Loved everything about it. Right next to the beach they have little bonfire pits on the beach and have awesome fire pits with comfortable couches facing the beach. We saw dolphins really near the shore. Staff was amazing and the wine included with the room I had gotten was awesome! Parking is quite fair priced. Lounge area is beautiful you can sit down, get some wine, sit down and look at the beautiful scenery through the big glass windows they have in the lobby.

The property is extremely nice and the staff is really nice the only thing I was not expecting is the parking charges they don’t tell you on Expedia it says no hidden fees however they charge you 51 dollars to park there although you are paying to stay there that seems really odd to me and left a bad taste honestly 150 extra charges for parking the 3 days we stayed all while paying 475 a night! Outrageous

5 STARS..... I absolutely loved this place. The rooms are clean, and the beds were comfortable, grounds are well kept. The staff was amazing I was able to communicate via text, and all my wishes were met quickly . I had the opportunity to visit the bar with complementary wine card they gave us when we got there, it was a birthday trip, and after a long day at the aquarium, it was welcomed . They even have smores service ,nice touch. Such a nice and relaxed atmosphere the bartender was very helpful with questions I had. I also was able to have a delicious breakfast in the hotel restaurant I had pancakes verry good, then I was entertained by dolphins passing by, and my server was great. Yes it is expensive and you have to pay for parking but can you really put a price on a wonderful experience? I also like its not to close to the to the Chaos of downtown but close enough to get there in few minutes and its dog friendly with immediate entrance to the beach. I highly recommend would absolutely do it again. Thank you Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute portfolio Hotel, for making our stay a joyful experience, I cant say enough Just thank you, from all of us!

Young adults were drinking and talking quite loud outside of our room (104) late into the night. I don't think they were staying at the hotel, just came up from the beach area to sit on the chairs on the deck out front of our area. It made it very hard to get a good night rest.

Good location and remodeled but so many extra hidden fees. They charge tax on parking fees and amenity fee. Parking is 45 dollars + tax per night and Amenity fee is 25 dollars per night plus tax I’ve been to many places but I think it’s my first time to see the taxes on parking fee and amenity fees
