Carmel Bay View Inn
We had a room on the 4th floor and had a nice view of the downtown and ocean! Room was clean, but there were some ants in the bathroom and we’d occasionally spot one or two near the furniture near the patio.

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay
The staff member who checked us in early was so kind to my children and wanted us to have a great time. Our room was very nice and bright! The hotel is so close to the warf and lots of food. It made it very easy with kids not having to get in and out of a car.
