Beautiful Place

We loved our summer weekend getaway at the Monterey Bay Inn! Our king ocean view room was very comfortable and we sat on our private balcony for hours on the ocean listening to the sea lions from the neighboring pier. All the special touches were included and, after being disappointed we had left our binoculars at home, we were most excited to find a pair in the room for viewing the otters and harbor seals close in the water! Room service breakfast was a nice touch! The staff was friendly and accommodating. The place has two hot tubs, one with a great ocean view, and a fire pit, but we also were impressed at how private it felt while being right on Cannery Row.

Wonderful Experience

This was the third time we have spent an anniversary at the Inn. This time we stayed for four days and nights. We have returned every year because the atmosphere is so relaxing and the service impeccable. Beth at the front desk is an excellent host. The staff was always cheery and friendly. We will be returning next year for our thirty-eighth anniversary.

Awesome!

We came to Monterey for a night and found only one available room in the whole area. And what a room it was! We had an oceanfront room with an amazing view of the bay. Fell asleep and woke up to the sound of the waves and sealions. So peaceful. Spent a lot of time on the balcony.. The room was wonderful. Good size, comfortable bed and a huge bathroom. The shower had the best waterpressure I’ve ever experienced in a hotel. Extra plus for breakfast in the room. The service was also excellent. Highly reccommended.

Anniversary Stay

We stayed at Monterey Bay Inn for our anniversary night during vacation to California. We found everything to be wonderful - staff was friendly, parking was easy upon arrival. Cookies and water are available in the lobby. Our room had a nice view of the ocean. We told them it was our anniversary and we were provided with a complimentary bottle of wine, chocolates and a card which was really nice. The hot tub on the 4th floor has an awesome view - we saw a sea otter and seals. Perfect location on cannery row - within walking distance of many stores and restaurants, as well as the aquarium. The complimentary breakfast was perfect and a nice touch! We would definitely return to this hotel if our travels found us in Monterey again.

Great Views and Service

I had fantastic views from my balcony and my room overlooking the harbor and Bay. There is also a very nice fountain just across the driveway in the sounds from the fountain and also the seals barking in the harbor is very peaceful and beautiful. The room was very clean and spacious. My only quibble is the towels. They are clean, but felt very rough on the skin. Maybe an upgrade is in order. First impressions are always important and in that vein I'd like to mention the wonderful service I received from Beth and Merle at the front desk. They were friendly, informative, and extremely helpful every time I contacted them. I always walked away feeling very positive about my experience. Kudos! And thank you.

Romantic Getaway

Great hotel right on the beach! The bed was so comfortable and the staff was helpful and friendly! There were binoculars in the room which was awesome when we noticed a bunch of otters were near the coast and a school of dolphins came by for a show! We will definitely be back! We upgraded to a room on the ocean side this time which was so awesome! Last year we stayed here for one night with a partial view. This time we stayed 3 wonderful nights. The jacuzzi on the roof is so much fun at night with the lights of the bay. There is so much to do here in Monterey.

Sleepy Ocean Relaxation!

I loved this hotel, and although we only spent one night there on our two week trek around the west coast, this was one of my favourite stops. The executive rooms are just beautiful, with patio doors that open onto a small balcony revealing nothing other than the ocean horizon. If you close the shutters but leave the doors open, you'll fall asleep, and indeed awaken, to the blissful sound of the waves crashing against the shore. Enjoy a lovely fresh breakfast and crisp newspaper whilst sitting on the balcony in your dressing gown. What could be better in this sleepy fisherman's town? Well, the rooftop ocean view jacuzzi definitely gives it a go. The service is very friendly, you'll feel right at home from the moment you arrive. Terribly romantic. Just wonderful!

Fabulous experience

We booked a room at the Monterey Bay Inn based on a recommendation. Every aspect of our stay was above our expectations. Our room was upgraded when we arrived. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and inviting. The location is perfect for walking to attractions and for an early morning jog. They even brought a morning breakfast to our room. Great relaxing evenings by the fire pit and jacuzzi. No need to look for any other place to stay.
