Cool view of ocean from room. Great walking distance. Careful the parking is very tight and they don’t have much of a lobby or front desk. Also be ready for seagulls living on the roof making quite a lot of noise in the early morning.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The seagulls love this place. They perch on the roof and you have the sounds of the sea just outside your room. Even with the cute seagulls, the property is quaint, clean and quiet. The bedding was a bit tattered, but the room was clean. The location is great! Everything on Cannery Row is a short easy walk away. The parking is covered, secure, and easy to access.

Arrived and check in was easy. They gave us a complimentary bag of some snacks. The room was clean, and had a frigerator and safe. The bathroom ammentities were great. My hair was so soft after a shower. Ice on 2nd floor by fire pits. Nice place to eat, rest and enjoy the outside after walking around the area. Which we were only a couple blocks away from street to Aquarium and the shops. In fact a couple blocks away from CVS, Starbucks and surrounded by restaurants. Cafe across the street was delicious too. Recommended by hotel. Baby seagulls also were there on top of roof being on the 4th floor we had great vies of rooftop and the birds and an ocean view.

Staff was great. We were greeted right away, given local recommendations and a bag of snacks. The room was fine and the bed was comfortable. It could have used more attention to detail as far as deep cleaning goes but it was in no way “filthy”. It smelled a bit old and musty when we first entered the room but that seems to be typical of anything near the ocean. The fire pits were nice to have! I wasn’t a fan of the Cannery Row area. It was again, typical of a touristy t-shirt shop, souvenir shop area. So not sure i’d stay again. But it was still a good mid-level place to stay.

It’s a ok facility for a brief stay. The room is generally clean but has a musty smell. The room was far from the nice photos they displayed on the booking page. The toiletries is also not matching what was advertised. The location is very convenient and close to the canary roll. The self parking is spacious with a $17/day fee. It’s very thoughtful for the hotel to have a 4:00 vehicle checkout time to accommodate guest who visit the aquarium.

Had a wonderful stay. I requested an upper floor room with ocean view and I wasn’t disappointed. John and Carol at front desk were always helpful and friendly. Room was clean, location within walking distance to aquarium and cannery row. Short drive to Carmel. Only issues were cable would go out sometimes and kids yelling and running around in courtyard. Luckily that stopped at 830. Overall was a great stay.

Cute place with few extras but quite centrally-located to town, a number of restaurants, and a CVS across the street (for those ‘musts’ that are sometimes hard to locate in tourist areas). The connected parking garage was a nice amenity that we could use until 4pm on the day we checked out (12-noon checkout time). It’s a motel-like feel with nice little spots to sit outside and even a small fire pit area for some quaint outdoor relaxation back at the inn. The room we stayed in was simple—two queen beds with a bathroom at the back of the room. One window at the entry point of the room that opens right up to the outside courtyard area. There was only a room-darkening Roman shade for privacy—no translucent window shade option to allow light in while still maintaining privacy. Not much of an issue if there’s good lighting options inside, but we found the lighting to be too bright. Even the bedside lighting is a lot more light than I think most prefer and was not adjustable—the whole room gets a lot of light or none at all. The bathroom has a small window with privacy film, was clean and a good amount of space. Ours had a tub shower with great water pressure and a curtain that was too short and not weighted, so we had to choose between letting the water run out or use an elbow to keep the curtain from floating into you while showering.
The bed was a little soft for my liking but clean.
Overall, a simple but clean experience close to many sights!

The location and staff were fantastic. The room itself smelled heavily of carpet glue and the AC was so loud we couldn't use it. The sheets were clean but tattered to the point of the stuffing poking out of our comforters. The rod from our blinds kept slipping out nearly skewering the person by the door. The shower was awesome though with great water pressure and the hotel's shower products were nice, as well.

The property was located right in Cannery Row making it very convenient for walking. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and I appreciated the little coffee machine. The only drawbacks were thin walls, loud birds early in the morning, and limited “extras” (no hair conditioner, few towels, only one day supply of coffee, etc.)

Location and quality of unit and staff was excellent. They do not offer breakfast and TV did not get network stations while we were there. The front desk adjusted the rate due to TV issue which was very considerate. All in all, I would stay there again when visiting Monterey.

The shower doors had a glitch. Beautiful, they were not finished. Will stay again, though. I feel confident the issue with the leaky doors will be addressed.

Nice modern rooms but too small for more than a day's stay. Wish that the pillows were more comfortable though, the pillows in our room was flat and lumpy. Location and view was great. It's an 8 minute walk to the aquarium. Should have read the fine print re: parking because it is not free, you have to pay $17 a night.

We had a very disappointing experience at Wave Inn Monterey Bay.

The reception experience was poor from the start, and the room we were given had a strong unpleasant odor. The bedsheets were crumpled and did not feel properly prepared, which made the room feel unclean and uncomfortable.

We requested a room change, but the second room was very similar and did not resolve the issues. Because of this, we ended up having to make a last-minute booking at another hotel, return to Wave Inn, and hand back the keys.

Overall, the stay was extremely stressful and inconvenient, and unfortunately not what we expected.

Wish there was food and drinks available on site, but they do give you a baggie with snack goodies. Parking is tight, and 20 dollars a day. Room was clean and location was great!

The staff was so welcoming and helpful. From check in with Carol to help from Christine and check out with I believe John. Bed was comfortable, loved the fire pits outside in the courtyard. Short walk to cannery row and all the local shops and restaurants.

The room had leaks all over the place. We went when it was raining. Front entryway of the room was soaked about 2 ft out, which got my duffle bag/ clothes wet that were near the closet on the floor. Cooler leaked rain water all over the floor and made the carpet wet in that area too. Parking garage drain is clogged so the parking garage started flooding, my shoes and feet were soaked getting to the car. The only redeeming thing is that we asked for extra towels and a pack and play and they brought it no problem. The bed was also comfy.

Very friendly and welcoming staff, great location. Only negatives were the rooms were a little loud and you could hear other guests quite clearly. Could also do with some new baby cots (pack and plays) as they’re a little worn and not great.

The staff was awesome- warm, friendly and helpful. The location is great and the room was very comfortable and spotless to boot. The gas fire pits and noon check out cap it off as a new favorite of mine. Will definitely stay there again on my next Monterey trip.
