Reviews from Our Guests

Coming to Monterey has been a goal for many years. We chose Monterey Bay Inn because it is on the water and is a short walk to Cannery Row. The location was all we could have hoped for. The views of the bay were amazing, and Cannery Row is a nice 1/2 mile stroll. The hotel is very comfortable and would be very quiet, except for the barking sea lions, not a big deal. The hotel serves a continental breakfast to the room each morning. There is pastry, hard-boiled egg, fresh fruit, yogurt, and coffee.

Your hotel is lovely. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and we had a million dollar view. The common areas such as the decks and hot tubs were very well maintained. Thank you for a beautiful stay.

Monterey Bay Inn is absolutely stunning. I stayed there on my way to a conference and was blown away by the beauty of the place. The wildlife is incredible—sea otters playing, seals lounging, and pelicans flying around. Watching the sunrise over the bay was the highlight of my trip. I’m from West Tennessee, and this was a nice change of scenery. I can't wait to come back!

Great little hotel right on Monterey Bay ( see photos). You can walk to many places, including the aquarium and Cannery Row. The aquarium is pricy ($65 per person), but fish need to be fed a lot so that they don't eat each other. I will do a review of the aquarium tomorrow, 7/3/24, and I'll have pictures.

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.

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.

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.
