I didn't know that there was no AC in the room so that was a bit of a shock but we didn't need it since there was a fan and it was actually pretty cool. We loved the heated pool, hot tub and fire pits. The lit up tree in the courtyard added to the ambience. My son was super excited that housekeeping folded and set up his stuffies on the bed. I wish there were more food options around us but fisherman's wharf was just a short drive away with lot more options. The beach and playground were short walks away. We had a corner room upstairs so even though we heard the traffic sometimes, we weren't bothered by other guests as some of the other rooms may have. We probably had the best view with the lake in front and away from the pool courtyard. We took a Lyft to the aquarium and took the free trolley back. So glad we didn't drive into town as it was busy and parking would have been expensive. Location was not as close to the aquarium as we thought. We enjoyed our stay but probably would have preferred to be closer but this was more affordable.

Loved our stay at Monterey Bay Lodge! The location is absolutely amazing, and the room was beautiful with a really nice romantic vibe.
The only minor thing was the lack of AC, which felt a bit surprising at first, but honestly, with the local weather, it wasn't a big deal at all.
Overall, a wonderful place for a getaway. Great atmosphere, fantastic location, and a super pleasant stay. Would definitely come back!

We stayed for one night. The walls are paper-thin — I could clearly hear the TV, conversations from the neighboring room, and footsteps from the guests above us. I had to sleep with earplugs. The room was clean but looks a bit dated. Overall, despite of the central location in Monterey I would not recommend this motel.

The rooms smell moldy. The locks on the screen doors which is the only window don't work. There was construction across the street that started at 7:00 a.m. so ruined our stay there. We elected to leave a day early because of the noise and they refused to give us our money back for the one night. Not helpful and I wouldn't recommend staying there.

One night stay. Clean room, great staff in the office at check in. Even gave us water bottles! Comfy beds. Small shower stall. No AC. We found the back door slider was unlocked, that was scary. We got stuck in the most outer facing room, where we were closest to all the traffic where two main streets intersect, not quiet at all. Plus the upstairs guests above us decided to march up & down their room at 6am. If you want rest, peace & quiet, don't stay in room 123! Parking on that side of the complex is almost impossible to get out of, surrounding spots just too close, requires a 4 or 5 point turn to not hit anything.

1. Expedia app made you book multiple days in order to stay.
2. Given worlds smallest room, looked like converted store room, toilet leaked, no a/c.
3. Moved to larger room after 1 1/2 hours of doing work myself on phone.
4. Larger room not much larger, shower head was loose with mold or mildew built up on shower floor.
5. Could only stay 1 night they wouldn’t transfer my 3 day reservation to another room since they made me cancel it in order to move me to larger room with no leaking toilet, had to spend half next morning finding another place to stay.

Location, location, location! This hotel has a great location, close to the beach, fisherman’s wharf and Cannery Row. The grounds were really nice and tidy. It’s a quaint little hotel. The room was clean but small and very noisy. The room didn’t have an A/C unit or a fan but with the windows open there was a nice flow through the room. Which in return brought in a lot of noise from the outside. Noisy neighbors with heavy feet, you hear it all. Anyways, the price was right for the location and a place to stay.

Second time staying here. The first stay was nice. No problems at all. This stay was frustrating. We got into town an hr. early and decided to stop by to see if we could use a restroom. After explaining to the woman at the front desk we were checking in in 1 hr and that we just needed to use the restroom from our long drive she said no. I pleaded with this lady due to an emergency to please just use a restroom she showed absolutely no care or worry about my family or our need. Totally unnecessary for a paying patron to be denied. We stay in Monterey a few times a year and unfortunately we won't be booking here anymore. It's weird that a hotel would throw away guaranteed income in the future over not letting a child use the restroom. Definitely your loss..not mine.

Parking near our room was easy. The surrounding residential neighborhood was quiet and appeared to be safe. The beach is a 5-minutes walk from the lodge.
Only drawback was that the motel is on the flight path for Monterey Airport. I heard large passenger jets overhead taking off at 5 a.m. Downstairs rooms might not hear this as much.
We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning here in the future.

The Monterey Bay Lodge is the right price for what you receive. You are quite far from Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf, but there is ample parking available. The pool and lounge area are very nice, but we did not use while there. The room was quiet and the beds seemed clean as well as most of the amenities.

Unfortunately, there was black mold in the bathroom and the floors were so dirty it turned our feet black. You can always tell when they don't mop between room cleans, the floors immediately make the kids feet dirty. Outside of these two issues, we really did feel like the hotel was adequate for our quick one night stay. The staff acknowledged the issues and I hope they will be fixed.

When I first arrived, the front desk was courteous and helpful in allowing me to check-in about an hour early. However, there was construction occurring on the property and could not park in the designated area in front of my room so had to revert to street parking that was only for 2-hour increments, which was inconvenient as I had to periodically check on my vehicle and move it to make sure I wasn't ticketed until the evening hours where you are allowed to park for longer periods. In addition, there appeared to be other rooms available, but for some odd reason, I was placed in a room that was directly in front of all the construction that was extremely noisy from early morning to the late afternoon. Also, the power went out, and Wi-Fi was very intermittent throughout the stay. It is a nice hotel wedged between downtown Monterey and Seaside, which was convenient and close to the marina and plenty of restaurants. It was clean and the compound is well kept. It is a simple hotel. Parking was finally allowed my last night but overall was not a 4 of 5-star experience. The price is decent but would not likely stay again.
