Reviews from Our Guests

Outstanding all around. Perfect place to stay in Monterey.

If you want a coveted bat front room with balcony, this is the best buy. Substantially cheaper than the Monterey plaza next door. It does not have all the amenities of a luxury hotel and the rooms are very nicr but not opulent. The bay front room is fantastic. Continental breakfast is brought to your room at a time of your choosing. Staff is friendly and efficient. The sound of the ocean are wonderful to fall asleep to. You can sit on the balcony all day to enjoy the sights of the bay. Otters and seals come by regularly.

The location is excellent, right at the start of Cannery Row and within an easy walk of all the attractions. The rooms are comfortable, cosy and stylish with lovely views over the bay. Good breakfast and friendly service.

Loved the hotel. We got upgraded to an Ocean front with Fireplace for our 20th Wedding Anniversary. The bathroom was very spacious, the view is incredible and staff was very helpful. The only thing we hated was the bed. Very firm and a little lumpy. Was not soft or comfortable at all. Probably would have slept better on the floor. Also not a lot of channels on tv. And the breakfast at the door was a very nice touch, just needs a few varieties of other foods. Not the same everyday.

After 4 days of breathing all the smoke from the recent fires in Sonoma, we booked 2 nights here. I chose the bay view as a compromise between city and ocean views. I actually like the view better than just looking out to sea. We looked out over the bay and the Coast Guard pier. The staff were very professional. The room was clean and spacious. A continental breakfast is delivered to your room. All in all, a very relaxing stay.

What a great experience we had at Monterey Bay Inn! After planning a trip on a whim we stumbled across this gem of a hotel. Bethany (Beth) at the front desk greeted us with her charismatic smile. She got us settled in and on our way. She made us feel very at home and was beyond welcoming. Thank you Beth, kudos to YOU! Great hospitality. The room was clean, tidy, and had a great view. Overall, it exceeded our expectations for such a last-minute planned trip. I would unquestionably recommend it. Keep up the great job Monterey Bay Inn...(you already mastered the art of hiring the right people.) -O San Jose

I loved our room. Watched the otters and she's from our room's balcony.

We stayed on the top floor, with bay view in a spacious, well-designed room. There was a lovely balcony to sit on and enjoy an afternoon cocktail, and inside we had a sitting area with 2 comfortable chairs and TV. The room had a king-sized bed, desk and a beverage station with refrigerator and coffee-maker. The bathroom had a spacious double vanity with a tub/shower combo, and a private water closet. The hotel is not on Cannery Row, and so was relatively quiet at night, but still an easy walk to the main attractions and numerous restaurants. We also had no problem in finding our way to the 17-mile drive around Pebble Beach or going to Big Sur. The only negative was a bit of elevator repair which made us walk the stairs, but that just helped burn off a few calories from some wonderful restaurant experiences!

Great location between Fishermans Wharf and the Monterey Aquarium. Easy parking without getting into the craziness of Cannery Row. Wonderful staff and having breakfast on your balcony overlooking the water can not be beat!!!
