The hotel

Designed entirely around spacious two-room suites, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside makes it easy to spread out and settle in. Days start on a high note with a complimentary hot breakfast buffet and made-to-order omelette station, a real plus before heading out to explore the coast. 

The hotel sits just a couple of blocks from the beach and around two miles north of Downtown Monterey, putting highlights like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and the Steinbeck Museum within easy reach. Venture a little further afield and you’ll find scenic hiking trails, Carmel Valley wineries and relaxing spas, all around a 20-minute drive away. Back at the hotel, the nightly two-hour evening reception with complimentary drinks and snacks is a standout perk, ideal for easing into the evening. Stay in the light-filled atrium and follow it up with dinner at Silver Tide Bar & Grill, serving relaxed Californian cuisine with local flavour.

Loved staying here. Rooms were clean and modern, service fast and friendly and ideally located in a safe area near the highway, not far from beaches and local sites.

Worst road noise I’ve ever experienced in a hotel. Don’t stay here. Got NO sleep. Awful. I would give it a zero if I could.
