Perfect hotel to stay if you are doing the Big Sur Marathon! A few steps from the Expo and transportation to the start line is a block away. It is centrally located and much of the activity in Monterey can be done at walking distance. Friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are good looking, comfortable, and clean, but bathrooms need to...

Our room was well kept and tidy. The bed was extremely comfortable. I wouldn't say that I would stay here again, because it lacks character, but it's worth it if you're into touristy stuff.

Great location for runners. Close to expo center and provide transport to race start. Staff was excellent with smiles and very helpful with an early check in and request for flowers delivered to the room. Bathroom shower not clean :( 3rd floor ice maker broken. $20.00 per day for parking is out of line on top of the $280.00 per... More

Nothing special and no character. It's your average Marriott -- but, with long waits for the elevator. You can do much better if you plan to send time in Monterey

I stayed here on business for two nights this week and had a really pleasant stay. I had a late flight into Monterey but the front desk staffer was friendly and made an effort to find me the best room she had avaialble even though I didn't ask. I had paid an extra $20 per night to book a "bay... More

We had two free nights or probably wouldn't have paid the price to stay here. But, it is a very nice hotel, not too far from anything. We walked to the aquarium. Breakfast buffet was great. Rooms were clean and quiet. People were great.

Stayed at the Monterey Marriott for a two nights. I love Marriott's in general and this one lived up to my expectations. It's in a great location for a visit to Monterey. You're within walking distance to the pier, shopping and great places to eat. I don't understand the complaints of a cramped room. We had a king room with... More

Marriott needs to shut this place down and redo it to travellers requirements for the 21st century. It is overpriced for what you get. The elevators are totally inadequate. The rooms are small and cramped and the overall ambience is tired. The staff are pleasant, as one would expect from any Marriott, but not enough to draw me back. The... More

i don't know what the complaints are about - full disclosure: i stayed here during a conference, so i did not pay a dime; however, the 2nd floor (a.k.a., not a "renovated" floor) is just fine. i have a "city view" but meh, i'm not here for the scenery. the king sized bed has SIX pillows! to top it off,...
