Dead seal outside our room the whole trip and the hotel management didn’t do anything about it. Smelled of rotting carcass the whole time. Hotel said they called animal control and they stated it’s “part of nature”, yes, but the hotel guests pay ALOT of money to stay there, the HOTEL MANAGEMENT should have made a healthy, clean environment for our beach stay. ESPECIALLY when your guest pay extra for that beach access. Very disappointed. Was there for 5 days and the seal showed up on day 2. Management was not respectful of the money spent by their guest to have the beach access. Very disappointed about that. Two drinks at the bar were $28 dollars!! Should have a “no kids” hours at the pool and hot tub for the adults who are vacationing without kids. Was never able to use the hot tub due to kids being in it the whole time. The furniture on the decks need upgrading. Maybe some high top tables with chairs, so you can see the beach? They are too low to even sit in and actually look out at the beach.
Disappointed that I spent $1800 on a vacation package and I had to spend an extra $35 A DAY for resort fees. Overall, hotel overpriced for the services. Bed was almost inverted for use. Needs upgrades bad!! Views were beautiful though!
Also, Monterey Tides may want to let people know when they book the first floor for direct access to the beach, that they will be under the bar! You can hear every single step made. Was so thankful they closed at 10pm. Will stay elsewhere next.
