Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good
"Rooms are very loud. The side facing the highway gets traffic noise, and the side facing the beach gets the waves. It wouldn't be so bad if the windows were more soundproof. Speaking of windows, and window coverings, the see-through blinds don't give much privacy. At night with the light on one can see into the rooms completely, not to mention the light from the walkways shines right into the room. Be prepared for ants on countertops in the morning. Two separate rooms had the same issue. The food at the restaurant is superb, fresh ingredients and well prepared. Although delicious, a bit on the pricey side for relatively small portions."
