The hotel

Ideally positioned to give you a superior experience in a great location, the Marriott Monterey holds a prestigious spot on the waterfront overlooking Monterey Bay. You’ll find that celebrated attractions, such as Big Sur and the Monterey Aqaurium, are close by, as well as galleries, boutiques, and legendary golf courses. After working up an appetite exploring the local area, head to Fin + Field to enjoy the best in local flavour (classy surroundings, fresh ingredients, and fabulous cocktails are always on the menu) or venture out to Cannery Row to experience Monterey’s premier dining and nightlife, just a short drive away. At the end of a day well spent, retreat to your classically modern room, complete with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows ideal for enjoying views of Downtown or the Bay.

I experienced a scary situation at this hotel. I was on a work trip and noticed a man hanging around the bar making conversation with anyone he could chat up and hung around all evening. When I went to the front desk in the evening to request a late check out he was there chatting up the receptionist. She asked if she could help me and what my room number was. He was right there next to us listening. I said I wasn’t comfortable giving my room number but she could look it up by the first few letters of my last name, hoping she would get the hint. The man left then I noticed he was waiting by the elevator keeping the door open. I waited until they closed then found him waiting by my room. I stopped when I saw him and called a male coworker I was on the work trip with. Safe to say I didn’t sleep well and will not be returning. Read less

Staying here as a family of 4 right now over Thanksgiving and the service with the front desk staff has been quite disappointing. We are Platinum Bonvoy, requested to use our Advance Upgrade (booked more than a month ago) but was declined. They don’t offer any redeeming benefits to make up for it (like a complimentary breakfast for the kids would have been nice - spoke to a Claudia at front desk and wow was she very curt and didn’t want to engage). The staff here can benefit from some training on customer service, and how to delight loyal customers especially! The property itself is basic and alright. Parking is valet only at $40/day. Would not stay here again Read less

Oct 30, 2024 romanfredi Buenos Aires, Argentina

This hotel is definitely not worth the price, many things should be improved starting with the housekeeping of the bedroom (they don’t clean the floors nor the bathroom, they just leave new towels and straighten the beds), the pillows are terrible, they don’t have luggage scale… As I said before, it’s not worth the price, you have many hotels… Read more
