The Stevenson Monterey

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent
"This is an old hotel but it was very clean and rooms had been updated. Staff at checkin were very friendly. Hotel was easy walking distance to a variety of restaurants. Not a lot of on site parking available so if you were running late, you might have to park on the street."
