We had an excellent stay for two nights. It’s a short drive to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and we enjoyed the pool, and reception time with drinks & snacks. (We had Cabernet and vodka/orange juice plus other choices. Kids had free Shirley temples) The morning breakfast was the best, and there are tons of food choices nearby. Chilis and In and out are across the street, and the food at the hotel was delicious. I Enjoyed the clam chowder, and kids enjoyed the flat bread pizza. We brought our dog, and it was convenient to walk him outside although I wish there was grass. There is a park walking distance to walk your pets. I would highly recommend!
