We got a corner room with a balcony overlooking Cannery Row. It was very lively and busy during the day but with the 10pm ordinance in place the street was completely quiet so best of both worlds if you're there for the aquarium etc.

The best and the most exceptional breakfast…didn’t expect the kind of food being served. I like the quiet location, walkable distance to many restaurants and shops and even along Ocean Ave all the way to the beach. The staff were friendly. Hotel room was very clean, a lot of available parking spaces.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

This aquarium resides where sardine factories once stood. Now, the site harbours an ocean’s worth of species. The main exhibit’s huge single-pane window is all that stands between you and four million litres of water. Watch schools of fish scuttle away from lurking sharks and lurching turtles. For fur-filled underwater acrobatics, swing by the sea otter zone at feeding time.

    the aquarium is beautiful and the sea life is amazing but they don't limit the number of people in so you are packed in like sardines the whole time with people elbowing you. You have to push in and wait in lines to see every exhibit.

    Took my 83 year old mother to the aquarium and we had a delightful day! Would strongly recommend arriving early! We had to make reservations before going and opted for the earliest entrance and were so happy we did because were able to get in quickly, get a wheel chair easily and had no problem manuevering around crowds. By early afternoon there were many people and we were done by 3 in the afternoon and were able to go eat down the street afterwards.
