Best rate guaranteed · free cancellation on most rooms
The property was refreshed and rebranded under the Tribute Portfolio flag, keeping its strongest asset (the beachfront) while updating the rooms and restaurants. Its location along the dunes means wide, uncrowded sand on most days, with views across the bay that few downtown hotels can match.
Room craft: pay for an ocean-view room or suite; the difference is the whole point of staying here. Higher floors give a broader sweep of the bay. Reserve a table at The Lantern Room for a sunset meal, and join the evening bonfire at least once.
Practicals: 2600 Sand Dunes Drive, Monterey, just off Highway 1 and about 3 miles from Monterey Regional Airport. Daily parking fee; no airport shuttle. Pets up to a size limit allowed with fees. Fit: couples, families and beach lovers.

Is the Monterey Beach Hotel the same as Monterey Tides?
Yes. The beachfront property formerly known as Monterey Tides now operates as Monterey Beach Hotel, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, part of Marriott.

It is a long walk; most guests drive a few minutes or bike along the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail. The hotel trades central location for a true beachfront setting.
Is there a parking fee?
Yes, on-site parking carries a daily charge, and there is no airport shuttle. Monterey Regional Airport is about 3 miles away.
