Just a 2-min stroll from the Rio Del Mar beach.

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

Tucked away at the edge of a forest, yet just a few miles from all the action in Santa Cruz.

Less than 2 miles from the boardwalk. Meander at your own pace, preferably with an ice cream in hand.

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.

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

Walk to Fisherman's Wharf to see the sea lions in action (or inaction... they're usually kinda sleepy).

Friendly motel steps from the boardwalk. It's like having a roller coaster and ice cream right in your room.

In-room Keurigs, WiFi, HBO, microwaves, fridges — yeah, we see no reason to leave either.

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

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

Just a 2-min stroll from the Rio Del Mar beach.

A 5-min drive gets ya beachside.

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

Chill Salinas location close to Monterey attractions.

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

Tons of options at the complimentary hot breakfast — the only tough choice we like being faced with before noon.

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

Low-key stay for adventuring your way around the fab Monterey Bay Area. Oodles of options. Free WiFi helps you concoct a plan.

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

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.

Winning location puts you just a couple of minutes from the waterfront and Fisherman's Wharf.

The outdoor pool takes vacay vibes to new heights.

Lovely, old-school motel minutes from the heart of Monterey. Park your car and head to the pier!

Your toes are less than a 10-min walk from digging into the sand, and even closer to the outdoor pool.

Perched right(!) on(!) the Beach Boardwalk, steps from all the theme park rides, food stands and live bands.

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

Bring your furry friends along for the ride. This place is pet friendly.
