Comfortable Stay

The spacious bedroom had a bed that was so cozy, I found myself sleeping deeper than usual. The Roku TV setup allowed us to unwind in the evening with our favorite shows. It truly felt like a home away from home.

On-Site Café

The connected café served some good breakfast options. The coffee was freshly brewed and the pastries melted in my mouth. It was the perfect start to our day without needing to venture far.

8.6/10

My stay at the Monterey Bay Lodge was truly enjoyable, marked by its convenient location just a short walk from the beach and characterized by a clean and cozy atmosphere. The room was spacious and comfortable, contributing to a restful night’s sleep. While the dining options next door were decent, I found them a bit pricy for what was offered. Overall, this place provides good value for the money, making it a solid choice for travelers.
