Top Central Coast California Hotel Reviews

The Monterey Hotel

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good
"We had a king suite, that had been refurbished and it had a lot of charm. The bathroom was large and the water pressure excellent. It had a refrigerator, and in room coffee as well downstairs. It is very centrally located to restaurants, Walgreens, a brewery with excellent beers and on Tuesday night there is a Farmer's Market with many different things for sale lbesides food, like Jewelry, children's clothes, pastries, canned sauces, kitchen towels, ponchos, and purses. It is a historic Hotel. They have electric Heater and/or a gas fireplace to warm you and a fan in your room to cool you if you are too warm. It is never too warm near the ocean. ."
