Great experience

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa
The adjoining room door was next to the bed. Very poor sound proofing. The next room’s conversations at normal tones sounded like they were in our room. They talked until 2:45AM. The hotel clerk did make note of it the next morning when I reported it. Hopefully they will fix the problem.

Unique Off-Grid experience with Stunning Views Close to Wine Tasting
Great place in the woods. Perfect for a couple. Cozy with beautiful views and lovely animal to greet you. Great hikes nearby. It is to note that it is 20 minutes from town and the roads are going through the mountains and can be dark at night but wasn’t a problem. Good WiFi, Smart TV.
