“The Inn At 1252 Monterey strikes me as a practical choice for families, especially with those flexible suite options and its eco-friendly approach, something I always appreciate; its Munras Avenue location also puts you within easy reach of attractions, though that parking lot turn can be tricky, from what I've heard. Its heated outdoor pool is a definitive plus, promising year-round relaxation. All told, it's a solid base for exploring Monterey.”
