Monterey is an affordable alternative to staying in Carmel. Monterey Bay Inn was a beautiful hotel with continental breakfast delivered to your door each morning. Highly recommend to stay in the Monterey/Carmel area

Things didn't work
Great location and view, but the room had not been checked to see if everything was working properly. The heating and cooling device did not work, so we had to sleep with the balcony door open to cool the room, but that brought smells, noise and a pesky fly into the room. Also,the bedside lamps did not work and the Kuerig did not work. Plus, parking at $28 - yikes.

The room was clean and ready for an early check in for us. Waters for us in the fridge. Everything was very inviting. We've stayed here several times and this time was exactly what we've come to expect. Light, airy, ready for relaxation.

This is a nice place at the very beginning of cannery row so it’s a bit of a walk but doable. It needs some updating it’s a bit worn. No room service but a small breakfast of pastry fruit coffee yogurt milk and juice are available and delivered to your room. When we arrived there was a bottle of sparkling wine with glasses to enjoy as an anniversary which was nice. Beautiful views.
