Have been at the Monterey Bay Inn three times now, two times with my husband, and the third - with my best friend, who was vising from Romania. I loved it every single time, hence the coming back. The rooms are luxurious (especially the bathrooms - they are very high-end!), the ocean view is spectacular, and the customer service excellent.... More

Very nice hotel, clean, cozy, comfortable but the best part is the hotel sits literally right over the water. When you stand on the balcony, the water is beneath you. You sleep to the sound of the waves which is "the best". It's true that in Monterey there are Sea Otters and they live in the bay that this hotel... More

Front desk very courteous and helpful with tourist suggestions/maps/food etc. great location...at the end of cannery row. A very short walk to the action...but just far enough away for some privacy. Loooooved it. The plumbing... More

Travelled to Monterey with Bikestyle Tours on a recent cycling trip. The Monterey Bay Inn would have to be the best choice in Monterey. Rooms are very big and extremely well furnished. The views over the bay are magnificent but the most impressive thing are the staff who went out of the way to ensure our groups' stay was unforgettable... More

The beach access outside would be more desired if the park restrooms didn't have a horrible smell. Everything was enjoyable, keep up the good work!

We tend to pick nice hotels, but a little off the beaten path. This hotel was great - near enough to Cannery Row but not in the middle of it all. The bed was VERY comfortable, the bathroom is beautiful (and high end with Aveda products), and the staff very pleasant. We opted for bay front room. We enjoyed it... More

My husband and I wanted to go to Monterey for our anniversary but didn't know where to stay. We chose the Monterey Bay Inn because of its great reviews online. We stayed there one night and paid a little more for the full ocean view. It was amazing! We didn't want to leave. We were served the free continental breakfast... More

This place is so special to us. We live in Orange County so coming to Monterey and especially the Monterey Bay Inn is a reality check for us. Sitting on the balcony of our 4th floor room facing the ocean and watching the various birds, otters, seals, boats, scuba divers,and Brown Dolphins is our favorite thing to do. Just to... More
