Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside
Everything was really nice. Staff was accommodating and all. Only thing is the AC in our room wouldn’t work properly even after the engineer went to fix it. I sleep hot and the room was at 78 when we were trying to at least get it to go to 69-70. But everything else was perfect.

The Americana Village
Everything was good and wife really liked the amenities. I felt the breakfast could have been better. It is just a basic breakfast - bread, donuts, hard boiled eggs.
