The hotel

It's nice to be able to relax in the spacious comfort of your two-room suite, but the complimentary hot breakfast buffet and made-to-order omelette station will help get you out and set up for the day. At the Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside, you are a couple of blocks from the beach and just two miles north of Downtown Monterey. There are lots of attractions and activities along the Bay too, such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium or Steinbeck Museum, or head out in the car for 20 minutes or so for a bit of hiking, winery action or spa treats. The hotel’s 2-hour evening reception with complimentary cocktails and snacks is a great way to kick-off your evening. The Silver Tide Bar & Grill is in the atrium too, so why not drop in afterwards for some local California cuisine?

All things considered, a nice place to stay. Recently remodeled. Covid issues addressed, including a somewhat limited breakfast that does include hot items. Pleasant staff, extremely responsive to a couple minor requests we made. We have stayed here in the past, and will likely stay here again.

Pleasant staff, extremely responsive to a couple minor requests we made. We have stayed here in the past, and will likely stay here again. It's the best Hilton family member in the Monterey area...we have stayed in all 3. The main thing holding back a 5 star rating? The $15 parking fee. Just dumb. Not sure how they justify it. Read less

Very dissatisfied with the management of this specific embassy suites. There was no hot water in our suite when we arrived and proceeded to called the front desk. They refused to change our room and sent a person to fix the problem. A man entered our room during covid to attempt to fix the hot water situation. After almost 45 min in our room he said the shower was hot and we had hot water now. After he left we attempted to shower and the water was still cold. As diamond members I feel this is completely unsatisfactory and not a professional manner in treating customers, especially diamond members. Upon checking out we told the front desk about our situation and they did absolutely nothing to rectify the situation. Then around 1pm that day I received a text message asking when we were checking out after already talking to the front desk at 7am. We had left early to go to a hotel with hot water and take a shower there. During the covid pandemic I would expect they would take notice if a room had hot water when cleaning. I would not recommend staying here during covid. Read less

3.5 stars but rounding up to 4 because we got a great rate and I know the hospitality industry is struggling due to COVID. The good: nice room, very clean, free hot breakfast, quick check-in and check out, nice lobby and renovated rooms The bad: uncomfortable bed and noise from room above.

3.5 stars but rounding up to 4 because we got a great rate and I know the hospitality industry is struggling due to COVID. The good: nice room, very clean, free hot breakfast, quick check-in and check out, nice lobby and renovated rooms The bad: uncomfortable bed and noise from room above. Not a nice view (we were in room 404 and had a view of the highway). Loud road noise especially on Friday night. Loud and random knocking super late into the night/doors slamming. Not a quiet hotel for a sleeping baby. One thing that really bothered us was the trash situation. Everything is to-go/take out nowadays and the hotel trash cans in the room are tiny and they don't provide extra bags. We also had diapers to dispose of and with no daily housekeeping because of COVID, the trash built up fast. Some guests put their trash in the large bins near the vending/ice but they were overflowing! We called guest services to have housekeeping pick up trash outside of our door but the guest services number was often busy (they asked us to hold and once never came back). If they could deal with the noise and trash, I would recommend but as is, I wouldn't recommend if traveling with a baby or wanting a good night's sleep. I also joined Hilton Honors before booking and can't say we got any perks because of that status. Read less

Decided to venturing out during Covid and stayed and the Embassy. The rooms were smaller than other Embassy hotels I have been too but that would be the only thing I could say I didn’t like.

Decided to venturing out during Covid and stayed and the Embassy. The rooms were smaller than other Embassy hotels I have been too but that would be the only thing I could say I didn’t like. Wouldn’t stop be me from coming back to great customer service and patience with everyone during this Covid season. Great service and super clean through out room and hotel. Loved how they limited the amount in their pool which protects ourselves but also gives us privacy for our family. Thank you Embassy employees for all you do. We see you and thank you!! Read less
