Property
This is a quintessential beach hotel, directly on the beach of one of the most beautiful bays in California. If you want to fall asleep to the lulling sound of the waves at an affordable price, then this is a good pick in Monterey. This hotel has been recently remodeled and has small fridges in each room, room service, and an outdoor heated pool.

Location
This hotel is located right on a long stretch of beach on Monterey Bay. It is 3 miles from Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. It is not within walking distance to other restaurants or shops. There is a restaurant on-site with a nice view and a menu for the sensitive palates of the under-12 crowd.

Sleeps
2-4.  No suites available.

Highlights
After all the sightseeing, there is no better place to have kids burn off steam than at a beach. We spotted some dolphins, otters and sea lions during one of our strolls on the beach.

Good to know
There are a few added charges: parking fee, resort fee, and pet fee. Because it is an older property, the rooms are smaller and not very soundproofed. To avoid some of the noise, try not to get rooms under the ballroom.
