10/10 Excellent

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely Outstanding Stay! I recently brought my staff to Monterey for a wine event, and we stayed at the Monterey Beach Hotel. What an incredible experience from start to finish. The value for the price was exceptional, and the location simply cannot be beat. Being right on the beach made the stay feel like a mini vacation, even though we were there for business. In fact, I’ll definitely be coming back just for a getaway. The service was outstanding across the board. The front desk team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful. The bar staff was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to spend time with. Even the team members walking the property, cleaning, maintaining, and keeping everything looking beautiful, always greeted us with a smile and a friendly hello. That level of hospitality really stood out. I stayed in Room 122, and it was spectacular. The room was modern, comfortable, and exactly what I look for when traveling. One of the unexpected highlights was the evening wine tasting, which was absolutely outstanding and added a special touch to the overall experience. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay memorable. I highly recommend Monterey Beach Hotel and look forward to returning soon! — Corey Katz, Brix & Craft, Martinez, CA 🍷🌊🏨"

The Monterey Hotel

6/10 Okay

"- Great location! There are lots of restaurants, bars, and things to do within walking distance, which made getting around very easy. - valet parking was available and was a nice convenience. - the room was clean and comfortable, although a bit smaller than expected - the sour water pressure was pretty weak, which was probably my biggest complaint - amenities are somewhat limited compared to other hotels in the area - the staff was friendly, and overall the state was pleasant - despite the comments above, I would definitely stay here again if I needed a convenient place to stay in Monterey. The location is hard to be, and having so many food and drink options nearby made the stay enjoyable."
