What guests say
8.1 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 1,803 guest reviews
Monterey Bay Lodge earns consistently positive marks for its unbeatable location within walking distance of the beach, Fisherman's Wharf, and Cannery Row, along with a pleasant pool and spa area. However, it is a no-frills motel-style property with notable drawbacks: no breakfast service, no air conditioning, and occasional noise from the pool or street. Guests who prioritise location and value over amenities tend to leave satisfied.
