We stayed here for 1 night and so glad we did. The hotel is in a great location within a 5 minute walk to all the shops, restaurants and aquarium on Cannery Row. We booked into an ocean view room and the view from the balcony was superb! The room itself was a fantastic size, with a very comfy bed,... More

The last stop on a 14 day sightseeing tour of California. The hotel was well positioned on edge of cannery row, rooms were spacious and clean. A nice quiet resort with paths for walking. Staff were very helpful.

The balcony was good, but we felt a little overlooked by people climbing on the rocks nearby.The third floor would have been better . However, it was... More

The Monterey Bay Inn was the perfect place to stay. I read reviews and researched other hotels and for us this hotel was perfect. My husband and I rented a Harley and rode the Pacific Coast Highway with Monterey as our base. Location is a short walk to either the heart of Cannery Row or Old FIshermen's Wharf. The rooms... More

The Monterey Bay Inn is located at the east end of Cannery Row, within walking distance to all of the Cannery Row action, but still feels serene and peaceful. The decor is contemporary but comfortable, and the rooms are great -- cushy beds, large bathrooms/bathtubs, a pretty balcony with fresh flowers, and a beautiful continental breakfast delivered to your room...

We have stayed here a few times and have had a similar experience each time. This hotel is located next to San Carlos Beach and the far end of Cannery Row. If you get a water-front room you will be facing the beach and the Coast Guard pier. Not a bad view at all, but you are not looking out... More

This is the perfect place to stay on Cannery Row. Close to terrific restaurants and listening to the lapping of the waves beneath your balcony is heavenly. They have great spa offerings which help to add to the overall relaxing atmosphere. In the summer when the sea lions are mating, you can hear them barking as you sleep blissfully in... More

My husband and I traveled to Monterey in March of this year. We were on our honeymoon and we couldn't have stayed at a better hotel! It was quaint, clean and peaceful. Quinn and the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. They greeted us each day with a smile and the reception area always had snacks, treats... More
