Marriott Hotels in Monterey

We had a great time! The simple breakfast is a lot better at similar places. The airport can be noise at times, but there are only a few flights coming and going.

This hotel used to be amazing. In the past, I would have paid the premium cost for the service, location, and experience. Now, I just can't say that anymore. I have stayed at the Portola hotel a number of times and the last few times, it just hasn't been that great, yet they still charge the same premium price The hotel is in a great location, which is still a draw, but the experience has become average. I love going to Monterey and this hotel was a reason I would want to come back, but now I find myself looking elsewhere. Portola just doesn't meet the expectations they put forward for the premium price they charge. So if you get a good price on that harbor view room, I would say go for it. Note, you may end up with a partial view looking at the roof of a building across the way, with a partial view of the water. But I would stay here again if the price was right. But if prices are the same as some of the other waterfront hotels, I will likely book elsewhere.

We arrived at 4 pm and checked in after 7 pm. The front desk said that the hotel system has crashed, everyone can't check in, and they can't give a time when it can be restored. Ctrip's customer service is still very good, communicated in time, and finally managed to check in. It was ridiculous, I argued with the front desk for a long time in my unfamiliar English. The location of the hotel is very good, you can walk to the aquarium, but the room facilities are outdated and need to be updated. The toilet was always beeping and the shower water wouldn't leak. Regardless of the check-in waiting time, the hotel is not bad in the popular area of ​​Montrey, and the service staff are warm and friendly. Catering is good.

Lovely clean hotel, spectacular views, and wonderful staff. From our balcony, we could see the otters playing in the ocean. The hotel supplies binoculars. Breakfast served right to your room. A nice beach next door. What more could you ask for!

Very cost-effective and suitable for families traveling by car. It only takes 5 minutes to drive to the pier. Stayed for two nights and would choose to stay here again if given the chance.

A typical American motel with a good location, just across the road is Macy's and some restaurants. There is also a drug store CVS, but unfortunately I did not buy a mask. There is a swimming pool and gym in the hotel, but the pool is small and slightly larger than the bathtub. The gym is also very small

The location is very good, the parking fee is charged, it is fun to have a fireplace, but the room is still cold! The room I lived in was upstairs, dragging my luggage upstairs, I was really tired and vomiting! Breakfast is ok!

Location is key here, we walked to the aquarium, Cannery Row, we could have walked to Pacific Grove, and we walked the other direction all the way to the Coast Guard Pier…And we walked to Schooners for dinner. Parking is $17 directly under the building, with just enough spaces for hotel guests, there’s one small elevator that services the entire inn, no breakfast/restaurant facility on site, no laundry, no coffee, but across the street is Wave Street Cafe which I highly recommend. Hope you get John when you check in, he’s professional (I had to call him a couple times before we even got there), knowledgeable, and probably the best innkeeper/check-in person we’ve come across, knew exactly what we needed. We stayed in the Wave Suite which is a 2-room suite, right next to the elevator. From the door you walk in to the first room which has 2 queens and the next room is the living room (with sofa bed) with bathroom, but there’s no door separating the living room from the bedroom. My husband had to do a zoom call late into the night because of the time difference and the kids and I were trying to sleep but we heard the entire call. I think the “family suite” has a door between the 2 rooms so that might be a better choice if you need a door separating you from the kids (for more privacy) or you from a noisy sleeper/zoom call etc. At night the outdoor fireplace pits are nice. In the morning at 4:30am we heard the trash(?) trucks beeping up the street and then down again, no fault of this hotel but bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper and you’re near the street, lot of street noise. When we stay in a new city, I like to walk around to get the vibe of the place, this place is definitely great for that, as everything “Monterey” is walkable.

The hotel is right next to the golf course. The entrance is very beautiful. It is very clean and the bed is big and comfortable. The breakfast is also very good. The breakfast service staff are diligent and friendly. The front desk gave the rooms already checked in, everything else is very good
