Reviews from Our Guests

This has become a favorite on the Monterey coast! The staff is amazing. Friendly, helpful, professional. All the amenities of the slightly more upscale Monterey Plaza, right next-door, but more intimate and less corporate feeling. Also slightly lower prices. And, their breakfast delivery service to your room is amazing. The fruit is always top-notch, and the bakery items are surprisingly fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this Monterey Bay Inn.

Considering I knew what I was getting into (price), its hard to be disappointed. So i have to give it a 5, again, based on knowing what I was getting into. Lets face it, the place was built in the 30's. So if you are expecting modern day equivalent accommodations, you might be disappointed. I didn't expect it, so I wasn't. I picked it because I wanted a view to relax upon. Location was great, damn sea lions kept me up all night as they were barking 24/7. I just chalk that up as a once in a lifetime experience as they aren't normally there in mass like this. The staff was helpful. My room was clean and I didn't notice any issues like others did. Thin walls? Again the place was built in the 30's. Surprised its still there to be honest. Hard bed? My bed at home is on the stiff side. Pillows? A bit weak, but they do give you an option for different pillows. Breakfast wasn't anything to write home about but it was nice. Parking, this is where the age of the hotel comes in. The spaces are too small for modern cars. Saw a few trucks and sedans that did not fit in their spaces, but it is what it is. I would have no issues staying here again.

Just spent this past weekend there with my wife, the rooms were good and comfortable, we had a good view of the ocean from our room, there are a bunch of sealions on the beach making noise, but the hotel will give you earplugs so you can sleep, great location walking distance to cannery row, we will stay there again thanks for the service.

Quiet, inn stunning views across the bay towards fisherman's wharf and beyond. Basic but adequate breakfast, and very pleasant and helpful staff. Love listening to sea lions from the room.

Now this place is nice. The staff is excellent. The breakfast served each morning is a treat. The fruit and pastry was different each morning. The room was great, the hot water was very hot, and the room was well stocked. The views from the room and from the upper level hot tub area are amazing. The hot tubs were each very clean. I highly recommend this establishment and will be retuning often.

Excellent service. Friendly staff with prompt delivery of continental breakfast.

The staff were ultra friendly and helpful. They treated me well and provided lots of possibilities for places to eat. I had a wonderful stay

The staff are very friendly. The view was spectacular. It was walking distance to aquarium and shopping. Generous and tasty continental breakfast.

Parking was convenient. Breakfast in the room was a plus. The upgrade in our room was an unexpected bonus. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony during Car Week and viewing the cars that passed. Staff recommendations for restaurants were spot on.

It was a very nice and well kept hotel right along the water. There was a comfortable outside balcony as well. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and nicely decorated. The shower had good water pressure.
