Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved Monterrey Beach Hotel. The complimentary happy hour, and s’mores, and electric bikes were all an unreal surprise! Loved the fires at night too. Oh… I almost forgot—- the DOLPHINS! We sat on the beach and watched them flap their tails, jump about 5 feet in the air, and swim together in their pods(?). Seriously, we watched about 30 dolphins for about 2-3 hours in the late afternoon. We will fondly remember this hotel. (Only one little negative to report… outside clean up crew should be a little more attentive. There was some trash along the route to the beach that stayed there during our entire visit.). Hope we can return…"
