Accommodation in Monterey

Fine examples of slightly more premium places to stay in or near Monterey are the L Auberge Carmel, Monte Verde at Seventh, and the Carmel Valley Ranch, One Old Ranch Road. If those two don't quite match your requirements, the Best Western Carmel's Town House Lodge or the Magic Carpet Lodge are two more budget-friendly places that might hit the right note for you.

If you are in town for just one night and only have time for Monterey's must-see attractions, you might find it more convenient to stay at the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa or the InterContinental the Clement Monterey, which are both situated nearby Monterey Bay Aquarium.
