We paid for one of the best rooms with a sea view and were instead provided with a TREE view- our room looked straight out into a tree right outside our room which obliterated our so-called sea view and made our room look dark and gloomy inside. When I spoke to hotel management, they said there was nothing they could do because I had booked through Expedia !!! This room cost us a fortune (being one of their best rooms) a night and apart from being misled in terms of what we were getting, the hotel itself is tired and run down. They provided us with the bare minimum and even the toilet paper was the lowest possible grade. Pool area and bar felt very downmarket and depressing. The hotel is also located in a down-market area of town. The only redeeming quality was that some of the staff were efficient and friendly. Otherwise I would advise you to avoid this hotel at all costs especially since they were so unwilling to help rectify things because we had booked through Expedia.

Was looking for a hotel with character, nice beach view, and a gym. Found this location and booked a king bed room with ocean view balcony. This was our 28th anniversary weekend so wanted to stay at a decent place. Easy and quick check in…but was very disappointed at the room. It was tiny…you can’t even open the dresser door wide open because the door hits the bed. There was no counter space in the bathroom…and we really didn’t have a nice ocean view room like the Internet. Balcony over looks the noisy pool and to the side, you can see little bit of ocean through bunch of trees and buildings. Paid all these extra fees for this room And it was not worth it. View is poor…and the room was TINY. Don’t think we will stay here again in the future.

Disappointing Experience I paid a premium price for a room that fell short of expectations. The room had a persistent unpleasant odor, and the lack of windows made it feel like a box. Although the staff was polite, they didn't offer a solution to the issues. Given the price, I expected better. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this property to others at this rates.

Great location and staff, minor issues with the property. Had a roof leak in our room occur, found hours after we had checked in. Was told they could not offer us an ocean view room as a replacement as we reserved and was only offered 5000 Hyatt points in consolation (not even equivalent to the valet fees) once we decided to stay in the room. They didn’t even provide fresh towels after we had used them to clean up the water due to one of us slipping in it. Definitely unfortunate but overall had a good time with our family that we had convinced to stay there for Mother’s Day weekend as a fun way to get together. But definitely disappointed in the over all situation, and wish it would have been handled better.

It is a nice property, but our stopper in the tub wouldn’t close. Our room was on the first floor and the people above were walking around at 2 am and woke us up. Lots of doors slamming as well. The room was okay, had low ceilings and felt cavernous.

Concerns this visit - but will be back

We love the Mar Monte and have stayed here 12 or more times over the past 5 years. This visit - Our room smelled mildewy and musty. This was concerning. Heater made a lot of noise. We confidentially shared our concerns with front desk staff that this room needs work and should likely not be utilized to guests in this condition. We were instructed to provide this input in review and follow up with Director of Rooms, Danielle Shear, as we re doing.

The property had everything we needed for our stay as a family. The rooms are ok but not every room comes with a balcony or an ocean view which we were a little disappointed about. Also the phone in the room was not connected so when I needed to call the front desk I had to walk to them as no one was available when I called using the posted phone number from my cell phone.
