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.
