Reviews from Our Guests

What a lovely place. We were in room 408 with a bay view, luckily unlike some of the other bay view rooms our view was mostly of the bay. Breakfast was nice, the staff were amazing. We had no complaints. Ask for a fourth floor room they are the best and know that if you want a true view of the ocean you have to get an ocean view room. The bay view was perfect for us. Also this place is perfect in terms of location. Halfway between both Cannery Row and the wharf's.

WHY DID WE SELECT MBI: We have stayed here twice in the last year, in March 2015 and April 2016. The room is quiet (at the very end of the hall), calm and peaceful. We didn't turn the TV on for our entire stay. We don't come to Monterey for the activities, but for the peace and absolute tranquility of hearing the lap of waves, sea lions, cormorants and seagulls. The hotel is the last (or the first) one on the quiet end of the Row. ESPECIALLY HELPFUL STAFF: Martin, facilities janitor/supervisor acted as our porter and cheerfully unloaded and later reloaded our multiple pieces of luggage both times we visited, and put them in the correct places in our room. Top notch service. We tipped him lavishly as we are both disabled, parking in the handicapped zone. You'd be surprised at how many hotels no longer provide even this basic service. There was also some trouble with another hotel guest smoking on their balcony on the floor below ours. After calling the front desk, this was promptly resolved, as for us it is quite deadly to inhale due to respiratory symptoms. Quinn, Monica and all the other great folks at the desk who brought us signed cards and bottles of wine and chocolates knew how to make us feel oh so special! The homemade chocolate chips and fresh apples in the lobby are a nice touch.

Stayed in a Bay view room at Monterey Bay Inn for five nights. Service was professional and friendly - room was immaculate. This is a great place to stay in Monterrey. Second floor rooms are great. This is the second time we have stayed at the INN and I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Monterey.

First time here. Picked this hotel due to proximity to the pier for whale watching and Cannery Row. Beautiful hotel. great view from our Bay View room. Nice touch to have breakfast delivered to your room. Picked out what you want the night before and it shows up at your door when you want it. Has a very nice roof top hot tub that over looks Monterey Bay and one on the 2nd floor too. Fresh baked cookies and lemonade in the lobby. Cannery Row is literally right around the corner and Fisherman's Pier is a very nice walk away. Great covered parking. If in the area, we will stay here again.

Took a trip with no idea what I was doing and decided to head to Monterey and booked a room on my way there willing to pay extra for the ocean view...totally worth it. Checked in, and the Staff was ridiculously friendly. The most accommodating and the room was gorgeous. I was only there one night, and I wished it was for longer. I think her name was Chris, working that night, and she was probably the friendliest person I met my entire time in California. I look forward to another stay should I end up anywhere near Monterey in the future

I loved this boutique hotel. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. I loved the romantic ambience of the room with the ocean and harbor views. It was next to Cannery Row, making it easy to walk to the shops

Great location, nice room, very spacious, good service. The free breakfast was really good and a nice touch. Location is walking distance from town & easy with kids. Would stay there again.

The location of this hotel is perfect! The hotel is beautiful and who could ask for better views. The staff was very accommodating. I would stay here again. We had a great time, the lobby, cookies, coffee were fantastic.

Amazing clean and affordable. Absolutely blown away by the amenities and breakfast delivered was fantastic. Within walking distance of everything your want to see and eat. Views from the hot tub were astounding. Honestly spoiled us for the rest of the road trip, nothing came close.

My experience at the Moneterey Bay Inn was incomparable. Truly majestic views overlooking the sea. Staff tended to my needs in the most professional manner. Everything was perfect - from the breakfast to the room to the location. This is THE place to stay in Monterey.
