Monterey Bay Lodge, hotel in Monterey

Conveniently set in the center of Monterey, Monterey Bay Lodge provides free WiFi, a garden and free private parking for guests who drive.

This place is fantastic. You can tell it’s not a corporate run operation. Mahomes could stand outside your room and hit the beach with a football, that’s how close it is. Each room has a private patio with greenery and their is a shared heated pool and hot tub. Nice outside seating areas as well.

FAQs about hotels in Monterey

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.

    Beautiful place, amazing scenic drives and clean beaches.

    Beautiful place, amazing scenic drives and clean beaches. Must cover - Evening walk on fisherman's wharf with family (my top#1 favorite thing to do) , visit to Pfeiffer Beach (one of the best beach, can spend half a day easily), 17 miles drive, drive from Monterey to Bigsur, Aquarium, Whale watching. I have seen folks going crazy for seafood, but I am vegetarian so have to be happy with limited options, if you are seafood lover this could be on your list. I also wanted to try snorkeling and scuba diving but could not do this.

    I've been going to Monterey for years and am always amazed at how they make it feel like a working community, not just a great tourist destination. I like how they take pride in their Spanish/Mexican heritage and it is reflected in a lot of the local architecture, both old and new.

    The best part was getting out of the heat!

    The best part was getting out of the heat! For the most part it was sunny and 65 degrees F! There's lots of walks and bike rides. Lots of restaurants and things to do and there's always the sea lions to hang with. As the capitol of the republic of California, Monterey has lots of historical things to see.

    One of the nicest and coolest places in the area! The sea and the beach with sea lions and seals provide an amazing setting. Wandering among the beautiful and special shops along Canary Row is an experience in itself

    Aquarium is a must! Lovely little beach town on Cannery Row.

    Aquarium is a must! Lovely little beach town on Cannery Row. Plenty of shopping and dining, check out the sardine factory for dinner or happy hour. If you’d like to explore Big Sur it will only take you about 1.5 hours south along Hwy 1. While extremely convenient, there is a free trolley service that stops at all major locations within the town but constantly jerks and stops abruptly causing for an uncomfortable experience. Ride at your own risk!

    Monterey was lovely, a great place to walk around and lots to see and do. We wish we had stayed longer. And it would also have been good to go to Carmel if we had stayed longer. The Dust Bowl brewery down near the harbour was great. (It's in between a main road and a car park so doesn't look brilliant from the outside but worth a visit!). The Fieldwork brewery on Munras Ave is also worth checking out, but only on a sunny day as it's outside seating only! The aquarium is supposed to be one of the best in the world but we were fairly underwhelmed.
