I only stayed here for one night and traveled solo. Check-in: Staff was very friendly and gave good restaurant recommendations. Room: The room was very spacious. Had a lovely balcony with view of the docks. It was a bit warm inside the room. I realized that there was no AC, only a heater. But I used the tower fan they had in the closet and it cooled the room rather quickly. Overall, I would come here again. Amenities: They have 2 jacuzzis and there’s an ice machine available on each floor. Front desk sells sodas and snacks, otherwise there’s a 7-Eleven around the corner, less than a 7 min walk. I Breakfast: They provide a menu for you to fill out and hang on your door the night before, They offered fresh fruit, yogurt, hard boiled egg, and pastries (I got mini croissants). They also offer coffee, tea, and juice. And you choose the time you’d like to receive your meal. Overall this a nice hotel for the value and Cannery Row offerings are just a short walk away. Consider staying here for your next trip to Monterey.

I recently had a wonderful stay at the Monterey Bay Inn, and I can’t emphasize enough how fantastic the location is. Nestled right by the waterfront, the hotel offers stunning views that enhance the overall experience. One of the biggest perks is its proximity to the renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is just a short walk away. Exploring the aquarium was a highlight of my trip, and being so close made it incredibly convenient. Additionally, the surrounding area is filled with charming shops and delightful dining options, all within easy walking distance. Whether you’re in the mood for fresh seafood or a cozy café, you’ll find plenty to choose from. The inn itself is beautifully appointed, featuring comfortable rooms that provide a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. The staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring that all my needs were met during my stay. In summary, the Monterey Bay Inn combines a breathtaking location with comfort and convenience. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the best of Monterey, making it a top choice for travelers!
