    Delicious salad with fresh radishes & greens
    Judie H.

    Centrally located in downtown Monterey with underground (and valet) parking, but close enough to walk to Pacific Grove & Cannery Row. There is some street parking, but it's limited. Clean & modern decor in an historical building. True to the Marriott branding model and managed by Bonvoy. Food is always good, especially the breakfast buffet with ample offerings for all tastebuds. Restaurant is a bit noisy due to the type of furniture & flooring, but room service is an option for guests. For locals, we love the weekend buffet!! Staff is always nice & helpful. The top floor has a lovely event space with Bay & harbor views that include the Santa Lucia Mountain Range. Banquet food is meh... pretty presentation, but definitely prepared by a cook and not a chef. Beware the vegan/veg options as the cook just coats them in spices to mask the lack of cooking experience. Opt for the fish cuz it's Monterey. The hotel is next to the Conference Center, so it's convenient for event attendance. Also, Marriott caters all meals & snacks at the Conference Center.

    I was left scrambling for a hotel room when my prior arrangements fell through. I was able to get a room at the Marriott hotel in downtown Monterey. Not going to soft sell this, the price was well ... pricey. But the customer service was excellent and the room was what was expected at that price. The hotel is quite large with its meandering hallways and circuitous stairwells. Even the lobby gave off airport terminal vastness vibes. The interior public spaces and hotel room were beautifully decorated and designed giving off a modern metro feel. They have a restaurant onsite serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The swimming pool was outside with the hotel rooms surrounding all four sides of it. So if you are looking for some peace and quiet, you might not want to book the rooms around the pool area. Parking is on site is an additional fee and is valet only. It's an unground parking lot. They have electric chargers but there are a limited number of them and there is no guarantee they'll be available when you need them. The valets were all super helpful and efficient. There are other non Marriott local parking options. For an additional fee, dogs are allowed with the hotel guests.But not sure if there are any green spaces for them to do their business. I saw a dog relieving himself out front on the sidewalk. Overall more pros than cons and definitely a solid hotel portion in Monterey if this falls into your budget.

    The outside of this hotel looks dated and not particularly nice. The inside has been nicely renovated. The pool and gym and both nice here. My only issue was that the bathroom door in the room is a glass pocket door, which does not offer enough privacy for my tastes.

    Solid hotel in downtown, conveniently connected by a walkway to the Monterey Conference Center across the street. My stay was pleasant, with clean and well appointed rooms appropriate for a business trip, and reasonable prices (below $600 for two nights after fees and taxes). They have a restaurant on site with excellent food, and valet parking is $39 a night, though I self-parked at a city lot two blocks away for $12 per night. Happy to return.

    Beautiful modern hotel, clean room and impeccable customer service. Valet only. Ive been parking in the street even though the valet already paid by my employer. I just don't like waiting for the car and I rarely carrying cash for tips. Very minimum room amenities, only soap, lotion, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, in which the shampoo was empty when we arrived. When I requested extra towels, creamers, Coffees, blanket, and microwave, they came bringing it quickly. Heated outdoor swimming pool in which very nice. Working hot tub. Only one. Some hotels this big have more than one hot tub. Restrooms for swimming pools accessible inside the building, in which you would need a key to go back to the pool area. Restroom have one stall of restroom and one stall for showering. Gym was decent size, overlooking the hot tub/ swimming pools. Breakfast can be buffet or a la carte. Buffet $35 per adult and $15 kids 12 and under. No coffee provided in the lobby, but available for purchase. Breakfast buffet is full buffet (pastries, omelette station, oatmeal, cereals, fruits, bacon, sausage, chorizo, steam rice, "congee" (was more mushed rice with soup). All drinks have to be served by the waitress. For almost $300 a night (some rates were more than $400), I just thought breakfast and coffee should be included, just like the other Marriott chain. Most of the time I just need 2 toasts and two cups of coffees, so at least those simple perks, I think, was very basic, and should be necessity. Mobile key was on and off, sometime worked, sometimes the "unlock door" option was missing from the app and had to re request in which a hassle. This was a big difference with Hilton and Marriott and often played a big role in me choosing lodging. I am member for both, and I often chose the other one because of the flexibility choosing my own room through the app prior to arriving, consistent mobile key function, evening reception and breakfast (I tend to ALWAYS lose the physical room key anyway, so mobile key function worked amazingly for me). Another thing too, with the other brand, I usually didn't have to stop by front desk when checking in, which was so helpful after a long travel. This Marriott next to the Monterey Conference distance and 5 minutes walk to the Old Fisherman Grotto, in which a row of fun little shops and restaurants. You can walked along the bike path overlooking the yachts and boats, and occasionally could spot crabs, or sea lions. 9 minutes walk and you got to the Monterey Station where the beach was clean and so quiet. It was a nice stay, bed was comfortable with fluffy pillows, but for next work function/ pleasure visit, I would choose another Marriott that offers self parking with simple breakfast included.

