I treated myself to a suite with sea view and I will NEVER forget the view. This stands as my favorite hotel to this day, and I can’t wait to come back. It was everything I needed in my life at the end of a very long trip. The staff were extremely nice, very professional and easy going. They delivered breakfast to my room and just made me feel very welcome! Hopefully coming back next year, to the same room.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is spectacular!

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is spectacular! Give your self a good 3 to 4 hours to explore at your leisure. Our grandson (age 2) couldn't get enough of it. He also thoroughly enjoyed the "Dennis the Menace" Park. The Cannery which is next door to the Aquarium is fun place to browse and enjoy lunch at one of the nearby restaurants. Fisherman's Wharf has turned into a tourist trap over the years so I would not recommend it.

The purpose of our visit was to spend time with family nearby. Restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops are all accessible by car or public transport, but parking and traffic can be challenging in some neighborhoods. SC offers several nice places to walk and view the ocean. The University of California campus is on the edge of town, a short drive from the city center.

Carmel by the sea is a lovely town full of restaurants and shopping places. The characteristic of Carmel is that at night time there are no street lights, lights comes from the restaurants and the stores open till late. It is a very charming town , must see it. The beach close by is beautiful and it was 20 minutes walking from our hotel

We have many favorites in the Pacific Grove area.

We have many favorites in the Pacific Grove area. We love the ocean, beaches, sea life, tidepooling, sunsets, restaurants, the aquarium and point lobos. Point Lobos needs to re examine the entrance process and parking. The rangers were not accomodating and a little rude as we arrived at the station. Unfortunately, we were unable to enter any of the days we visited, even with an early arrival. This has always been a highlight when we visit, we were quite disappointed.

Marina is a beautiful little town just north of Monterey.

Marina is a beautiful little town just north of Monterey. With CSUMB right there, there are a number of stores and restaurants typical of a college town. Monterey is just a short drive away but Marina is quiet without the hustle and crowds. Daddy's City Diner is a great place to start your day with a hearty breakfast! Stop by Baker's Bacon for some fresh, tasty bacon, sausage and cheese. Take some candied bacon with you for a wonderful snack.

Everything you need for a Roadside Hotel.

Everything you need for a Roadside Hotel. Outside and property was well maintained, clean and landscaped. Room was well appointed and for the most part really clean. I very much appreciate a laminate floor vs. carpet that you know is never clean. Had a a nice sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, ice machine. Area has grocery stores and restaurants in the area that you can walk to. (Just avoid the Mexican place across the street, unless you want some stomach upset! Trust me you'll thank me!) Again, was everything you needed and will book again for my Concours stay next year! Thank you!

Capitola offers many good restaurants, and plenty of beaches to visit. We went to the Moss Landing slew one day to watch the numerous birds. We ate at Cafe Cruz, and several other restaurants. We are not exactly a young couple, so we mostly like eating good food, and gazing at the Pacific. The weather was bright and sunny.

I went to Aptos for one night to attend an anniversary party. I have visited the area several times and never found it very appealing as it is very crowded, traffic can be horrendous, and the public beaches that are easily accessible are not very beautiful. I much prefer Monterey or Half Moon Bay or Northern California area beaches for scenic beauty. The party was held at Bittersweet Bistro in Aptos, however, which is a restaurant I do highly recommend if you go to Aptos, the food was wonderful!

So much wildlife, we loved it.

So much wildlife, we loved it. The sea lions were hilarious, all piled on docks at the harbor, and it seemed like a real working town, not a fake touristy spot. And do visit the Shakespeare Society of America in Moss Landing. What a hoot! Can't really explain it but see for yourself. We ate at Sea Harvest and the Thai restaurant near the inn, both adequate and inexpensive. I was stoked to visit Pezzini Farms and I will be ordering heritage artichokes from them this spring. Whale Watch Point right across from the harbor was fun just to chill and stare at the sea lions and so many pelicans.
