We were very pleased with our room at the Ramada in Marina. The hotels in Monterey were a little out of our price range, so I was happy to find this hotel nearby for a much lower price. We booked 2 rooms - one King and one Queen/Queen. We arrived a few hours before the scheduled check-in time, and they let us check-in early with no problems. Both rooms were spacious. My husband and I stayed in the King room, which included a nice sitting area with it's own TV. The TV by the bed also had a DVD player. The continental breakfast was pretty generous, including make-your-own waffles. The hotel was clean and nice. No complaints at all.

I booked 10 rooms at the Ramada Inn Marina for a girls softball team. The service was terrible! We checked in early and then went to the game. When we got back I bathed my two small children and realized I only had 2 towels. I called the front desk to ask for more towels (for all 3 of my personal rooms) and the clerk said I would have to come down to get them. While downstairs I asked if the sofa sleepers had sheets and the clerk said they were made up. I again went up to my room and pulled out the sofa to find, no sheets. I called down again, very irritated and this time amazingly the clerk brought the sheets up. The breakfast was minimal. My King Suite was very large, just not totally clean. We will not be staying here again!

We visit Monterey frequently we enjoy the area not to mention the aquarium. We live 2 hours away so we visit once a month for a day trip (we are members of the aquarium). Once in awhile we stay for 2 or 3 days. We have stayed at 4 different hotels prior to this and have been happy with only 1.5 of them, (I say .5 because we stayed at the Hyatt for one night and it happened to be the night a transformer blew out and we sat in the dark for several hours in Dec of 2006, but the hotel was great and the breakfast buffet was incredible).

Our most recent trip was in February, President's Day weekend. This trip was really a last minute thing, we called the Ramada in Marina at 3pm and booked a room for the night. By the time we arrived after packing and driving it was 8pm. The hotel was great, ts away. The room itself was HUGE, it had a king bed, a couch which he lobby was clean and inviting, there was an elevator and a luggage cart for guest use. We were in room 311. When we walked in it blew uwe later found out was a sofa bed, a fridge, a microwave, closet area, two televisions, a table with two chairs and still had a huge open space. The bathroom even had a jacuzzi tub. This was a standard room, not a suite. My 3 year old son fell in love with the room and even my husband said we are staying here again. They also offer a free continental breakfast which is usually some lame muffin or mini danish and juice. Not Ramada, they did have these things, but they also had a waffle iron available for use with pre-poured portions of batter in cups for you to make your own waffle. We paid about $130 for the room, it was a bit more after taxes and such, but very reasonable considering it was President's Day weekend and there was some bike expo going on. We are visiting again in March and already have our reservation at this hotel. We booked a standard king again for $80 per night.

We booked our room on expedia and the room advertised having a "in-room jacuzzi" but we went up to the room and saw the "jacuzzi" it was half the size of my home bathtub with two tiny jets. Pathetic attempt for a "jacuzzi". When we went down to ask for a refund due to false advertising, the front desk was exteremely difficult and rude. In the end, after 2 hours of arguing, we left to find another hotel. He told me if he sold the room for the night, we wouldnt be charged. Of course we were charged. I attempted to call the manager (who of course was NEVER in) mutiple times and left numerous messages, never to get a reply. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO ANYONE!!
