Monterey Bay Inn

This waterfront getaway is steps from the shops, galleries, and restaurants of Cannery Row. Guests can stroll to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Fisherman's Wharf, Lovers Point Beach, wineries, and other attractions via the Monterey Recreation Trail, a coastal walking and bicycling path right outside the hotel entrance. 17-Mile Drive begins just 2 miles away, and world-class golf is within 6 miles.

The hotel sells aquarium tickets that provide admission for 2 consecutive days for the cost of a 1-day ticket. Ticketholders are also able to bypass the long lines — a boon for guests traveling with children.

Guests enjoy complimentary continental breakfast for 2 delivered to their rooms each morning. Complimentary cookies and fruit are served in the lobby in the afternoon. The inn has 2 spa tubs, and offers complimentary wireless Internet access in both public areas and guestrooms.
