Health Issues With The Rooms, Unhealthy Breakfast. Nightly Rate Does Not Meet Quality.

We always stay at Marriotts when we travel in US overseas for business or vacation. We usually have a positive experience. NOT THIA TIME! We noticed a bad odor in the room upon arrival, tried to open a window or the sliding door to allow fresh air inside the room. The sliding door was locked and the windows did not have opening option.

We always stay at Marriotts when we travel in US overseas for business or vacation. We usually have a positive experience. NOT THIA TIME! We noticed a bad odor in the room upon arrival, tried to open a window or the sliding door to allow fresh air inside the room. The sliding door was locked and the windows did not have opening option. The fan was running and I became concern without fresh air, we might be breathing the air that circulates throughout our floor and we might be breathing the air coming from rooms with guests who may have illness. That was proven to be true once we got home after spending 2 nights at this hotel. I was diagnosed with COVID 3 days after returning home. I have never had Covid before. In addition, the only item on the breakfast buffet I could eat was a piece of whole wheat bread, a carton of milk. The coffee tasted old and bitter, the water melon was sludgy, other fruits were old and I do not eat any white wheat products due to its cause for diabetic and cancer. The 3 stars are for the very friendly and respectful staff and especially the valet guys who were very efficient, polite and helpful. The location of this hotel is great.

Nice full service Marriott

Nice big room king bed with a great view. Good location for strolling around and dinner. Coffee was not ready until 7am, but starbucks is around the corner.
Gotta deal with Seagull p**p. Pretty pricey, but love Marriotts

We stayed here for 6 nights, to attend a wedding in nearby Carmel Valley and also to see the sights around Monterey. Great hotel overall. Friendly front desk at all times. Best parts included the breakfast restaurant and efficient valet parking. We ordered from the breakfast menu and service was fast and food delicious. French toast with berries, the pancakes were our favorites. Despite the $39 valet parking daily fee, retrieving your car was fast - I did not call first, but presented our ticket to the valet desk. We had pizza in the restaurant on our final night for dinner, very good. Room was nice with a pool / Bay view. Convenient daily maid service.
Free washer and dryer on 2nd floor, plus laundry detergent complimentary at the front desk, hard to beat !
Easy walk to Fisherman’s Wharf and the Grotto Restaurant, plus Cibo Restaurant .
I ran the Monterey Coastal Trail up to Lovers Point and back, very scenic.

We usually stay here each year in June or July because it is very consistent and the staff is always very friendly. Quite often I might get an upgrade, which is nice. I did get an upgrade this stay as well as a piece of birthday cake and a bottle of wine in my room.

We usually stay here each year in June or July because it is very consistent and the staff is always very friendly. Quite often I might get an upgrade, which is nice. I did get an upgrade this stay as well as a piece of birthday cake and a bottle of wine in my room.
The rooms are always nice clean fresh and we have never had a problem with the room. We did get a balcony type room with our suite this time, which is interesting because it looks like a little bit like a jail yard ha ha. There was no privacy on the balcony but every time I sat out there, I never saw another person. It was a nice view toward Pacific Grove, and this time of year you can see the Western Gulls and their chicks on the rooftops.
When you walk along the coastal trail, you will see sea otters, sea lions, elephant seals, brown pelicans, Cormorant, and other birds. This time of year you will see Western goals and nests in some locations. It’s a great location to see lots of wildlife. The hotel is also located near the wharf where all of the tourist restaurants are, but there are also several restaurants in town that are equally as good.
We always really enjoy the buffet breakfast and eat way too much. The staff is also great here and the food is not very good.
The front desk staff was very friendly and the valet guys were all nice as well. This hotel is very consistent with good staffing and a clean room which is why we continue to come back each year.
