The Monterey Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The amazing staff were nothing but accommodating! Asked for an upgrade and the hotelier Allison was phenomenal accommodating our requests. We told them it was our honeymoon and they brought us glasses, champagne, and chocolate, as well as a card with coupons for recommended local amenities. Both the historic part of the hotel and the new part of the hotel are charming!"
