Like staying at a dog kennel with screaming kids. Not restful!
Pros:

The breakfast was fresh and good.
The rooms are in desperate need of updating.
There were so many dogs we felt we were in a kennel.
They should have floors specific for dogs and families with children. We had to change rooms(floors) just to get some quiet time. First from dogs were barking all night and kids screaming up and down the halls. We reported it, but front desk was of no help. We had to speak with head of department to finally move us to a higher more quiet room. For the amount we had to pay for the room we thought we may have been compensated in some way for the horrible experience we had to endure the first night. The second and third nights were tolerable.

Cons:

The room was tired needs updating.
Too many dogs. Constant barking! Should have specific rooms for people with dogs. Other hotels we have stayed in have the first floor for dogs.
Kids running up and down halls yelling and slamming doors all night. Hotel should have some control over the noise that disturbs other guests.

Will not be staying again
Pros:

Room was big, felt safe, location was close to a lot of things we had planned on our trip

Cons:

No general parking. The view was nothing like the pictures. We payed enough money to have the view that was pictured and to be able to park. There was no room service to my knowledge either.

Great location
Pros:

The location was excellent and I was very impressed with how spacious the room was. Customer service was also outstanding, special shoutout to Ann, who helped clear up a mix-up with my invoice. She was incredibly kind, reassuring, and made sure everything was resolved smoothly, which it was. I truly appreciated her help and would happily stay here again.

Cons:

It was a bit noisy at night since they had events. But nothing that interfered with our stay. However if you’re the types that wants absolute silence you might have an issue staying here.

Disappointed.
Pros:

Nothing but the location was swell

Cons:

The breakfast was not free and wasn’t included with our reservation the staff said due to the fact we used booking.com we weren’t eligible for the free breakfast . The room was old and dirty. The windows for our city view was covered by trees and dirt. The room was falling apart and on top of that there was a disgusting mildew smell coming from the bathroom. The fact that parking is not free is insane to me and it’s not the flat fee of $39, it ended up being around $45 dollars with Tax. I can honestly say that I won’t be staying at Marriotts anymore and just Hiltons moving forward. Sincerely Disappointed.

I was not expecting to enjoy my stay in Monterey as much as I did! Amazing experience.
Pros:

I found the property to be in a perfect location for the purpose of my trip. Breakfast was included in my stay and it was AMAZING! Such a variety of different foods! All the staff that I encountered at the hotel during my stay were absolutely terrific....very friendly, gracious and accommodating.

Cons:

Met all of my expectations, but didn't appreciate the new "destination" fee that was put into place on May 1.

Estadia em ótima localização para conhecer Monterey, Pacific Groove e Carmel.
Pros:

Localização e café da manhã.

Cons:

Barulho muito desagradável no quarto de um gerador/motor ou de algo do género. Qualidade do sofá-cama. Minha filha ficou com muita dor nas costas porque o colchão era muito fino e as molas salientes. Necessidade urgente de serem substituídos os sofás ou colchões ou ambos.

Great stay at the Marriott
Pros:

This is a great Marriott. Fantastic location in Monterey. Close to Old Fisherman's Wharf. The Monterey Aquarium is walkable (but I wouldn't want to walk any farther, and I might take a break for a beverage along the way). Lots of shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity too. Felt very safe walking around.

The rooms are very comfortable. Clean and lots of counter space in the bathroom.

The elevators were kind of weird. One of the three wasn't working so getting a down elevator from the 5th floor was iffy. We had to let 3 full ones pass before being able to get into one. (After that, we just caught the Up elevators and rode them up and back down.)

The breakfast buffet was amazing. We got it free with our Marriott status otherwise it was $14. (Well worth it.) Fresh-made omelet and waffles. They had rice and gangee soup. As well as a lot of breakfast pasteries (including what seemed to be local donuts). Eggs, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash, potatoes, fresh fruit, yogurt. And great spread.

We valeted our car. It wasn't always quick to get it (up to 20 minutes) but it was pretty painless.

When we return to Monterey this is where we will unquestionably stay.

Pros:

Gutes Frühstück war inklusive. Gute Parkmöglichkeiten vor dem Hotel in Seitenstraße.

Cons:

Auf dem Flur (2. Stock)war immer ein unangehmer Geruch. Teilweise langes Warten auf den Lift. Housekeeing nur "on demand". Duschen hat viel zu schwachen Wasserdruck.
