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.

I liked the room...until they did construction on the room next door early in the morning while we were staying two nights. Our toilet stopped working same morning. Told us they could move us to a downgraded room in the pouring rain. Then was told I would get compensated and didn't.

FAQ about beach rentals 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.

    The centre of the town is rather tacky & expensive but the National Park at Point Lobos is lovely, as is the coastal drive (or cycle) to Carmel. The Aquarium was somewhat disappointing and very overpriced inside. The small Art museum is worth a short visit. The dedicated, car free trail for pedestrians and cyclists is a nice idea.

    Monterey is a great place to spend a few days.

    Monterey is a great place to spend a few days. There is a lot to see and once you learn the one ways streets it is easy to get around. The wharf is fine, Cannery row is a tourist spot but it is fun and the aquarium is great. Food is very good in Monterey and Carmel.

    Cannery Row is a bit of a tourist trap, but if you head away from the beach you quickly access the restaurants of Lighthouse Avenue, including Hula - Hawaian food. If I had my time again, I would have tried to stay nearer to the Acquariam, even as far west as Pacific Grove (technically the next town along), near the delights of Happy Girl Kitchen.

    I love the ocean.

    I love the ocean. There are just so many great little beaches to visit. Monterey has so much Sea life too. We saw harbor seals, otters, elephant seals, too late for the Monarch Butterflys, tons of birds, just from the walking paths! We actually walked from Monterey to Pacific Grove. There are also loads of shops, and restaurants.

    My trip to Monterey Bay was amazing, due to how beautiful the scenery was and how close everything was to were I stayed. The Wave Street In was a great hotel to stay in because the aquarium and many restaurants are so close to it you can walk everywhere and not worry about parking. The hotel was also great as everything was clean and the staff was very helpful.

    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 motel has been refurbished recently and the rooms were fresh, clean and comfortable. Although the rooms at the front of the property on the main road may have been a bit noisy we had a room upstairs at the back and it was very easy to sleep. Reception staff were all helpful and friendly, especially Naomi. The hotel is located not far from Cannery Row and the Wharf and it was easy to find parking downtown. Safeway supermarket is just a couple of minutes away which is a bonus.

    The hotel is well situated, just walking distance away from Monterey's Cannery Row. Our room was comfortable and spacious, with the added charm of a working gas fireplace. What's more, the hotel offers a generous breakfast and a wine-tasting happy hour. What's there not to like? Just note that off-the-street garage parking is extra. Also, if you are looking for a nearby restaurant, I would strongly recommend The Sardine Factory, which serves excellent seafood.

    This hotel was amazing!! It was very clean, the people at the front desk were very kind and helpful, and the location of this hotel was close to everything! Me and my fiancé went to Monterey for our anniversary and were planning on doing Cannery Row and the beaches, and this was by everything!! I highly recommend staying at this little hotel! Parking was pretty big, they have a back lot as well, the beds were very cozy and everything went very well!

    The location of the Clement, on Cannery Row, next to the Monterey Aquarium, could not be better for practically anything you would want to do in the area. Well within walking distance of great eats and great sights. The hotel itself is modern with all the amenities (except spa/gym was unavailable due to COVID), well maintained and clean. Off-site parking was steep at $35/night, but within easy walking distance and unlimited in/out privileges.

    I like how they tried to get the lowest level room as possible since my father is a senior and has a hard time to walk and there is no elevator. They accept our dogs at the hotel and cheap rate for them to stay at the hotel. The room was decent and we were close to the pool and had a pretty good view. Close drive to the freeway and Monterey downtown, Fishermans wharf. Gas station is right in the same parking lot as the hotel.

    This hotel was a great place to relax after a few days in San Francisco. The room, restaurant and patio were lovely and a nice pool area was a bonus. The staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a good location, with the main street that leads to Old Fishermans Wharf just down the road. Monterey is a charming town with a good choice of restaurants, and a beautiful coastline.
