The hotel's location was excellent. Breakfast was weak, but it wasn't our priority. The afternoon wine and cheese offerings were a pleasant surprise. The hotel's free parking was a huge convenience.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

This aquarium resides where sardine factories once stood. Now, the site harbours an ocean’s worth of species. The main exhibit’s huge single-pane window is all that stands between you and four million litres of water. Watch schools of fish scuttle away from lurking sharks and lurching turtles. For fur-filled underwater acrobatics, swing by the sea otter zone at feeding time.

the aquarium is beautiful and the sea life is amazing but they don't limit the number of people in so you are packed in like sardines the whole time with people elbowing you. You have to push in and wait in lines to see every exhibit.

Took my 83 year old mother to the aquarium and we had a delightful day! Would strongly recommend arriving early! We had to make reservations before going and opted for the earliest entrance and were so happy we did because were able to get in quickly, get a wheel chair easily and had no problem manuevering around crowds. By early afternoon there were many people and we were done by 3 in the afternoon and were able to go eat down the street afterwards.

My sister and I were traveling alone and we felt very safe here. That's a huge factor when I choose a place to sleep. It was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Easy check in, easy check out, and free parking on site (no height restrictions). Kind of tight in the parking lot, but other than that, we had a great experience here. And it's very close to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium!

Very comfortable. Room a little small (we had a lot of stuff with us!) but appreciated having our own space with small fridge & bathroom. Close to restaurants, the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The common space was very handy with large shared kitchen. There were a few other older folks like us staying there, but fun to chat with the younger "kids". Parking lot was large and small cost to park of $10/night was fair.

They had a crib for my daughter set up upon arrival, safe parking in a courtyard like setting. Chairs set up in a patio area if you want to enjoy the costal weather. About a 10 minute drive to Monterey Bay Aquarium which for the price was amazing.

I loved that the location was right next to the beach area and cannary row. Such a beautiful view coming out of the location. Me and my fiancé love this place. Affordable and great location. The hotel is located right along a run/walk path and within walking distance ia a lovely café , great scenery, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is down the way. Overall, I will definitely let my family and friends know about Cannary Row Inn
