The location was easy to access and quiet. The hotel was clean, offered free parking and breakfast. What we really enjoyed was the layout of the hotel room. The sitting area was spacious, there were TV's in both areas and a coffee area with both a microwave and refrigerator. We will stay here again!

Great place to stay. Not far from the boardwalk or Monterey. The only complaint I have is, the front desk kept saying they are short staffed. Our room wasn’t ready to due to being short staffed. I asked housekeeping for new sets of towels. She said to me that my room was not on her list for service. I go to the lobby, ask for the towels…short staffed. I understand, you’re short staffed but all I asked for were towels and empty trash cans. I would stay here again.

We arrived after 5p to check in to our hotel after a 5 hour drive to the location. There were 3 families ahead of us and they did not have rooms ready for any of us because NO ONE WAS SCHEDULED TO WORK. There was a young man at the desk, letting us know that 30 rooms would bot be cleaned and so he would be sending us to another Marriott location- 25 minutes from where we were. We had booked this particular location because it is walking distance to our family. He originally offered to lower the price and put us in the queen room that was ready, then a call to his manager was an “upgrade” to a “better” room which was simply handicapped and the balcony does not have any furniture on it so it is useless. Although we felt for the young man who was doing his best, his manager abandoned him and only 2 cleaning people were working. He said this was not the first time this has happened. It was very stressful and by using expedia, there was nothing he could do. Expedia was unavailable at that time on our end too so we couldn’t get any customer service. Terrible experience.

For a reasonably priced hotel, this one was awesome. Everything was clean, the room spacious & quiet. The breakfast buffet was much more than I expected, with numerous choices. The staff was very friendly and customer oriented. My only need now is for the hotel to send me a copy of the invoice, all I rec'd is a statement showing a 0 balance. I need a copy of charges. Other than that, I would highly recommend this wonderful hotel.
