The hotel

Ideally positioned to give you a superior experience in a great location, the Marriott Monterey holds a prestigious spot on the waterfront overlooking Monterey Bay. You’ll find that celebrated attractions, such as Big Sur and the Monterey Aqaurium, are close by, as well as galleries, boutiques, and legendary golf courses. After working up an appetite exploring the local area, head to Fin + Field to enjoy the best in local flavour (classy surroundings, fresh ingredients, and fabulous cocktails are always on the menu) or venture out to Cannery Row to experience Monterey’s premier dining and nightlife, just a short drive away. At the end of a day well spent, retreat to your classically modern room, complete with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows ideal for enjoying views of Downtown or the Bay.

Amazing customer service experience at the hotel from check in to check out! Checked in with Kelsey, who was highly professional, genuinely friendly, and fast getting us to our room. Bell service was also very fast and efficient getting our family’s bags up to our room, which was well appointed and clean. We enjoyed breakfast twice at the hotel,… Read more
Amazing customer service experience at the hotel from check in to check out! Checked in with Kelsey, who was highly professional, genuinely friendly, and fast getting us to our room. Bell service was also very fast and efficient getting our family’s bags up to our room, which was well appointed and clean. We enjoyed breakfast twice at the hotel, and the hostess and all staff really went above and beyond for our family, and provided warm service and special touches, like stuffed animals and coloring mats/crayons for the kids. The breakfasts were quite good, with a staffed omelette and waffle bar, plenty of fresh fruit, and lots more. The hotel’s location couldn’t be better! Steps from lots of restaurants and Fisherman’s Wharf, and a short drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We can’t wait to return! Read less

Marriott Bonvoy no.5 for us in this road trip! Have stayed in Monterey a couple of times before but thought we’d keep it going with Marriott as all previous hotels have been good.

Marriott Bonvoy no.5 for us in this road trip! Have stayed in Monterey a couple of times before but thought we’d keep it going with Marriott as all previous hotels have been good. I’d booked 2 double queen rooms on the app 7 floors and higher. On arrival we were given 2 rooms on the 3rd floor. We were left waiting in the queue for a while and after a long haul flight just wanted to get into our rooms. Took what we were allocated. On reflection I should have spoken up ( didn’t have the energy at the time) This evening at 10pm people are in the pool and hot tub, right below our room. We have to be up at 4am. Wouldn’t have been a problem if we’d been in the room we’d booked. Read less

Loved the location, walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf and many shops, wine tasting rooms, and restaurants. Even walkable to Trader Joe's! Check-in was seamless, I'm a travel agent and had early check-in privileges through the Luminous program.

Loved the location, walking distance to Fisherman's Wharf and many shops, wine tasting rooms, and restaurants. Even walkable to Trader Joe's! Check-in was seamless, I'm a travel agent and had early check-in privileges through the Luminous program. We received a welcome amenity of a bottle of white wine and charcuterie platter with a sweet note from the manager. Valet parking was expensive but we parked an easy block away for $24/day. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we even enjoyed complimentary a breakfast buffet for two with the Luminous perks. Just a few minor complaints from us. I did not love the dark decor of the modern rooms, especially the bathroom sink area. The lighting was atrocious and I had to relocate the portable magnifying mirror near the window to apply makeup each day. And, when taking a shower in the late afternoon, it took FOREVER for the water to warm up. I almost gave up shivering in the shower until it finally warmed after 5-7 minutes. The major complaint, which was immediately rectified, was that the front desk agent inadvertently gave a new guest our room number 515, instead of 415, and the housekeeping staff opened our door for them, completely startling us. I was impressed at the level of customer service at the Monterey Marriott. I would consider staying here again if ever in the area. Read less

Staff was great, they were able to find us a room at the last minute that would accommodate a roll away (3 women that didn't want to share beds). The roll away was very comfortable. I did park up the street at the public parking garage instead of valet, cheaper and easy.
