it hosted a major department store chain (Saks Fifth Avenue) as well. Now, in keeping with Carmel's intention to not have any national brand retail in it's city limits, the majority of stores/restaurants at this mall are local (though there are exceptions like Tiffany & Co, Anthropologie, and Brunello Cuccinelli). We got lucky and found free street a block from the center. Even on a Monday late morning, it was quite busy with tourists and locals alike hanging out in the main courtyard. A really nice feature was the large outdoor gas firepit that people were using to keep warm. We had come for a particular restaurant, but were informed that they were closed for the day for a private event (no signs or mention on their website)...I guess that's how this particular business rolls.

One of the places we always come to when we arrive in the Monterey Bay, Carmel plaza Shopping has…read moresome great shops with a variety of products, clothes, and other items which we enjoy. The center has three different levels with stairs in the middle and each side or if you desire an elevator, there is one on the end. During the weekend or summertime when it's busy, parking can be a challenge. There is a parking garage not far away if the street is full. If that is full, you may need to walk a bit. There is also some great places to eat such as The Flying Fish, a coffee shop, and a wine maker or two. In the center of the plaza, there is space to sit and enjoy the environment-just find some shade if it's warm!

We stayed here for 2 nights this past weekend for a work conference. Since we checked in late all…read morethe rooms in the main builidng with elevator access were taken. So, our room was in the small add-on building attached to the hotel facing the crepe restaurant. It's a small room (Room #279) with two short flights of stairs and a detached AC unit. The room was updated but the ceiling was low. The bathroom floor by the shower has a big yellow stain on it. We were not too happy with the room but they said they were sold out. Our valet guy who helped us with our luggage was very friendly and nice. He jokingly called our room the dungeon. We have stayed at this hotel several times before they remodeled it. I think they did a good job with the remodeling. The entrance area feels bright and big. Housekeeping did not come to clean our room. And, the restroom in the main lobby was not properly maintained. All the stalls had toilet paper in them and the toilets were not flushing well. Lastly, the hotel is very close to Fisherman's Wharf and downtown but far from Cannery Row/Monterey Bay Aquarium. So, depending on your preferences, this hotel might not be the best location for you. There are restaurants and shops close by. There is a bike shop right by the hotel and we rented a bike and rode our bikes out to Pacific Grove. That was very nice!

Did breakfast buffet daily, as we had credit. We also went to the pool, and the kids loved it. Walked around the golf course and saw some deers. There was a wedding so it was kind of loud. Wished the in room dining had more food. All in all, good experience here.

My husband booked this place for the family with good intentions but missed a few details that I'd…read morelike to share in the hopes someone else may be reading reviews for this place. Location: beautiful breathtaking views tucked away in a mountain valley, it is a perfect spot to get away from the hustle and bustle from city noise pollution and high populations. Customer service: there are only 1-2 check in desks, where they spend about 10-20 minutes with each customer explaining the property amenities, location of room, events, etc. when you've been traveling all day, every minute feels like a lifetime. Restaurant: there is only one full service, sit in restaurant that gets booked very fast especially for dinner. Plan ahead and make a reservation in advance for every night you plan to stay on campus and eat there, otherwise, expect to wait until 8 pm or drive to the nearby restaurants which include a Subway, pizza joint, or a small Vietnamese restaurant. Earthbound Organic Farm is a great alternative option for a small breakfast or lunch bites. There is another Mexican restaurant nearby. Clientele in the mornings consist of rowdy children and their inconsiderate parents. I recommend asking to be seated outside if you have well mannered children and want to eat in peace. Rooms: mediocre clean. For being a Hyatt affiliated hotel, I had higher expectations, rooms are carpeted with wooden floors and heavy rugs. This resort is pet friendly so if you have someone in the family that suffers from allergies or has a very sensitive nose, this is not the best place to stay. As most Californian hotels that have carpeting, you can smell odors in the carpeting and linen. When things got hot and humid in our room, I got a nice whiff of dog. Basically any pet friendly hotel means that your linens will be washed with dog poo or other animal fluids. Rooms are only dusted at eye level but if you're someone that is concerned about dust mites, be prepared to get a showering of dust mites on bed, where the headboards reach 6' high and hold lots of lovely layers of dust. Coffee pot is sad and comparable to a motel 6 version with blah coffee, and lastly the beds are super firm with no ability to adjust (like other Hyatt holidays offer), and pillows are huge and uncomfortable. Foam alternative is slightly softer but still too high for a back sleeper or stomach sleeper. Bathroom: limited. They do provide tiny handwashing bars of soap made of lavender, and provide a tiny sample sac of lavender salt to use in tub but for those with allergies, best to request an alternative if any. Shower corners contain black mold. Refrigerators: our room had a tiny refrigerator that could hardly fit anything and doesn't cool sufficiently so for those moms packing extra healthy snacks for your kids, consider your fridge useless. All the strawberries, yogurts and hummus we purchased made it straight to the trash. Room patio: dirty and useless. There was a couple of upholstered seats and one table on our patio that could not be enjoyed as they were filled with dirt, dust and leaves. Would I stay here again? No - due to the pet issue for me. Most Californians love their pets and don't mind staying in places that wreak of dog butts that they've habituated to. Like I said, my husband had good intentions but there were too many issues that made it undesirable for me.
