Monterey Bay Aquarium Hotel

A relaxed stay in Monterey with easy access to the bay, beaches, and historic Cannery Row.

Arbor Inn Monterey blends the ease of a roadside inn with the character of California’s central coast. Rooms are simple yet thoughtfully equipped, with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and microwaves tucked in for added convenience. A light breakfast eases guests into the day, while complimentary Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected.

The property’s pool and sun terrace offer a quiet pause between outings, whether that means an afternoon at the aquarium or a drive along the rugged Pacific coastline. Parking is free and steps from the rooms, a detail not lost on travelers balancing beach gear, golf clubs, or shopping bags. Service is straightforward, and the atmosphere leans unpretentious—comfortable enough for a short stay and practical for longer visits.

Inside, the layout is unfussy: corridors lined with clean, accessible rooms that favor function over frills. What the inn lacks in grandeur, it makes up for with proximity. Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf, Pebble Beach, and Carmel-by-the-Sea are all within a short drive, making the hotel a reliable base for exploring Monterey Bay’s highlights.
