Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside

Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside

8/10 Good
"I love an Embassy Suites for families. This one was a little miss. The toilet did not work upon arrival but they did get it fixed. The floors on the lobby near the restaurant were always sticky which is gross. The pool towels were terrible. The windows were dirty. We checked in with a party of 5 and there were 3 towels and 4 pillows. I would think if you’ve checked in with 5 for 3 nights, you would at least have 1 towel and 1 pillow per person. They did bring us more when requested. They ran out of Togo coffee cups at the breakfast buffet. Just little things that shouldn’t happen at a nice hotel. Staff were lovely. They had fences up all over the parking lot with no explanation if we could park in certain areas or not. It was a great location for all Monterey and even Carmel activities. Great for families. Just easy little fixes to make it better."
