    Staff was very friendly! It was located near everything.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The view was nice. I enjoyed my time here and had a great stay. Price wise would only stay again if they had a deal.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Small cozy but staffs made it all worth it!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This hotel thinks of all the little things that make your life easier. The extra sink, the extra towels, the coffee, the breakfast, the comfortable pillows and bed. Very well run hotel.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Needs a little updating for the rooms and general areas.

    I am glad I got a discount on this hotel. I would have been pretty upset had I paid full price for what condition the hotel is in. It is old for sure. The room and bathroom were nice and clean, so that's why it gets a 4 star, but the carpet in the hallway is gross, and the hot tubs are sad. And the exterior of the building leaves much to be desired!

    Thank you, will be staying here again

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Well maintain hotel,next to the beach. Great location and friendly staff.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This was our best hotel experience we’ve ever had in Monterey. We loved everything about this hotel and the staff were wonderful and helpful. We will be repeat customers from now on!

    We stayed in a waterfront room - right on Monterey Bay and it was beautiful. The only problem was that there were so many seals on the beach nearby that we couldn't sleep with the doors open without listening to the seals all night! But, overall, the hotel was nice and clean and the staff was very accomodating. We were there for a special occasion and 2 different staff members gave us a bottle of champagne. The hotel was also walking distance to many restaurants. Overall, a great location.

    Maybe a regular breakfast instead of boiled eggs.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Beautiful hotel great service. Breakfast was taken to room. Beach was super close, clean and clear.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Good free parking. Great location near the pier and beach. The staff was very friendly and professional. Had a problem with the shower but it never really was addressed. Was a bit disappointed in that. The breakfast was brought to the room which was a treat. Overall a great stay, just would if I could afford it get a water front room. It’s nice to leave the sliding doors open for the breezes but it was loud in the morning.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Loved the view and location. Missing a restaurant and room service.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    My wife and I had a great stay at the Monterey Bay Inn over the 4th of July weekend. The view from our balcony was great. Sleeping with the balcony door open and hearing the gentle sound of water was relaxing. We would definitely stay here again. Close to both fishermen’s warf and cannery row.

    Relaxing and clean

    The hotel was great, clean rooms, good service staff. Highly recommend

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We stayed one night. The room was modern and clean. Pool and gym if we needed it. Property was quiet and we got a good night's sleep. Food was good (not great). Bartender was helpful (steering us away from cocktail that was an "acquired taste".
