I had stayed here for one night last month while on business. Location is not the most convenient. When I checked-in, I was quoted a higher rate than what was booked by my company's travel dept. I had furnish proof of my reservation with the lower room rate. I have never had to do this at any other hotel during... More

My Wife and I just stayed here. The location is tucked back a bit from the hustle, but much worth it as it was very quiet. This hotel is still very close to downtown Monterey and a short 5 min drive to the aquarium and cannery row. We are Hilton Honors and the status afforded us a very nice room... More

I have always wanted to stay here during one of our frequent visits to Monterey. We finally had an opportunity to do so recently. I am not one to right reviews normally, and especially those that are less than favorable. However, I cannot let this pass. I was majorly disappointed. The reviews that said the rooms are dated are right... More

Slightly dated property, but rooms are clean and comfortable. Staff is professional and friendly; ready to recommend places to eat, etc. On-site restaurant makes cooked to order eggs, but coffee is nothing special. Not convenient to downtown or aquarium area unless you have a car. Some rooms have large balconies that overlook the pool.

Thank you fro your favorable review! Good to hear that you felt our staff is professional and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Sorry you did not like the coffee as much as the other aspects of the hotel. We serve Seattle's Best, which is a Starbucks brand that is one notch less strong than the Starbucks original. Thanks for... More

We stayed one night but would love to have stayed longer. The fresh baked biscuits that greeted us at the lobby were a great start to an excellent stay. This Hilton provided everything you would expect from a chain at this level. Rooms were very comfortable and spacious.

We were staying here for one night on the way to San Francisco. On arrival we managed to get a space easily. We dragged our cases up the stairs to reception as we had not noticed the ramp (poorly signposted) to find that we had to go back down them to go to our room (OK maybe we should have... More

Thanks for reviewing HGI Monterey. Sorry to read that you had a noisy room and had to lug your bags up stairs a couple times. We were glad you liked the room, the bed, pool view and the dinner in our restaurant. Next time in the States and in Monterey try us again, we hope to have improved signage as... More

When we booked in we asked about a AAA discount ( the online booking allows for AAA ) only to be told that it was not available, because there were no 'AAA' rooms available. How does that work??? The room overall was starting to show its age.eg: carpet and was not large by any comparison. The room we had was... More

We recently stayed here for 1 night and found the hotel to be fine. It was in a good location as long as you had a car and there is a secure car park under the hotel. There is a pool that we didn't actually use but it looked very nice and there were quite a few people using it.... More

Thank you for staying at HGI on your trip from the UK! We appreciate knowing that you would stay with us again! Perhaps on your next visit you should allocate more time on the Monterey Peninsula, there is so much to see, do, and enjoy here! Staying longer could improve your "Absolutely fine!" to "Exceptional" both for HGI as well... More
