The hotel has been recently remodeled and our room was very nice inside. We would have enjoyed our stay except that the walls were paper thin and we could hear our neighbors on both sides do everything. Even normal conversations were easy to hear. One side didn't quiet down until 1:30 in the morning. The other neighbor didn't quiet down... more

I needed some R&R and wanted to stay in a hotel where I could hear the ocean, but did not cost an arm and a leg. I stayed two nights and was not disappointed. I read the reviews here and some people did not like that the door opens to the outside like a motel, rather than to a hallway.... more

My mother and I stayed here the night before we were going to visit the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We were pleasantly surprised when we entered the lobby. Very pretty with an elaborate water feature wall. The front desk clerk was very friendly and personable. The room is lovely. When you first walk in the room, the smell of new carpet... more

Stayed in BWMI mid April. It looked like there were some renovations in progress for the summer season that we weren't made aware of at time of booking.

Very nice location for site seeing, we visited the the Bay and drove Big Sur (a must) could not get by the golf course (PB) as a tournament was starting. more

Hotel was clean. It is not walking distance to the aquarium or Fisherman's Wharf as stated in comments, especially if you have small children. There are paper thin walls in the room and if you are in a room facing the street, you can hear every vehicle and person checking in. The location was near a mall, however, the mall... more

We had not expected to stay at this hotel, but our Santa Cruz reservations fell through. Cindy at Monterey Bay Lodge referred us to this hotel and it was perfect for this family of four. Close to downtown, but very, very quiet. Only the foot steps on the floor above were noticed. The kids loved the heated pool and spa.... more

Overall, there are no words to say how beautiful the view, how clean the room was, overall experience was amazing. I will recommend it for others. Close to shopping, NPS, shopping, etc... The ocean view room we had was very tranquil, and cannot be topped. A glass of wine overlooking the ocean, pricless, really!!! more
