Monterey Bay Lodge

Monterey Bay Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Only stayed one night... had a comfortable stay... staff gave good instructions on how to get around street construction that was currently happening to find the Lodge parking, and to let staff know to light the firepit when we intend to enjoy it, location is across the street from the beach, near Fisherman's Wharf and noticed many people getting their steps in even with the chill in the air... don't forget the need for clothing layers..."
