Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside

Monterey, California

Star rating

The hotel

With this hotel offering two-room suites all round, it's tempting to stay in and relax for longer, but the complimentary hot breakfast buffet and made-to-order omelette station will help get you out and set up for the day! At the Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside, you are a couple of blocks from the beach and just two miles north of Downtown Monterey, with lots of attractions and activities along the Bay too, such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium or Steinbeck Museum. Alternatively, head out in the car for 20 minutes or so for a bit of hiking, winery action or spa treats. The hotel’s 2-hour evening reception with complimentary cocktails and snacks is a great way to kick-off your evening. The Silver Tide Bar & Grill is in the atrium too, so why not drop in afterwards for some local California cuisine?

We are diamond members. Our room was not ready at check in time (which was total chaos) and our shower didn’t work. I do not recommend this hotel. Front desk was not very helpful either with our shower problem at 6:00 am. This is by far my most disappointing Hilton stay.
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Not brillant on the basics like a decent shower and a quiet room but lovely extras made up for it.

It was ok. The rooms were nice but very loud with machinery outside the window. We were expecting two bedrooms but they did make up another bed on the sofa for us when we asked.

We stayed overnight with our two young girls before visiting the aquarium. This is a modern property and although breakfast was busy the staff worked hard to clean tables and keep the buffet well stocked. The rooms were clean and modern by embassy suites standards.

This is a modern property and although breakfast was busy the staff worked hard to clean tables and keep the buffet well stocked. The rooms were clean and modern by embassy suites standards. My girls also enjoyed the pool as the shallow end was only about 3 ft deep so they could both stand. Good place for families. Read less
