Monterey Beach Holiday

If you're planning to escape the hectic rush of the city, a Monterey holiday is just the ticket. There's no lack of coastal views to take in during a trip to Monterey.

"Last minute trip with my niece. This hotel was centrally located & we walked a LOT. The front desk person was exceptionally kind & allowed us to enter the room early. We ate at their restaurant this morning before checking out. Many people had their dogs with them. A great stay!"
