"L"

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property is in an excellent location. Rooms were well maintained and the staff were very helpful. I just wish the parking and resort fees we’re just baked into the price as they were only listed in Expedia but was not discussed at the time of check in and so the final bill felt a bit furtive. If there is going to be a charge then just say it up front at the time of check in."

Steinbeck Lodge

8/10 Good

"A very clean motel-helpful staff. Great price."
