We were looking for a dog-friendly property so we chose this one. The dog-friendly rooms have nice floors, not carpet, for easy cleaning, and everything was very clean. The room was very small, with the sink counter tucked partially behind a half-wall, and the microwave and coffee maker were placed on top. The fridge was underneath the sink counter. The bathroom was a small room with the toilet and shower and a door which you could barely close if sitting on the toilet. The bed was fairly comfortable and the pillows were just ok. There was a large, flat screen tv mounted on the wall facing the bed, and it had cable, so that was a plus! Housekeeping was great, and check-in and check-out was a breeze. I would love to see this hotel have some upgrades and remodeled rooms because the location is great! Just across the street is a lake with a lovely walking trail, and the neighborhood is really cute. Both were great places to walk the dog. It’s walking distance to some nice restaurants and breweries as well, and very close to the walking trail along the ocean. Overall, we had a nice stay.

Property was a clean old school style motor lodge. Convenient location. Could walk to beach and Fishermans wharf. However, did not like the gas station across the street.

Pretty much all tourist sites are within walking distance. The street to the west can be a bit loud at night. Overall, I can recommend a stay at the Monterey Bay Lodge.

Conveniently located to the Aquarium, but next to a gas station and a busy road. Also, there is no air conditioning, and your sliding door opens onto the building's walkway, so you can't sleep with the door open.

The location of the property was very convenient. Easy access from highway, Centrally located to drive to Aquarium, Point Lobos, Carmel, kayaking at Moss Landing. However this is motel with a pricepoint of a high end hotel. Accomodations dated, laminate chipping, sink chipped, painting needs to freshend up. Our room door opened to look at gas station.

The staff at the reception is excellent (I do not remember his name but he is outstanding. 5 stars for him). The hotel is simple but fair enough, with everything and clean and in order. The room did not have air conditioner but we did not need it because it was a cool night.

Great location for beach walks and access to fisherman’s wharf area. Nice rooms with amenities like mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Decent bathroom amenities. Beds and pillows are a little too firm (compared to places with pillow top mattresses.) Friendly staff, easy check in. Would stay again if immediate walking access to downtown isn’t the priority.
