Very professional service. Offered free cookies in the lobby. Location overlooking beach/ bay was amazing. Sea lions were barking all day and night so we used a fan found in the room to create some white noise.

Best place to stay in Monterey California!

The Monterey Bay Inn is a spectacular oceanfront place to stay when in Monterey and adventuring around the breathtaking central California coastline. My oceanfront room was absolutely beautiful and Wildlife abounded as the area is a National Marine Sanctuary; including sea lions, sea otters, and oodles of wonderful seabirds. The location is absolutely perfect and everything is within walking distance (fisherman’s wharf, Cannery Row, Monterey Bay aquarium, San Carlos Beach, tons of restaurants and shopping). I did rent a car because I was doing the 17 mile drive and then taking the Pacific Coast highway down to see spectacular Big Sur. Parking at the Inn was super easy and plentiful at the hotel and note there is a daily parking charge. Every morning, a wonderful and free breakfast is delivered right to your room at the time you request!! This was seriously the best way to start every day. The room was modern, super clean and comfortable with cozy linens and a luxurious bathroom. There are even bathrobes. The private balconies are so peaceful and a beautiful flowering plant adds to the ambiance. There are fresh baked cookies at check-in and the lobby area has three video screens of marine life with peaceful music from the Monterey Bay aquarium. San Carlos Beach is right next to the Monterey Bay Inn and is a lovely and relaxing park setting to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather and ocean. I loved listening to the ocean waves every evening as well as the enchanting vocalizations of the sea lion colony in the area. There’s also lots of sea otters rafting together in the kelp beds, just out front of my oceanfront room. The staff are extremely warm, welcoming, professional, and helpful. Everyone gave me great suggestions and assistance each day for my adventures out along the coastline of the Monterey Peninsula and south for more adventuring on California’s Central coastline. I will definitely be staying here again for my next vacation in Monterey!

Clean comfortable hotel in a great location with friendly helpful staff.

This hotel is in a great location right on the water near fisherman’s wharf. All the staff was friendly and super helpful. The room was much larger and nicer than I expected and the room and hotel were very clean. If you chose to order breakfast (it is brought to your room you can get yogurt, hard boiled egg, a selection of baked items which changed daily, a nice selection of fresh sliced fruit and a selection of teas and coffee. The view from our balcony was exactly like the picture on the website and it was very pleasant to sit outside if the wonderful Monterey weather. The only downside was May is mating season for the sea lions and they were very vocal at night. I was used to it after the first night and it didn’t interrupt our sleep. A big plus is you are very close to the pedestrian and bike trail that runs from Sea Side up through Pacific Grove and we walked or ran every morning. We would definitely stay here again!

All around great location and experience

Large and spacious rooms. Very convenient location on the edge of Cannery Row so you are not amidst all the tourists. Convenient to walk to the aquarium as well as to the historic downtown area. Large clean rooms with quality amenities. Continental breakfast was delivered at the requested time and is more than sufficient and consists of high quality ingredients. Friendly and helpful staff - cookies are a real bonus. Highly recommend staying here.
