Also, they mentioned there was basketball courts they were very old and no balls for us to use . Also it said there was miniature golf we did not see any clubs to be used. The beautiful scenery was a plus. We didn’t see a petting zoo. We...

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good
"This is an old classic hotel and as such has its charm and a fantastic location. However, it could need some freshening up. The floor carpets are unpleasant looking and there is no AC. Monterey weather allows for keeping windows open, the local seagulls do not. I did appreciate them allowing dogs though."

"The property was very well kept and clean but what really stood out was the decor in the lobby areas that harken back to the glory days of years ago. This gave the hotel a unique charm. The room was also spacious and very comfortable. And I got it for a really good rate. I was very impressed with the entire experience."
