Monterey Bay Inn, hotel in Monterey

Located on the coast of Monterey Bay, Monterey Bay Inn features a rooftop whirlpool and direct access to San Carlos Beach. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Breakfast was quick and easy and loved it being delivered. Would have liked something a little more substantial like waffles or crepes or an omelet bar. I understand space is limited there. The room was adorable and very comfy. It was decorated tastefully and it was functional. The location is great! We loved that we could leave our car in the garage even after we checked out. I found it comical that earplugs are handed out at check in because of the Sea Lions! I really appreciated the bottle of wine and chocolate put in my room for my birthday! Made the weekend very special.

The location is near tourist spots, walking distance to some of it. They upgraded the king bed to 2 queen beds with no charge. The wine and cheese in the afternoon is good. Plus, the breakfast is very good. Also, they provide information to the tourist spots. We were also able to get toothbrush and toothpaste, we forgot to bring ours, thanks!

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.

    The standout aspect of the Portola hotel and spa is definitely the pool and the fact that they allow dogs.. I felt like the location was a big bonus because you weren't in the middle of cannery row and you weren't out in the hinterlands like some of the other hotels in Monterey. The porters and most of the hotel staff are very nice. The lobby is lovely though they could have Happier music playing. It's weird to check into a hotel and they're playing wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot!

    The location was great. Pretty close to Mcabbe Beach, Cannery row and the Aquarium but you will be walking alot.😫 Everything else is within a quick drive. Breakfast was just ok 👍 I prefer just regular eggs and they try too much glam.This hotel is welcoming to your fur babies and it is just awesome!
