Always a great stay here. Friendly staff, comfortable and clean rooms, plus good breakfast choices. Valet is a little pricey at $39+tax but worth it. I always enjoy the rooms with a view of the Bay but regardless of where my room is at, it is always a quiet, undisturbed stay. Hotel is also a convenient walk to many other good eateries and shops.
Great Location, Needs Some Updating

Great location but everything else was substandard. We opted for an "upgrade" prior to our stay and got screwed. We payed extra money for a room without a view and it was filthy! There was mold on the window sills, water dripping down the walls, missing furniture, a light that would not turn off, and it was just generally grotty. We asked to move… Read more
Great location but everything else was substandard. We opted for an "upgrade" prior to our stay and got screwed. We payed extra money for a room without a view and it was filthy! There was mold on the window sills, water dripping down the walls, missing furniture, a light that would not turn off, and it was just generally grotty. We asked to move rooms but they said they were fully booked and couldn't. They actually did absolutely nothing! The people at the front desk were like robots. They would not acknowledge or try to address our complaint. Everyone we encountered, from the people parking our car to the front dest staff were...rude. I have one more stay at a Marriott in Seattle and then I am no longer staying at any Marriott property. They don't care, then I will try somewhere else that is not a Marriott property. I recommend the Portola Hotel across the way. The people there seemed friendly and engaged. Marriott has really gone downhill in recent years. It is sad and disappointing to see. Read less
Great place to stay in Monterey

Excellent staff which made for an excellent stay…. Very accommodating from the off, valet parking was smooth, reception staff were superb and very flexible as we arrived early. Nobody could assist you enough and all requirements were met accordingly. Fantastic stay….
Fantastic

Great value property for this stay. I had wanted to stay previously but the hotel was about $200 more a night than the Hyatt Regency so I stayed there instead. This time the rate was the same as the Hyatt Regency so I booked and appreciated the welcome amenities. Was provided an elite labeled room for Bonvoy Ambassador status. It was spacious and comfortable with no noise issues for good sleep quality. Breakfast buffet was decent - the omelette line got busy. Location to the wharf made for a pleasant walk. Very pleasant front desk staff members. Only issue was the front entrance was quite congested with cars around 11am so it was tricky for rideshare pick ups at that time. Read less
