Although it lacks the curb appeal of neighboring Monterey Plaza Hotel, I was so glad we stayed here. The attention to detail and personal service were impeccable. The front desk sent up chocolates and sparkling cider after we checked in (would have been champagne but I don't drink alcohol and mentioned that when booking when they asked what the occasion...

Great location but the pungent smell of the sea? Meant that we were unable to have the doors to our patio open. If you request a room facing the city it may also be brighter. Free wifi and extra long bath tub were great.

We are delighted with our choice of the Monterey Bay Inn. We wanted to check out the Cannery Row area, and the hotel is on the edge of it, so you get the convenience plus a little distance. Our view was fantastic and we had a little balcony; upon arriving and breathing in that fresh, cool ocean air, we instantly... More

We had a great time. The outside is not much to look at, but the rooms are very big, comfortable, clean and well maintained. We had an oceanfront room with an electric fireplace; the view from our rooms were spectacular. Each morning, we had breakfast on our patio with binoculars (supplied by hotel) by my side. I didn’t want to... More

We've stayed at this Inn several times, most recently in November 2012 for our honeymoon :) I don't think I'd stay anywhere in Monterey. It's not cheap, I'll just get that out of the way, but it's not outrageously expensive either, and they occasionally offer great deals, especially during the off-season, which is when we always stay (October and November...

We stayed here for two nights and loved the place. The young lady that checked us in, Wendy, was lovely and a credit to the hotel. Nicely furnished room with a nice view I would highly recommend a stay here. Close to Cannery Row and all the attractions. Perfect place to fall asleep to the sound of the waves lapping.

I loved this hotel. We stayed in a oceanfront room with an amazing view. I was celebrating my birthday and was surprised to find a bottle of red wine in my room with the compliments of the staff. It was a very nice touch. The room was new and the bathroom was larger than I expected. The breakfast was served... More

Booked this on the Internet, looked good, was actually better We had an oceanfront room, comparatively good value, parking just under the hotel, room and views fabulous The staff were very helpful at all times, however the winner was the view - the in room binoculars were a nice touch and there was plenty to see Breakfast delivered to your...

After searching the internet for reasonably priced hotels with ocean view rooms in Monterey, we finally decided on the Monterey Bay Inn for our honeymoon. We couldn't have been happier! The service was excellent, the room was gorgeous and clean, and we chose an ocean front view which was amazing. The complimentary breakfast was a perfect way to start our... More
