Reviews from Our Guests

What a jewel this place is. The oceanfront rooms are spectacular! I had a bit of a misunderstanding with the 800 number reservation customer service line and was quite frustrated in regards to a price guarantee discrepancy. Afterwards, I phoned Assistant general manager Stacy Lee and she rectified the situation and delivered excellent customer service. She is a real asset to the management team. My wife and I are celebrating 20 years together and have always wanted to stay at this hotel. It was well worth the wait. Many people claim the Monterrey Plaza as the "best" location to stay and I must admit we thought the same. No more. The Monterrey Bay Inn has the best oceanfront experience hands down. Friends of ours stayed there and while it's a fabulous hotel (if you get the ocean view rooms) it's just a bit more special at the Monterrey Bay Inn. The ocean front rooms are private and literally "over" the water. It's like being on a cruise ship without the cramped accommodations. The views are spectacular and the rooms perfectly serviceable and comfortable. So much so that it easily overcomes the lack of onsite dining and spa services. They have a sister property (Casa Munrus) that offers excellent spa services and there are many walkable dining options near by as the location is right in the heart of Monterey. Skip the Intercontinental and Monterey Plaza and book a ocean front room at Monterey Bay Inn. Then invite those that booked elsewhere over to see what they missed out on! Much like the Dream Inn is the prefect Santa Cruz hotel, Monterey Bay Inn is the perfect Monterey hotel. Thank you Stacy Lee, you made our special getaway perfect! We really appreciate your customer service skills and helping us book the perfect stay for our Monterey getaway!

This place was a gem! I have a serious issue with cleanliness and this hotel took the cake! It didn't matter where I look, this place was clean! The hotel itself was a little older but well taken care of. I showed up only to be surprised by having an ocean front room which was amazing to look at and hear the ocean at night. The front desk personnel was nice, accommodating, and I will be coming back again. It's away from all the activity on cannery row but close enough to walk. I highly recommend this hotel. I will be coming back next year.

Just spent a few days to relax and enjoy the beautiful ocean view from Monterey Bay Inn rooms. Have stayed here several times and enjoyed every trip. Close to everything on Cannery Row and Fishermen’s Wharf, restaurants, activities. Have a very nice room service continental breakfast and staff very helpful in making any reservations needed. Great experience and value for the $$.

I have been visiting this property since the late 70's, and it has remained very quaint, but has evolved over time with the redevelopment of Cannery Row. The staff have always provided exceptional service, and granted special requests that make us feel appreciated. The level of hospitality displayed in all aspects of the operation, exhibit a commitment to providing their guests with a great experience. The properties location on the waters edge, along with the small boutique ambiance is highly recommended when staying over in Monterey.

We stayed at the Monterey Bay Inn Panoramic Ocean View Room on the 4th floor. Stacy Lee the manager made this a very special 10 year anniversary get away. Thank you for the bottle of wine and anniversary card. Great staff that is another reason we keep coming back. And you to otters, you put on a great show!

The bed and breakfasts in the area either had missing components (ocean views) or were fully booked. This hotel seemed like the most obvious option. If you're going to be in Monterey, CA, you'd want a place that provides a big breakfast, good quality coffee and an ocean view. It is a great place to stay for a weekend. I fell for Monterey when I saw Big Little Lies, and I pictured myself jogging near the beach, with my earbuds firmly in place. Pictured myself in a beachfront café, with my Kindle and a smile. Loved it! Beautiful place for a wonderful experience!
