The wait staff at the lounge/bar and the restaurant were very friendly and did a great job in making us feel special and gave us a great experience. They were the highlight of our entire stay and we highly commend the staff for their professionalism and loveliness. The staff at the front desk were also very friendly and patient with customers however, they rarely followed up on requests that couldn't be met immediately. I called 4x before arrival requesting a credit card authorization form and never received it despite being told it was on its way each time. They apologized which was nice but I needed the job done and they couldn't make it happen. Same situation applies with meeting our needs to adjust our folio expenses (which was their offer to adjust due to them having to change our room type, they offered and I accepted and appreciated their willingness to help). However, we never saw the adjustments on our folio and was told to contact the manager to see that it got done after we checked out and left the property. I contacted the manager via phone only to be able to leave a voice mail and have yet to receive a response. We enjoyed the stay and have enjoyed staying there in the past but this time around (since becoming a Marriot property?) the experience made us feel like they were either understaffed, under trained or new to hospitality. Can't say we'll be back soon.

I miss when it this place was called Monterey Tide
Check in time was 4:00pm but the lobby was full of people waiting to get into their room. I didn’t get to get a room key until 30 minutes after I checked in with the front desk! Also, the bathroom door doesn’t close all the way making it very uncomfortable for my GF and I to use the restroom.

Give us an accessible room for no reason. Therefore a lot of facilities were not usable for normal people. Poor soundproof room as well.

Missed the mark
They did some nice cosmetic updates. . . however the door to the room rattled every time the waves crashed to shore. They removed carpet from the room so now stand sticks to your feet and it was difficult to keep the sand out of the bed. Coffee stand and fridge was too small. The coffee maker is an off brand so we were not able to use the Keurig pods to make hot coco or tea. There was not a dresser to unpack our clothes from out suitcases. No water pressure in the shower. No microwave and no bathrobe. The outside seating areas where really nice, however because they were not covered when it rained they were too wet to sit on to enjoy the firepits. On the positive side they increased the seating in the lobby / common area, added a gift shop, fitness center and new bikes for rent.

This is a beautiful newly remodeled hotel. It is right on the beach with great outdoor and indoor areas to enjoy the view. If you are booking on the ocean side - you will have traffic from the outdoor hallways past your window and you will have the sound of the waves. You are that close to the beach. They hold a $250 damage deposit on each room - just be aware of that at check in.

Great hotel for the beach.
The pros: great beach location. If you like walks on the beach, this place is great. The TV in the room was excellent and the beds were comfortable. Great staff. The cons: small room with very little surfaces to put your stuff. No bathrobes or slippers. Bathroom was very small. No grab handles in the bathtub, I almost slipped a few times when taking showers. Restaurant food was okay, nothing special. Poor signage in the corridors for the stairs.

The hotel has gone under construction and looks and feels great. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The only delay we had was upon checking in, we arrived early and checked in 10mins before our scheduled check in and our room wasn’t ready until 40mins after. The view was definitely worth the wait and the private ocean view was amazing!
