Reviews from Our Guests

We decided to make a last minute trip to Monterey for my wife’s birthday and to escape the smoke from the California wildfires. We usually try different hotels on repeat visits to an area so we thought we’d try the Monterey Bay Inn. That might have been a mistake because now we won’t stay anyplace else. I can’t explain enough what an enjoyable experience it was. Upon checking in we were greeted by Khayri and Adriana at the front desk. Khayri was very helpful in booking a massage for my wife while I was mesmerized by Adriana’s infectious smile. The room was great even though I spent most of my time on the balcony acting like the otter paparazzi. The hotel is a great location and easy walking distance to the aquarium or the wharf. Upon checking out I had a few questions and Merl at the front desk was very pleasant and accommodating. The staff at the Monterey Bay Inn seem more like friends than employees and I can’t wait to get back.

Quaint "room in" style continental breakfast. Clean. 5 stars has to do with location vs price

Amazing views! Complimentary breakfast is wonderful!

We spent last week at the Monterey Bay Inn and couldn't have been more pleased with our choice. Service was friendly and prompt, and the view was outstanding. We were in an ocean view room and were able to watch Sea Otters, Seals, Dolphin, and loads of sea birds right from our balcony. The binoculars in the room were a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable, and both of us really liked the continental breakfast delivered to the room each morning. Fruit, yogurt, pastries, hard boiled eggs and coffee were available, which was plenty for us. With the doors and shutters closed, we could still hear the light sound of the waves and the sea lions barking in the distance at night - but no traffic noise. We found this location to be very quiet, yet close enough to easily walk to the aquarium, tons of restaurants and Cannery Row. We would definitely stay again.

Great location overlooking the bay . Lovely breakfast on the balcony .Staff could not be more helpful. Clare & Kevin Glasgow , Scotland
