The Stevenson Monterey

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent
"This is an old hotel but it was very clean and rooms had been updated. Staff at checkin were very friendly. Hotel was easy walking distance to a variety of restaurants. Not a lot of on site parking available so if you were running late, you might have to park on the street."

"This hotel was a diamond in the rough. It’s not a super fancy hotel, but it came with everything we needed for our one night stay. The price was right, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and there were more than enough outlets for charging all our electronics. I will definitely be staying at this hotel on our next visit! Thanks Pacific Inn for the stay."
