InterContinental the Clement Monterey by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in great location, friendly staff"

Mariposa Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"The room itself was clean with cable TV, a fireplace, a microwave and fridge and a safe. Nice bathroom setup and towels were even folded into a swan. Only complaint is the shower water pressure was a bit low but the shower head had settings to help with that. The pool was unfortunately closed for repairs during the time of my visit. Nothing really to complain about i would stay here again. i did see a rat along the fence outside during one of the nights there so hopefully those arent in any of the rooms as i saw no signs of them anywhere in ours."
