Seaside’s refreshed Embassy Suites
From the eye-popping digital aquarium in the lobby to the soothing palette of sand and blue tones, the Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay evokes the feel of the sun-kissed seashore, which is just a few blocks away. A recent multimillion-dollar renovation has refreshed this 225-suite hotel with clean lines, a breezy open-air feel and turquoise touches. The complimentary breakfast, happy hour snacks and in-room kitchen also go a long way to making kids feel at home. ROOMS: Natural materials like stone and wood capture the ambiance of the coastal region. A light and bright atmosphere highlights the rooms, some of which come with magnificent coastline views. Rooms are on the small side but those vistas give it a sense of space.
SPLASHES: Bathrooms are modern and sleek with a calming spa-like decor. There’s also an indoor pool that appeals to kiddos.
EXTRAS: You can start your day with a complimentary made-to-order breakfast and punctuate it with happy hour sips and snacks.
DETAILS: Rooms start at $199. 1441 Canyon Del Rey Blvd., Seaside; embassysuites3.hilton.com.
