Monterey Bay Inn

Location , staff , room the view was unreal, with the best view of Monterey bay

Spacious, updated room with a great view. Loved watching all the sea life at play! Sea lions and otters swirling and twirling in pairs in the water and romping at the shoreline. The oceanfront room gave us a great view of all the activity beneath us in the water. The harbor room might have been better because it has a direct view of San Carlos beach where all the sea lion action was happening. It was great entertainment, until bedtime came along. We wanted to leave our balcony door open to get the fresh sea air but the sea lions were just too noisy. It’s louder than spring break in Mazatlan! They squawk and bark constantly. I learned that they aren’t there all year so be sure to check. It made sleeping a little challenging…but we still managed to get a restful 8 hours in!

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.

View was incredible. Complimentary breakfast was convenient. Location was excellent. Walking distance to cannery row attractions and shops. Tidal coffee just around the corner with excellent coffee. Parking super easy literally underneath the rooms.
