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?

Would stay here again. We liked the buffet breakfast and the evening drinks that were included in the price. The room was quite large with a lounge/seating area at the front and bedroom at the back.

We had trouble trying to print our boarding passes at the public printer as there was no toner left in it, reception were helpful and let us print them using their reception computer and printer.
Close to shops and restaurants and not that far from the beach.
Always plenty of parking spaces in the car park.
Would recommend this hotel

Just fine after staying a number of times

We love the location and stayed one night and found everything just fine. As a few times in the past, our room was very nice as were the hotel amenities. It's not that far to many excellent golf courses, Pebble Beach, and the shops and restaurants in Carmel.
The Best All Suite ever and the Restaurant is the same!! Fabulous Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay,Cali.

I was going for a convention at the hotel and was not told there was a $40 nightly parking upon checking in. I thought it was included with the conference. When I asked about it upon checking out, they said its stated on line, but I feel the receptionist should've mentioned it. That is $120 I was not expecting. Also, If you sleep on the pullout…
