My first choice in Monterey! I am a repeat customer here, so this review comes after over three years of staying here probably around 50 nights over the three years. I come back here because the staff is family operated, and their computers save my preferences, since some rooms don't work for me, but it's in their system so every time I call, they know what rooms I prefer. They just did a remodel, and the price is still very competitive!
