The Stevenson Monterey

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent
"Good central location hotel. Clean room, lot of upgrades were made, shower was nice and had comfortable bed. My only problem was No Milk or Half & Half down at the lobby by the coffee machine. Most small hotels/motels provide a little breakfast to start the day but this hotel does not. The lease you can do is buy 2-3 gallons of milk for $20 for your guest to enjoy a good cup of coffee and not use this horrible powder."
