Fireplace in every room. Snuggle up with a good e-book for the evening. (Who uses paper anymore?)

This place made American Historic Inns’ 10 Most Romantic Inns in America’ list. And we heartily concur.

Sizable suites are sweet indeed with separate living areas and fully equipped kitchens.

Spot-on location puts you steps from the biggies like downtown, Cannery Row and Old Fisherman’s Wharf – plus tons of dining options.

A more or less five-minute drive to the beachfront, Fisherman's Wharf and great array of eateries.

Chill Salinas location close to Monterey attractions.

Continental breakfast for those mornings you just need three pastries, okay?

An oceanfront locale with beach access, a rooftop hot tub and private balconies. Like!

Set your alarm: every night at 5:30, there’s free wine and cheese in the lobby.

Kites and hang-gliders and sand dunes. Oh, my! Hard to find a better spot, just off scenic Highway 1 and around the bend from Marina State Beach.

The continental breakfast serves up the two sacred Cs: carbs and caffeine.

Directly on the Pacific just north of the peninsula, so you can play in the surf and with some local residents (like, say, seals).

Elegant rooms boast hardwood floors, fireplaces and decor reflecting the spot's rich history.

In old town Monterey, a short drive to Cannery Row, the Aquarium and Carmel.

Tucked away in a chill residential 'hood, yet less than a 15-min flip flop to Del Monte Beach (a local hidden gem, btw).
