Monterey Tides

Needs work but nice location

Right on the beach

Pool towel had mild stains, chipped paint throughout, first room they put me in was an absolute dark hole with no view, second room was better but small. This hotel was made over but very cheaply.

Not as expected!

The lobby

Rooms are not nice at all. The pictures on the website are deceiving. The cleanliness is really awful. When we told all this to the manager, he tried switching us to a different room but we didn't accept as it was exactly the same. At that point the manager told us that we shouldn't expect more from a 3-star hotel. So if you care about your room being clean, and overpaying for an upscale motel, then avoid this hotel.

Aging again, budget friendly, no surprises.

Even with a nice veneer, the age of this once run down motel is starting to show through again. Small rooms and an odor from the sewer system. You get what you pay for. Service, usually good, was halting on this visit.

Restaurant Staff

Terrible wait staff. It was almost like we were inconveniencing them. After we order we don't see them again until the check.
