Monterey Beach Hotel

Pros: Location was great and beach view was beautiful. Nice places to sit at the beach and they provided little kits to make smores. Front desk staff was helpful. Cons: It was very loud and noisy, I think being on the beach side made this worse, but we were awoken very late at night by loud people on the balcony and yelling outside. The room had a very dirty floor and mold on the bathroom ceiling.

This hotel was very loud. Not the cleanest place. There was a bunch of dirty laundry outside the door when we arrived at room. No cleaning service during the day when there was supposed to be cleaning. Room had sand all over floor. Water from faucet barley flowed. Very low water pressure for showers. Ocean view room had a big grey cement wall that blocked the view and a staircase. This room was a disappointment.

The room was great but the service was terrible towards the end of our stay. We requested Kate check out (12:00 pm) instead of 11 and at 11:10 housekeeping started knocking. I told her we had a late check. 5 minutes later, a hotel staffer knocked and I told him the same thing. Even told him I was waiting on my husband to come back and he proceeded to tell me, O here is is now, not knowing if the man was my husband or not. Not only was this extremely rude but it was scary. I WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN

The rooms were fine but the pictures online made it look a bit more polished than it really is. For example there was no hand towel hook by the sink. Little details were missing and the floorboards were very scuffed up. The outdoor common area is next to a public beach and some people were smoking at the hotel fire pits which was very uncomfortable. There was no staff nearby to manage this.
