Reviews from Our Guests

We just enjoyed four nights at the Monterey Bay Inn and I can’t say enough nice things about it. Everything at this boutique hotel was clean and well-maintained. The staff was friendly and professional. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast delivered to the room every morning was a great way to start the day. We had a harbor-view king room with a balcony overlooking a small beach park, tide pools, a fountain, and a wharf and marina in the distance. I can close my eyes and still see it all. If you are considering a visit, do not hesitate!

We booked for an anniversary weekend & once we arrived, everything was so pleasant. Parking was easy, lobby was relaxing with aroma therapy & calming music. The front desk concierge was welcoming, kind & knowledgeable. Room was clean, modern & well maintained. The not tub areas were also clean & well maintained. Would absolutely stay here again. The only thing that was a little much was the volume of the music in the lobby hallway to the elevator was a bit higher than I would prefer. Overall, amazing stay!

We've stayed at many of the resorts and hotels in Monterey and Carmel, but this, by far, has been one of the best! The staff was most accommodating and courteous. Our room with a bay view was large and very comfortable. What a treat it was to wake up to the sound of the waves, sea birds, and yes, even seals. The best treat was ordering our complimentary breakfast the night prior, which was delivered as room service promptly at the time requested!! We enjoyed our boiled eggs, yogurts, fruits and pastries, coffee and juices out on our balcony on a sunny morning. We will certainly be returning to this gem along the Monterey Bay!

We stayed here the week after Thanksgiving in an Ocean View room that was spectacular. The carpeted room itself is very well appointed with a comfortable king bed, down pillows, individual night stands, a work table and chair, 2 side chairs and a large table, 3 drawer dresser that doubled as a stand for the 48" flat screen TV. Custom lighting with recessed ceiling can-lights with dimmers, a table lamp, floor lamp and 2 bedside reading lamps. Great WiFi. The walls were tastefully decorated with local themed art. There was a mini frig under a shelf in the hallway holding a Keurig coffee pot, tea pot, mugs and glasses. The bathroom was spacious with more ceiling lights, his/hers sinks, tiled floors, granite counter, a wide mirrored closet with safe and tub/shower combination. The lav was in a separate room to itself. The private balcony patio overlooking the the ocean had 2 chairs, a table and flower pot with flowers. The views were incredible, wildlife everywhere looking across the bay including sea otters and sea lions feeding in the kelp be right out front. The patio was accessed by a sliding glass door with screen and 3 separate wooden louvered doors. Breakfast was delivered daily to the room consisting of your choice of fresh fruit, eggs, yogurt, a carafe of coffee or tea, pastries and juice. Incredibly good. There is a $24 daily parking fee for the ground level garage. Well worth it as we found everything we wanted to see within easy walking distance. The hotel has 2 hot tubs that we saw and outdoor reading, visiting areas. Fresh cookies in the lobby daily. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. This was our first time staying at MBI, but won't be the last.

Very Friendly staff. Comfortable, clean offering beautiful views.

Was a great experience! Room was amazing, fantastic view and excellent service!

Walkability: Right on water - near everything.

Beautiful property very conveniently located at one end of Cannery Row. Beautiful views, parking is on the property. The rooms are very nice and spacious with comfortable beds.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. Mid-range priced hotel with million-dollar views of Monterey Bay. Very clean, well decorated facility with many interesting finishing touched. Beds are comfortable, the balcony has a little table, chairs, and a large potted geranium. Each night in the courtyard, they light the fire in the pit which is next to the jacuzzi. Parking is underneath the hotel. A continental breakfast is brought to your room at a time of your choosing. The managers and hotel staff were all helpful and friendly. I hope to stay there again.

We booked here for the balcony and the view of the bay. The room was wonderful, the view was fantastic. Location was great, we could walk to all the restaurant's.
