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.
