Loved our stay at Monterey Bay Lodge! The location is absolutely amazing, and the room was beautiful with a really nice romantic vibe. The only minor thing was the lack of AC, which felt a bit surprising at first, but honestly, with the local weather, it wasn't a big deal at all. Overall, a wonderful place for a getaway. Great atmosphere, fantastic location, and a super pleasant stay. Would definitely come back!

Room was very basic but had everything we needed, including a fan. There was no ac in our room, but with the window open and the fan on, it was quite comfortable. It was about a 10 min walk to Fishermans wharf where we were able to catch the free trolley into cannery and the aquarium. After a long day, the hot tub was very relaxing. Overall, would stay here again if I find myself back in Monterey.
