Cutest place ever! 50's decor to go along with the Route 66 - 100 year anniversary trip we were on from Michigan, right on neon street! We each got a free token for a free drink from their lobby/bar which I've never seen a place do before 😮🍸🍸 Large room and very comfy king bed. Only .4 miles to walk to the town square. Everything was GREAT!

This was our second time staying at The Monterey, and we were in town for a concert. The staff was extremely kind and helpful with anything that we needed, and the property was in great condition! Our room was nice and clean when we walked in after a long travel day and was the perfect place to relax. The bar was great, and the parking was relatively easy. I have a large SUV (Ford Explorer), and the parking spaces were a bit tight, but if you have a smaller car than that you’ll have no issues with the size of the spaces.
