The Monterey Hotel

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good
"This old hotel is very charming and in an excellent location. Everything is good, except a mucky smell in the room. Don't know if it's due to the previous guest had a pet or the age of the house. Housekeeping very quickly brought a can of air freshener. That helped a bit."
