The room was clearly recently remodeled and was clean. I loved the whole bathroom (again, everything new) but especially the gorgeous shower and the dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and body wash- good products and reduces plastic waste. Large, comfortable king size bed and effective but not too noisy room heater. They allowed me an extra hour checkout at noon) for no fee- 2 hours would have been $15. There was good in-room coffee, a desk a larger than normal fridge, and always someone at the desk if I needed anything. Large tv but I didn’t use it, so I can’t vouch for channels. Reliable wifi. Parking next to room and walking distance to downtown. Room 17, April 2023. I enjoyed everything about this small but perfect stay. I will definitely stay here again.

Nice stay at the Inn By The Bay in Monterey. Great location as the inn is close to everything you need. Several restaurants and stores are close, and the attractions are within a short driving range. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Great value hotel.

My girlfriend and I booked a last minute Fourth of July weekend trip at Inn by the Bay with our dog and we had an awesome experience. The family that manages the Front desk was very friendly and accommodating. And we were very impressed by the room, it was clean and had everything we needed. This is a dog-friendly place and there is even a park right across the street for your dog to do it’s business. The Inn was a short walk from downtown Monterey and the Wharf with many restaurants, stores, and a gas station close by. I would definitely recommend

I wanted to like this place....I really did. The staff was very nice and the bed was comfortable, but that's the only good thing I have to say about it. The room is very small. It felt very pieced together. It wants to be updated and maybe its on its way, but it just felt sad. The bathroom was small and dirty. There was hair in the shower (YUCK) when we arrived. The walls are SUPER THIN! At 4am in the morning, the room above us was having some sort of furniture moving party for over an hour and a half. It made our walls and windows shake. We barely slept. This wasn't worth the money we saved from staying at a nicer place. I have learned my lesson.

I can only assume that these somewhat better reviews are for different rooms than we had! DON’T play Russian Roulette with your stay because their bad rooms are the worst we’ve ever had to deal with. We left in the middle of the night because we couldn’t stand it and they would not refund our money because we didn’t tell them we were leaving first….. It was 2AM! No one was in the office! We called first thing! They hung up on the Hotels.com operator as well. Reprehensible customer service. If you are going to stay there, make sure your tetanus shot is up to date.

We were celebrating a birthday. Our room had no carpet or rug, we stepped out of bed on to a cold grey tiled floor. The walls were grey. The headboard was black strips across the wall. There were no bedside lamps, just overhead can spotlights. No chest of drawers. No table and chairs. Peeling paint on the door outside. It felt like a prison. We left as soon as we could. Worst travel experience ever.

this was just an overnight stay and the room was large and clean, bed comfy and bathroom spotless. However the cleaner hadn't checked the fridge and there was food in there that smelt like it had been there for some time. Like most hotels in the US there is very little sound proofing the neighbours were really super loud and had the TV blaring away. The location is good, short walk to everything and the free parking is a real bonus. There didn't appear to be aircon so imagine in the summer it would be hot and it was cold in the room in Feb

Lovely Inn right on the bay with wonderful views across the ocean and particularly of the wildlife. (Thoughtful binoculars in the room to enhance your views which are plentiful). Room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and large bathroom. Nice sitting area right by the window. Breakfasts bought to your room - pre ordered the night before. Adequate for our needs and always a bonus to have breakfast included. Free parking again another bonus as parking can be expensive in some hotels/inns. Lovely walks right outside the Inn with a plethora of restaurants to choose from. Ideally situated if you also want to visit Carmel which is a short drive away. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We loved the laid back vibe in Monterey and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Nice cozy, clean renovated rooms.
The bathroom was nice & updated. The bed was comfy.
Really like the blinds/shutter on the windows. So easy & useful.
Love that they had tile floors in our room. Carpet floors in hotels are always ‘iffy’ to me.
Office staff were very nice. Ample parking in the back
Close to downtown with shops and restaurants.
2 miles to Cannery row. We took an Uber (approx $15.55 not including tip)

The Inn was newly renovated with new furniture, flooring & a total re-done bathroom. Modern & comfortable. However, there was no room cleaning during our 4 day 3 night stay. The reason given was due to covid, the cleaning staff was at a minimum and it was difficult to find & hire new staff, so cleaning was only done after checkout.
Considering the price of the rooms at the Inn, this seems cheap and not worth the price.
