Overview

Monterey Bay Lodge sits across from Lake El Estero and is steps from Monterey State Beach, it places visitors only a short and enjoyable walking distance from the downtown district, including Fisherman’s Wharf. Hop in the car and in five minutes, a guest of the hotel is at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, while other popular attractions like Del Monte Beach, the Naval Postgraduate School, and the Golden State Theater are nearby. Around an hour from the Mineta San Jose International Airport, this hotel is ideal for leisure and business travelers alike.

This pet-friendly hotel is also appealing for more than its amazingly scenic location. While it sits along Camino Aquajito and above the beach, the hotel itself has such luxurious amenities as a free-form pool and spa in a uniquely designed courtyard, large gardens full of mature plantings, free parking, 24-hour front desk, a full business services center, a ticketing desk for local attractions, and a popular snack bar. The Bay Café and Cantina features local specialties and a full beer and wine selection.

The 46 rooms are a great match to the rest of the property and range in size from family rooms and suites to standard rooms. Some rooms have fireplaces, full kitchens, patios or terraces, and spa tubs. All rooms have premium entertainment systems with cable TV, free Wi-Fi, microwaves, mini-fridges, hot beverage stations, and large baths stocked with signature toiletries.

When you want a great location and home-like surroundings, the Monterey Bay Lodge is a great choice.
