The stay was okay overall, however there was trashes under the couch, and fur on the couch. The ac turns on by itself when it’s off but works perfectly fine. Had some few yellow stain on the blanket. But me and my husband did love the body wash scent, and would love to know where you guys get it! Have a good day

We stayed at Red Lion Hotel in Monterey one night. It is located close to freeway exit and convenient. Although a photo of a restaurant in the hotel is shown on the website, it has not been open since Covid. However, there is a shopping mall right next to the hotel where there are great restaurants. Also, there is Whole Foods right there where you can get nice meal to go. We stayed with our dog (additional $30/dog per night) in a dog-friendly room. The room was larger than we thought, and the bed was comfortable for all of us.

Excellent staff! Convenient location close to shops & restaurants. I’ve stayed here twice and there always seems to be some strange people hanging around in the parking lot. I haven’t experienced any issues but it’s a little unsettling. Overall it’s a decent place to lay your head at the end of a fun day exploring Monterey.
