Once you arrive at the confluence of mystical and surreal, the question becomes: where to stay? The choices are as varied as Monterey County’s landscape. Quaint, decadent, understated, austere — which beckons you? There are 300 lodging options in Monterey County from which to choose...
Consider booking a stay at one of Monterey County’s charming bed & breakfasts. Many feature parlors with fireplaces, tranquil gardens and handsome libraries jam-packed with everything from guidebooks to Steinbeck. It’s not uncommon for these B&Bs to serve up delicious spreads every morning, as well as afternoon tea, wine-tasting with hors d’oeuvres and (in some cases) nightcaps.
Monterey County’s hotels, motels and inns range from rustic lodges and sprawling ranches perfect for romantics and families alike, to traditional properties that cater to the conventional business traveler. All offer convenience and comfort for every budget.
Monterey County’s full-service hotels and resorts are as comfortable hosting a large conference or tour group as they are a family on vacation or a couple on an anniversary getaway. These properties offer the utmost in functionality, and most have restaurants, business centers and concierges on site to look after everything a visitor could imagine.
With acres upon acres of open space, Monterey County offers plenty of places to pitch a tent or park a recreational vehicle. Some of these campgrounds and RV parks offer shower facilities, hook-ups and barbecues. Others are primitive, with nothing more than a few signs here and there. Perhaps the best part about camping and RVing in Monterey County are the backdrops: ocean and redwood views.
Sleep in comfort and economy at the Monterey hostel, where you’ll have the chance to meet fellow travelers from around the globe. After a full day of sightseeing, bed down in European dormitory-style quarters or a private family room and wake up to a complimentary breakfast!
For those visitors who’d like to stay in Monterey County for more than just a few days, vacation home rentals are a good investment. Generally speaking, this alternative is perfect for family reunions, groups of friends traveling together and those who simply prefer to have the comforts of home when they travel.
Can’t decide for yourself? Call a Monterey County reservation service to comb the selection of accommodations and find the options that best suit your needs. These services are also helpful on big event weekends, when rooms sell out quickly. Once you've secured a room, you may decide to call a special room decorator to turn your stay into one full of memories.
