The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was nice, the people were very friendly in the location was excellent. It was slightly dilapidated and not extremely clean and the amenities were OK, water was readily available. The ice machine was in the basement. The hot tub was in the basement and usable only by reservation and half the hotel has lived in by permanent residence, but the location is excellent and our stay was overall quite nice."

Spyglass Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff , great customer service ."
