Reviews from Our Guests

This was our best hotel experience we’ve ever had in Monterey. We loved everything about this hotel and the staff were wonderful and helpful. We will be repeat customers from now on!

Incredible view, room and staff. Location

Hotel acolhedor.

Location, Location, location. Need I say more? Quite and clan at a reasonable price. Breakfast served in room every morning. A true breath of fresh air when it comes to service. I would personally recommend!

Great location. The room was very nice.

My wife and I stayed at the Monterey Bay Inn for two nights in mid-July 2026, and it was easily one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had. We stayed in a fourth-floor harbor/ocean view room, and the view was absolutely incredible. From our balcony we could watch wildlife, the beach, boats coming and going, and the beautiful Monterey Bay. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better view. One thing worth mentioning is that the rooms do not have air conditioning. For us, that wasn’t an issue at all because the coastal breeze was perfect, and we kept the balcony door open most of the time. That said, if you’re a very light sleeper, the fountain below and the sounds of the ocean can be fairly noticeable at night. One of our favorite parts of the stay was waking up each morning to breakfast delivered right to our room. We’re not fancy people, but enjoying the included breakfast on our balcony while watching the bay come to life was one of the highlights of our trip. The room itself is a little older, but it was very well maintained. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the spacious bathroom with the large double vanity was a great bonus. The location was excellent. It’s a little farther from the busiest part of Cannery Row, but that actually made it feel quieter while still being within easy walking distance. We could walk about 10 minutes north to the restaurants and aquarium or about 10 minutes south to Old Fisherman’s Wharf. For the price compared to many of the other oceanfront hotels closer to the aquarium, we felt this was an outstanding value. During our stay we relaxed on the balcony, went whale watching, visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and took several walks along Cannery Row. It was the perfect home base for exploring Monterey. I would highly recommend the Monterey Bay Inn to anyone looking for an oceanfront stay. It’s certainly not inexpensive, but for Monterey, it’s an excellent value if you want a balcony overlooking the bay. We would absolutely stay here again.

Excellent front desk service, a comfortable bed, and a very clean room with a great view

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights. We had an excellent time at the Inn for your wedding anniversary. Thanks to Michelle. Congratulations for her well deserved promotion! Thanks to all the fantastic day & night staff they're the best, that is why we keep coming back. P.S. Love the new balconies.
