Our stay at Monterey Bay Lodge was a letdown from the start. The receptionist, as the first point of contact, set the tone—and unfortunately, it wasn’t a good one. She looked miserable, as if she didn’t want to be there, and made no effort to be welcoming. No “please” or “thank you,” just a cold, disinterested attitude that carried over when we later called reception. Our room was on the ground level, and the guests above arrived around midnight, making noise until 2 AM—so much for a restful stay. While the room itself was clean, it was seriously dated. The bathroom was freezing, with no heating, and the only heater in the room barely made a difference. Overall, this place was disappointing—noisy, outdated, and lacking in hospitality. A warm welcome and some basic courtesy would have gone a long way, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t there.

The room was clean and cute. They had a lil garden area outside with a fireplace. Pool was heated but jacuzzi not available after sunset. Was a close walk to beach and wharf . Not a far drive from tide pools which were amazing . standard room had a cute patio area right by pool . I booked room on expedia and in description said the basic room had a fireplace , but upon check in was told my room didn’t have one . One of the reasons I booked this lodge was for fireplace in room and lodge was unable to accommodate to changing to room with a fireplace.

The property was clean and quiet. If you are a light sleeper request an upstairs room. We stayed downstairs and we could hear the movement and footsteps of the people upstairs. The room was clean, bed was comfortable enough. The pillows were a bit flat, but for the low pricing you get what you pay for. Overall I would stay here again if I was looking to save. The location is pretty nice as there is a bit park with a pond right across the street.

The room was very clean. The property was easy to find and conveniently located. Everything we wanted to do was within 10 minutes. We went to the wharf and aquarium. There is a nice kids park across the street from the lodge. A walkable distance. I will be staying there again next time I’m in town. I also brought my pet, there was an extra $40 charge but that’s expected. Wish the beds were firmer, but that’s more of a personal preference.

Fantastic stay! I was very happy with the location - walkable to attractions (including a great walking path, park, and beach access), convenient, and safe. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Parking was easy. Not too noisy. The courtyard along with pool and hot tub was charming. Microwave, refrigerator, and coffee & tea in room were a nice perk. Very happy with this budget friendly property, and will return next time I'm in town.
