Stargazer Inn and Suites
The room was very clean and even had a gas fireplace! Sadly, the pool was being serviced, so that was a little disappointment. Staff was helpful.

The Inn at 1252
Room was very clean and nice. Location is just perfect and quiet. Only deducted one star because I had bought new socks from the mall across the way. I had them in a vans bag on the floor in my room. It said room service wouldn’t come until day 3. This was only day one. Well they took the trash along ...

Aura Inn Monterey
The room was clean and well appointed, it would have been nice to have carpeted floor in the room. The AC is noisy especially at night when there is no traffic noise. The toilet is a pressure flush which is also noisy. Other than that our stay was good.
