The Monterey Hotel

The Monterey Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The King Suite rooms with fireplaces are wonderful. Very spacious, we could stay there for a long time. The location is perfect and walking distance to fisherman’s wharf and many good restaurants. The free trolly stop is just around the corner and so easy to use. Only a mile and a half from the Aquarium. Can’t wait to go back!!"
