“The individually themed rooms, some evoking a safari or Tiffany's, bring a touch of personality, though some might find themselves overlooking the Marriott rather than the Merritt House's gardens. Its proximity to Monterey's historic downtown means Alvarado Street and the wharf are within easy reach, as are a few nice dining spots. Overall, it presents a comfortable, convenient, and cost-effective base for exploring the area.”
