The hallways aren't the nicest but the rooms are beautiful so dont judge the outside. The location is amazing and walking distance to aquarium, wharf and more. Theres a beach right next door and the rooftop hot tub is amazing. Love it here! Michelle was so helpful and incredibly nice! Can't wait to come back!

Location is excellent. Walking distance to the USCG pier where I always find sea otters to photograph (all the photos of the otters and the video were taken on the pier, about a 5 minute walk from the hotel). Walking distance to restaurants and even a 7-11 up the street for late night munchies. The view from the balcony with the sounds of the Pacific were enough reason to leave the sliding door open with the screen closed the entire time. My only complaint was the thin ceiling. My last night there someone was walking with heavy feet for like an hour. I called the desk to complain and the noise stopped within 10 minutes and I was able to sleep. Maybe I'll ask for a room on the top floor next time. All the of the staff was friendly. They were extremely polite and eager to help. Offered me water anytime I was in the lobby!

Estuvimos allí en abril 2025. Hermoso lugar. Está cerca de todo. Excelente atención del personal y el detalle del desayuno a la habitación fue el toque distintivo. Todo muy limpio con detalles muy especiales como el largavistas disponible para el huésped. El estacionamiento era muy práctico. Tuvimos una habitación con vista parcial al muelle y al mar, una maravilla ver esos atardeceres llenos de gaviotas y los animales marinos más hermosos nadando. Absolutamente recomendable. Volveremos pronto!!

We spent a couple of days over New Year's Eve at the Monterey Bay Inn. I booked a harbor (ocean view) according to my confirmation email. Our room was a park/street view with the harbor visible if one leaned over the railing. So, we went back to the front desk. The staff could not have been nicer and moved our room to a harbor view. We were very happy with the views, the bed and the room. The hotel offers a "Pillow Menu" which was new to me- nice touch! We didn't need to change our pillows as those on the bed were lovely. The room top hot tub was lovely: clean, great views, and the perfect temperature. The included breakfast was healthy and tasty, It was so nice to have it delivered and then the tray taken away. I felt so relaxed and definitely like I was on an actual vacation. HEAVEN! Monterey is one of our happy places. We go there at least once a year. There is so much natural beauty and the community has done an outstanding job protecting their natural resources & providing access to public beaches and walking trails.

Staying in the heart of monterey Bay between fishermen's wharf and the aquarium is exactly the place. We could hear the sound of the waves was incredible.
