Nice hotel, great area to stay, when you want to go to the ocean, see Big Sur, Carmel, and Pebble Beach. Will stay there again, the staff was so helpful. The room was too warm, but when it hits 88 degrees in Monterey, that 's hot!

Thank you for your 4 star review! You are correct, with our year round moderate climate, we are not used to 88 degrees, so our in room air conditioners had to work overtime that day! I will let our staff know you complimented their helpfulness. More

Located pretty close to the Naval Post Graduate School and not too far from Downtown, everything is a short drive or long walk away. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff knew the area and gave great directions and adivce on what see etc. The resturants weren't that appealing, so we only ate breakfast in the hotel one morning... More

PRO: Outstanding location right off Highway One and a five minute drive from downtown Monterey. Super friendly staff. Free parking. Nicely-but-not lavishly appointed rooms with comfortable beds, about what you expect in this category. Many rooms have balcony with chaise chairs. Outdoor pool looks inviting. CONS: Rooms appear to be smaller than average for a Hilton Garden, twin-bed Queen room... More

We appreciated your review and reading your pro's and con's. The King rooms are more spacious than the rooms with 2 queen beds, and whenever staying with us if/when you feel a bit cramped, since all our rooms have balconies, open the sliding glass door and enjoy some fresh clean Monterey air on the balcony.

Place is still torn apart but my remodeled room was nice, smelled fresh with new TV, shower and bathroom. Beds were comfortable and clean. Seems like there may be some better hotel selections closer to the water but this is an acceptable hotel if you can't find one there at a reasonable price.

Excellent facility and staff. This is a very large and beautiful Hilton Garden Inn. I was very impressed with everything. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast cooked to order was excellent. Early bird dinner of 3 courses for around $15 was exceptional
