Monterey Bay Inn

We are considering Monterey Bay Inn, and we were wondering about the comfort of the second bed (pull out couch). Does anyone (who has stayed there) know if these are comfortable?

We are also willing to take in other suggestions for a week stay in July.

Thanks in advance!

The Monterey Bay Inn is known for its prime waterfront location and comfortable accommodations, but regarding the pull-out couch in the rooms, feedback from past guests is mixed. Many report that the main beds are very comfortable, while the pull-out couch can be somewhat firm or slightly uneven. For short stays, children or smaller adults usually find it acceptable, but for taller adults or for multiple nights, it might not be ideal for sleeping.

If you are planning a week-long stay in July and want to maximize comfort, here are some alternative options in Monterey:

  • InterContinental The Clement Monterey – Offers rooms with bay views and highly rated beds; some suites have sofa sleepers that are considered more comfortable than average.
  • Spindrift Inn – Boutique hotel with oceanfront rooms; pull-out couches are occasionally available, but many guests prefer booking a room with two beds for comfort.
  • Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay – Centrally located near Cannery Row; rooms have standard beds and some suites have sofa sleepers that are generally rated better than typical pull-outs.
  • Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa – Oceanfront rooms with larger suites that may include pull-out beds; many guests comment on the high-quality mattress on these sofa beds.

Tips for your stay:

  • For longer stays, request a room with two standard beds if possible, especially if the pull-out couch might be used by adults.
  • Booking early in July is recommended, as Monterey is busy during summer.
  • Check directly with the hotel to confirm the type and comfort level of the pull-out bed in your specific room type.

Overall, Monterey Bay Inn is a lovely choice for location and views, but if sleeping arrangements are a priority, exploring alternative hotels with high-rated pull-out beds or additional standard beds may enhance your week-long stay.
