Monterey Bay Inn, Monterey

Everyone at the hotel front desk is very polite and refreshing. The room service is exceptional, too. However, my stay at the Inn was a disappointment. If you stay here, make sure you request a room with a good view of the ocean, ask for a breakdown of charges and be really careful not to leave anything expensive behind. You won't get it back. If they would have done more to alleviate my complaints, I would have been able to give the Inn a better rating. Instead, I am left with a very bad taste despite an otherwise wonderful experience in Monterey. If I could do it over again I would pay a little bit more money and stay at the hotel next door. That hotel is SO LUXURIOUS and really not that much more expensive. I feel like I just flushed my money down the drain.

my boyfriend and i stayed here for the first time new years ever 2009-2010 and we loved it. Since then we went for valentines day and we are also going back this upcoming weekend for my birthday. I would recommend this spot to everyone. If you stay you have to stay either on harbor view or ocean view and both are amazing. Definitely the new go to for vacations. = )

I took my wife here last weekend to get away from the hustle and bustle of the East Bay. We had the coner room (Rm. #220) which I highly recommend. The view of the ocean and the small beach to the right of our room was simply put, amazing! There was a fireplace (electric) and a jacuzzi style bathtub. The bathroom had a window with nearly the same view as the living room area! We had a bottle of wine delivered to our room and toasted to the beginning of an awesome weekend while watching the ocean's waves crash at the base of our room. Very tranquil location, yet close to shopping, restaurants, and some night life. The bed was extremely soft and comfortable I dont think I even moved in my sleep. We woke up and had breakfast served to our room. As we ate our breakfast in bed and enjoyed the ocean view from our room, we watched various boats pass by and scuba divers swimming around in the ocean. Considering the awesome view, we never once felt the urge to turn on the large flat screen tv in our room. This was our first time in Monterey and it was a memorable one at that. I would definitely recommend trying out the Monterey Bay Inn! We will be back soon!

This was a great surprise for us. Usually the places around the beaches are rather scruffy but the room we were in looked like it had recently been redecorated but found out later it had been 5 years since redecoration. They do a good job at maintaining the quality. Their free continental breakfast is truly a complete breakfast. Coffee, fresh fruit, bagel with cream cheese and jam, and an egg. What more could a person want to start their day, served in your room at that. We will difinitely be staying there again....soon.

The Good: The suite room 317 was very spacious, classy décor; the bed was fantastic if you like soft beds, huge bathroom all in marble. Continental breakfast is served to your room in the morning. 5 Minute walk to shops and 10 to the Aquarium. The Bad: Fee to park in their facility, but it beats running out to fill the meters. Bathroom could’ve used a heater, little cold with marble floors.

Our family of five had a wonderful time while staying at your hotel. Great location for golfing, shopping, and relaxation. We were very happy with our spacious room and beautiful and large bathroom!!! We had a ocean/harbor view which was wonderful, we were able to see all of the wildlife and all of the activity going on in the harbor. The staff was very pleasant and helpful with any questions or requests. Make sure if you are interested in booking a massage you call at least one day ahead was my only complaint.

Monterey Bay is the BEST! It is a place to get away and enjoy a relaxing vacation. The sounds of the ocean drift you to sleep.(ocean view room.) My husband and I have been returning to this romantic place for years. The view is breathtaking. The service is great! In fact, this is our refuge for peace. The rooms are always clean. It's a joy to see nature in its natural essence. Play some music, relax, have a glass of wine, unwind, and enjoy eachother. A place to make memories. A great vacation for two or with your family!

The Monterey Bay Inn Calif. The Good: Very friendly and great staff! The suite was a great room clean, classy décor, comfortable beds, a very nice big shower, outside Jacuzzi tub 4th floor great view of the bay! On the lower floors you can see the sea otters play right outside your balcony. With all the amenities and atmosphere you would want to move in here… The Bad: Sometimes can hear the upstairs people walking about if they are very heavy footed, better than most hotels. The parking spots are not made for large vehicles and you pay a parking fee. The Ugly: not having enough time to stay there more often! The Bottom line: Great place to stay we are going there again! K&C

after a phone call with "the floor desk manager" regarding a cancellation fee after 20 mins I will never book a room in that INN, rude lady... I can't imagine if you complain about something during you stay.

Location is wonderful and perfect for a trip to the aquarium. The ocean view rooms are fantastic if you enjoy watching otters and other wildlife from the balcony. Service is prompt and the staff is pleasant. The redecorated rooms are confortable and nicely appointed. A word of warning, there is a fee to park in their facility, but it beats running out to fill the meters.
