Inn By the Bay Monterey

The property wasn’t far from Monterey bay aquarium for our planned trip. The room was amazingly beautiful the way it was decorated. Communication from the front office was great. Everyone was mainly quiet that stood there.

The location was exceptional. This location seems to be owned by a family, and they were all wonderful. They provided extra towels and made sure to meet any need I had. This isn't a major hotel chain, and I love supporting small businesses. During my stay I witnessed them doing maintenance and keeping up with the property. You can tell some recent renovations have been done, and its awesome they are pet friendly even though we did not bring one. The parking lot filled up at night and honestly didn't hear anything from any neighbors and we were on the ground floor. The bed was comfortable, shower pressure great, loved that you could connect to the smart TV, nice sized miniature fridge, full sized ironing board and nice wardrobe space. Would have liked more hangers for longer stays. Its a great location to get around in and parking was always available. If you go in with realistic expectations you'll be happy here. Its super cute and minimalistic. The room had bumps and bruises but that's expected from people traveling, it doesn't bother me but some people are...Karen's and have weird expectations. Overall, had an amazing experience and would stay here again in a heart beat if we travel back.

Quick and efficient check-in service and my special requests were kindly granted. I appreciated the easy parking adjacent to stairwell access to upstairs room. Room was spacious and very clean with comfortable king size bed and bedding. Attractive bathroom with excellent hot water for showering. All amenities functioned well (including heat and fan).

Location was ideal for us to visit the harbour and downtown area. We were checked in very quickly by a friendly staff member and when we asked to change room (due to barking dog in the room next door) it was dealt with quickly and efficiently and with understanding of the reason for our request.

Very nicely updated, beautiful bathrooms. Unfortunately the key cards did continuously stop working. You also really really need to slam your door closed or it will fly open. However the staff was very helpful and accommodating to everythinf we needed and they accept dogs! Great location as well! Would stay again
