“The Monterey Hotel stands out for its prime downtown location, a distinct advantage for exploring the area. While some rooms in the older tower are compact and lack air conditioning, the comfortable beds and updated bathrooms provide essential comforts. I especially note the attentive staff, which enhances the experience despite limited daily housekeeping.”
