Monterey Bay Lodge

Hotel in Downtown Monterey, Monterey

Conveniently set in the center of Monterey, Monterey Bay Lodge provides free WiFi, an outdoor swimming pool and free private parking for guests who drive. Eveything. Beautiful location and vibe. Loved it so much booked a 3rd night once there. - Stayed in a fireplace king room (102) and had direct access to the garden where we used the lounges, fire pits and pool on multiple occasions. - Pool and hot tub was clean and warm, perfect for the evening when the little one was sleeping as it was open til 10pm. Our baby monitor had no problem reaching and it was close enough to the room we felt safe to do so. What an indulgence. - Stayed over a weekend in spring break but found it to be super relaxed and quiet with no noise issues at all (though we do travel with white noise for the toddler just in case). - Room was large, house keeping wonderful, shower had good pressure. Hairdryer is one that's stuck to the wall, but my hair isn't long so wasn't an issue. Lovely to get Dove toiletries. I don't believe they offer cots, but we cosleep with our 2yo when travelling so just put pillows next to her when we were at the pool at night. There was plenty of space in the room if you travel with a portable cot though. - Right across from the paddle boats, beach and large park (Dennis the menace) which was perfect for our toddler. Short drive to Cannery Row and the Aquarium. 15min from Carmel too. - We drove to the aquarium and found the street parking easy and cheap (using an app) and paid $5 for an afternoon (instead of $20 in the lot on Foam St), but good that there's options if you want to spend the whole day. Would definitely stay here again!

A Wild Coastline and Even Wilder Sealife

Known for beautifully undulating coastline attracting a wealth of wildlife, laid-back Monterey is on a small peninsula. Though now more famous for Monterey Jack cheese, it was once an important sardine fishing town. Some former canning factories now house galleries and shops on a street renamed Cannery Row after a novel by John Steinbeck. A museum and his former home in nearby Salinas can be visited.

The fantastic Monterey Bay Aquarium houses a fascinating range of local sealife, which is so prevalent here that you can often see seals basking on craggy beaches, or sea lions roaring away under piers in Fisherman’s Wharf. Whalewatching tours also depart from here.

South is the Monterey State Historic Park, site of historic buildings including Custom House and the Old Whaling Station with a path made from whalebone. To the east are a couple of Monterey hotels on the beach on Booking.com, and there are also several Monterey hotels with indoor pools.

Right by Monterey Peninsula Airport is one of the city’s 7 golf courses, and there are 3 golf courses near the Laguna Seca Raceway.

Whether you’re here for the Monterey Jazz Festival, or for driving the Big Sur Pacific coast road to the south, if you’re staying with kids, don’t forget to check out the Dennis the Menace Park.
