The hotel

With this hotel offering two-room suites all round, it's tempting to stay in and relax for longer, 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, with lots of attractions and activities along the Bay too, such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium or Steinbeck Museum. Alternatively, 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?

After staying here several times, here is my story. If you have a family, work hard, and pay your taxes, I implore you to read my review. Today was the day after Thanksgiving. Usually I book a room here as I have done every year right around this time and the holidays. For some reason, I accidentally booked 2 nights for my family of 4 through an agency instead of the hotel directly. I cancelled that reservation immediately (less than 30 minutes after booking it) so that I could book directly with the hotel instead. The hotel (not the agency) - this is Jackie (manager who never returned my calls), Cheryl, Jasmine, and Jennifer insisted that I be charged 1 night penalty for my mistake - $201 to be exact. I was shocked. This is the fee I am charged by the hotel (not the agency) for cancelling my booking to book the EXACT same dates directly with the hotel? Fine. I asked if I could use that 1 night penalty for the same dates and pay for another night directly with the hotel. They refused. I asked if I can reinstate my reservation (the original one) after just a couple of hours of cancelling it. They refused. And so here I am, an honest loyal customer treated like garbage. Should I be surprised? I mean, I suppose when I look at empathy in society these days, I probably shouldn't - you are not treated like a customer or even human, you're just a nuisance and noise. I'm so sad and so hurt that I was punished in this way. No sorry, no I understand. All I got was "you booked with a third party" and this is our policy, sir. You want to charge me a penalty? Fine. Let me use the night you charged. Nope. Let me book another night with you directly and keep the first night as credit. Nope. Kindness and hospitality go a long way. Losing $200 won't make me rich nor will it make me poor - but feeling wronged in this way is just terrible. If you're a hard working family person. If you pay your taxes. If you have a family and save for the holidays, the free breakfast and the location of this hotel are not worth the shame and punishment they give for a loyal customer. R.B. Read less

This hotel is 10 minutes from the most popular spots, Cannery Row, Old Fisherman's Wharf, the Aquarium, the butterfly sanctuary, and the 17 Mile Dr. It is 1/2 mile from the beach and they have chairs and towels to take with you. Carmel by the Sea is 20 minutes away. There are a couple of fun family things to do 10 minutes away, the Dennis the Menace Playground and the MY Children's Museum. They have bicycles to rent and a bike riding path across the street. There is a Chili's Restaurant in the parking lot and others close by. Their pool is indoors so can be used year around. The hotel has a restaurant on site but it doesn't open until 5:00. They have a great menu with food choices of salads, sandwiches, and full dinner items. There is a full bar. The hotel offers a full free breakfast and a free Happy Hour reception. The hotel is very quiet. We were right at the elevator and didn't hear a sound. It has a nice gift/sundry store and computers to check in for flights and print boarding passes. The airport is about 10 minutes away also. It is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

We had a comfortable stay here in August. It's conveniently located and close to Cannery Row. There are walking paths by the beach and seaside activities to do.

We had a comfortable stay here in August. It's conveniently located and close to Cannery Row. There are walking paths by the beach and seaside activities to do. I, personally, had to do some shopping, and I found all of the stores I like within a 10 minute drive. Cannery Row is really cool...lots of shops, eateries, things for kids to do. Also, an easy drive to Santa Cruz minus a bit of traffic. We paid $100 more than we usually do at a Embassy Suites due to the location, but having a suite and free breakfast was worth it. Read less
Image of the Tripadvisor rating OK lots of fees and extra charges.. destination fee , parking even though people are out there living in their cars.

Tweekers in parking lot ,homeless living in their cars.. fees like destination fees . Breakfast is good. Parking 20 bucks a night if you have a car.. just not a wonderful area, you would be better by the beach.. Hotel is OK and mostly quiet on non street side
