The Monterey Hotel
Room was clean and cozy. Staff were friendly and helpful. I liked the location, there was so much within walking distance.

The Stevenson Monterey
The parking was very secure in a garage under the hotel. They obviously power wash this area. I spoke with the maintenance guy and he confirmed they power wash it a lot.
