  • The bedding was luxurious; I was able to sleep very well.
  • The walls are thin and the noise from the street can keep you up all night if you are from the same time zone.

“I found the room to be clean, but the water pressure wasn't that great. The noise from the street would keep someone up all night if they were a light sleeper. Also early in the morning you hear the garbage trucks going up and down the street for pickups. The fee for internet and wireless service is outrageous$9.95 a day. There are cheaper hotels in the area which offer free wireless. The location is great for those who want to travel around Monterey. My favorite thing in this hotel was the duvet bedding. It was extremely comfortable and I slept like a baby.

  • The staff and room comfort.
  • The valet fees were ridiculous at $19 per day.

“Although the staff was friendly and the hotel lovely, the restaurant and parking left a lot to be desired.”

  • Large rooms, attractive interior, good customers, good night parking situation.
  • Stains in the room on pillows and towels, not close to Cannery Row.

“Good business hotel, large rooms, but stains on curtains, pillows and towels. Overall, not a four star experience, more 3 star. The hotel is too far from Cannery Row (1.3 miles). Hotel is close to a $5 per day public parking garage. Many convention guests and friendly valet guys.”

  • The apples.
  • Rooms are small. Double beds were too small.

“This hotel either has 2 double beds which are very small or the one king. The king bed was so bouncy that only one person should sleep in it. If you toss and turn, the other person can't sleep as they are being bounced around. The buffet breakfast was a shambles, and not cheap either.”

  • Staff was excellent. Gave us a free upgrade room and sent champagne and chocolate covered strawberries for my 50th birthday.
  • Charged for daily valet parking fee.

“Centrally located and the staff was exceptional. Everyone was more than accommodating.”

  • The location to various attractions.
  • Staff was not as courteous as I had expected.

“The hotel itself was very nice. The valet and bell hop were very courteous; however the front desk, bar, room service and concierge could have been more courteous.”

  • Nice room, comfortable bed.
  • Room was across from 24 hour hotel gym loud noise all night.

“The hotel would have been fine, had our room not been across the hall from the 24 hour hotel gym. It was noisy all night with the door slamming and made it difficult to sleep.”

  • The staff gave us an ocean view room upon request.
  • You have to use valet, for $19/night, or park 1 1/2 blocks away.

“Overall I was impressed with this hotel. Hotel highlights: clean, friendly & fast staff, extra friendly valets.”

  • The location was good.
  • It is very noisy if you have someone next door who like to slam doors at 5 AM.

“The hotel was average. The location was great. The people in the hotel room next to us liked to bang their door from 5 AM to 9 AM. The hotel was nice and switched our room. The second room was much quieter. The rooms are on the small side.”

  • The valets were helpful and go out of their way.
  • The front staff at the desk would not get the elevator fixed and were not very friendly.

“Overall it was okay. They did not want to give us a room with double beds. They were not very warm and welcoming like you would expect a hotel to be and it was a long walk to the wharf even though when I called they stated they were less than a block away it was more like a mile away.”

  • I liked the location. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in Monterey.
  • Uncomfortable beds and pool.

“For the most part we were very pleased with the hotel. It was in a great location, close to fisherman's Warf and we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go. It was a very attractive hotel and my kids were very impressed with how fancy it was. Some things I was disappointed in were the beds, very uncomfortable, especially for a Marriott. I have stayed at other Marriott's and the beds were more comfortable than my own. The entire pool was only 3 feet deep and they only have valet parking for $19.00 a night. I would stay there again because of the location and cleanliness. We had a great trip!”

  • They accepted the coupon I had earned from previous stays at the Marriott.
  • In the bar, we had a two bottles of French wine we had purchased for our anniversary. They would not waive the $20 corking fee.

“The hotel accommodations were great. This was our third time at this hotel. We were there to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary and had purchased two bottles of French wine. We ate at the Characters Sports Bar in the hotel. Upon sitting, we told the server that we were guests at the hotel and we were celebrating our special day and had some wine we had purchased. They would not waive the $20 corking fee. I thought it was tacky.”

  • They were very responsive to a personal request.
  • They only had one set of elevators and this didn't feel real comfortable.

“The staff didn't seem very informed regarding the surroundings. We asked for recommendations for places to eat and she didn't know. We asked for a drug store and he recommended one a mile and half away when there are one approximately two blocks away and a store around the corner. The overall experience was very good. The dining for breakfast was excellent. The room was cute.”

  • Staff was friendly and very helpful; great location & excellent view.

“Hotel staff was great. Room was very nice with soft pillows and bedding; very clean and up to date. We had an excellent view of Monterey Bay which the front desk staff took the time to find for us when we requested a view.”
