We could not have been more pleased with our stay for several days while on our honeymoon. The location was great, just across the street from the bay, within walking distance of great food and attractions, and a short drive to 17 Mile Drive. We were fortunate enough to stay in a courtyard room with fireplace. It was a decent size, easily accessible, and recently renovated. Employees were helpful and pleasant. We would highly recommend for anyone staying in Monterey.

Traveled 11/23-11/26. Great stay and nice place. Traveled with wife and 2 boys ages 4 and 6. Stayed in a two queen bed room. I stayed here on advice from experts at trip advisors and could not have been happier. Did not spend lots of time in the room but when we did it was fine. Not a huge room but enough room for us. Bathroom small with no tub. Boys loved the pool and hot tub. The pool was warmed to 80 degrees so even when it was a little chilly, they were ready to go. Everything was clean, very clean and decor was fine. The hotel is built as a square with a courtyard and pool on the inside. It was quiet and the staff made us feel welcome and attended to any of our needs. I did not eat there but my wife and kids were not very impressed with the onsite restraunt. I would suggest something else. Location is perfect. I took the car to go golfing and they were able to walk to Dennis the Mennis park, Monterey beach, and Old Fishermans wharf. I will stay here everytime I go back.

We booked this hotel based on the great reviews it received on TripAdvisor. It did not live up to the hype. It is close to a major street, so there's a lot of road noise. But we wanted to keep our window open because the room was so warm when we arrived and there's no central A/C. We did, however, find a small desk fan which we kept running all night. We were scheduled to stay three nights, but checked out after the first night. The hotel staff was very understanding about our early check-out and did not charge us even though we violated the 48 hour cancellation policy. Plus, they let us stay in our room for two extra hours while we lined up a different hotel.

We recently stayed here, October 2007. We booked the Monterey Bay Lodge because of the good reviews on this web site. We liked the location & overall it was alright. I don't think I would recommend it to my friends. It felt like your typical motel , a little bit too pricey !
