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.

First the good… employees are very nice and the buffet breakfast is really good. The restaurant is nice as is the bar. Unfortunately the hotel building is very old and was not designed with the ocean nearby as the room views are just okay and they have no balconies.

First the good… employees are very nice and the buffet breakfast is really good. The restaurant is nice as is the bar. Unfortunately the hotel building is very old and was not designed with the ocean nearby as the room views are just okay and they have no balconies. The pool and hot tub are in the center courtyard on the second floor of a tall building so they get about an hour or so of sun. I would pick a different hotel for a real Monterey experience.

I stayed multiple days but not back to back. 5/21/2025 and 5/26/2025 both stays were perfect. I was in town for Caliroots music festival over Memorial Day weekend.

After checking in both days I went to the bar for some food and drinks. On 5/21/2025 Connor (bartender) night mgr and host provided amazing customer service. On 5/26/2025 Angelina was great both times, the same host was there both times. I also was allowed to check in early 5/26/2026 (after 4 days of camping, I needed an early check in) and was upgraded to a room in the 6th floor on the corner with a partial beach view. Room was great, bed and couch were so comfortable. I did have an early flight the next morning so I received my wake-up call. Read less

A really great hotel - friendly staff, clean and comfy rooms. The hotel is central to the Main Street and we were lucky enough to catch the farmers market when we arrived. The rooms on the street can be quite noisy (this quietened about 10pm) but it’s worth it for the sea view.

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.

Showers got hot but water pressure (on the 4th floor) was not great. Nice sized vanity area but toilet/shower room was pretty small. Room itself was spacious (double… Read more