    The hospitality is always great at a Marriott property and Monterey Marriott is no exception. I stayed here for a three day conference. The room was very spacious and clean. The sheets were silky soft. Our only complaint was that the pillows were too squishy and offered zero support. They asked on check in if we wanted housekeeping daily or if we wanted to forego it. I think this is the norm now, post COVID. Meeting room facilities were average, but what really stood out was the food! Breakfast, lunch and snacks were really good! My coworkers and I have never thought that even at some of the swankiest hotels we've been to at this particular annual conference that changes venues every year. There's a complimentary trolly that will take you around the area from 10am-6pm. Valet is a hefty $39/night. EV charging is not guaranteed, slow at 10kw/hr, and there's only two chargers available. We used my car once over our three night stay so the charging ended up not being an issue.

    Gym (what's left of it)
    Christine A.

    I have always given this hotel 5 stars, but I think I may have been blinded by the room upgrades I received. The non upgrade rooms seem to need some TLC. The gym has always been my biggest complaint and it's even worse now. Half of the dumbbells have disappeared. Please knock out another room and make the gym double the space. They dramatically increase the room rate during conferences. Over $400 a night this week. Next week (during thanksgiving) just over $200 a night. Ridiculous.

    Christine W.

    Was in Monterey for a wedding and this hotel was a decent walk to the venue. Got a room with a bay view and def didnt disappoint. The valet was great, check in was on point even though we had to wait for our room. They gave us a voucher to wait at the bar and we enjoyed that. The only thing that was a challenge was that we weren't made aware that housekeeping service was upon request only. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

The 3-4 months leading up to the day left us feeling unsure of who our day-of Event Manager would be and insecure in our communication with the venue. I was very close to hiring my own day-of coordinator after doing all of the planning myself, but ultimately decided to have faith in the Events by Classic team. Luckily, Susan was our day-of Event Manager and ended up staying with us the entire day. She did a great job executing the decor, managing vendors, and making our day as smooth as possible. The event staff were friendly, kind, and very attentive and the food was fantastic! Many of our guests commented on how good the food was. All in all, we are happy we had our wedding here!

We had an intimate group of 34 which felt perfect at The Perry House (though they can certainly accommodate much larger groups than ours). The venue itself has so much coastal charm already that you don't feel overwhelmed with needing to infuse a lot of personality through decor. At the same time, it can still be transformed with florals and any additional decor elements. It was truly the best of both worlds. Our venue provided coordinator Alyssa was fantastic to work with! She answered so many of our questions and was always quick to respond over email. The catering provided by the venue was phenomenal and all of our guests raved about the food. We went with the New York steak and tarragon crusted salmon as our entrees and they were even better than we remembered at our tasting. Since we had a small guest count we even got to add on a slew of extra desserts to reach our food and beverage minimum and additional decor/rental items which was great because it felt like every dollar went towards something. They were even accommodating to our specific signature cocktail requests which were off-menu and our specific NA beer requests. Everything the day of the wedding went smoothly and without a hitch. We cannot recommend The Perry House enough to anyone looking for a charming, Monterey wedding.

From the moment you begin planning until the last guest leaves the dance floor, Rhett and his family are incredibly hands-on, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your event a success. It's truly a family affair, with Rhett, his wife, son, and daughter all pitching in to make everything feel seamless. One of the things that sets Wave Street Studios apart is how effortlessly the space transforms throughout the evening. Our guests enjoyed dinner, then the room transitioned beautifully into a lively dance floor without missing a beat. The lighting, technology, and overall atmosphere create a magical experience that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Rhett also coordinated seamlessly with one of their preferred catering partners, Fire on Wheels Pizza, who not only served fantastic food but even created a custom signature mocktail just for our event. It was such a thoughtful touch that our guests loved. Hosting a nonprofit gala requires countless moving pieces, and having a venue partner who anticipates needs, solves problems before they arise, and truly cares is invaluable. Wave Street Studios does exactly that. Add in the tremendous value for everything that's included, and it's hard to imagine a better event venue on the Monterey Peninsula. What we especially love is that it doesn't feel like another generic hotel ballroom. The space has personality, warmth, and a sense of place that made our guests feel like they were part of something truly special. It created an experience--not just an event. If you're looking for a unique venue for a fundraiser, wedding, corporate event, or celebration, I can't recommend Wave Street Studios highly enough. We look forward to coming back again.

Be very firm with how you want things (even condiments) presented.
