The Monterey Hotel
Parkingis a challenge. Onsite valet only at the back of the buildibg for $39 a day. Public lots are nearby. Rooms are charming but ours was very warm even though it was cold outsude. No A/C in our room.

Quaint, clean and cute! About 20 min walk to cannery row. Great ice cream at scoops across the street. Quiet hotel at top of town which I prefer not to be in the thick of the tourist area
