Location was perfectly situated between Cannery Row and Fisherman’s Wharf. Staff was welcoming and helpful in suggestions for around town. Room with an Ocean view was more than a view - it hovered over the water and the crashing waves were soothing! We will definitely be back!

Excellent location with amazing ocean views! Loved hearing and seeing the barking seals and sea lions. Lots of otters as well. Room was extremely clean with a very comfortable well made bed and pillows. Beautiful spacious bathroom. Both hot tubs and fire pit are nice amenities. Front desk staff and housekeeping were so nice and friendly. Couldn’t ask for better, they do their job well. Breakfast was perfect. Whale watching, Fisherman’s wharf, Cannery Row and driving distance to some other cool towns. Loved my recent stay and hope to be back again someday.

This stay was way too short. It is beautifully centered near the wharf and the downtown, so it is a beautiful scenic walk.

This location is in the middle of everything. We walked to Cannery Row, walked to Fishermans Wharf, both easy to do. Get a high room, harbor side, its beautiful. Love the breakfast delivered right to the room.

We stayed at Monterey Bay Inn for 4 nights and never had a problem. Hotel was clean and close to the marina, restaurants, and shops. The room was spacious and the bed was firm (that is the way we like it). Breakfast was brought to the room every morning (muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit). We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching all the wildlife. We would definitely stay here again.

Pictures are deceiving

Service here is beyond fantastic! Very pleasant, super helpful and very accommodating. But the hotel itself is an absolute mess! For $900 we had a room with no ac, the screen door was broken and had holes in it. very thin walls and ceiling to the point where we could here every step the guest above us made, for the last two nights. Constant noises and movements, bed was hard but still better than some we’ve slept in. Stain on the wall, cracks in the ceiling in the restroom and the shower as well as the side of the bed. Water from the shower kept finding its way on the floor no matter how closed we put the curtain. Blow dryer looked like it was pulled out of the trash. No hand soap in the room, no ventilation in the bathroom. Room smelled musky. Highlight was the room came with binoculars to see the sealife. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Monterey or Cannery row for that matter. Pay the extra money and get a better room somewhere else.

Fabulous romantic vacation

It was a beautiful honeymoon stay! The room looked out over the ocean while still having the shoreline to our right side. Waves crashed making the most relaxing sounds. A little pricey but it was well worth spending it this one time. So much so, that we’re talking of making it an annual trip on our anniversary. Staff was magnificent! The young lady (Beth?) gave us a list of recommended restaurants nearby. They have a free continental breakfast where you pick items off a list, hang it on the door and have it delivered at your preferred time! The list seems basic, but it actually wasn’t bad. I definitely recommend this place.
