Where to stay that is reasonable priced?

Hi, we will be coming to Monterey next summer. We will stay in San Francisco a few nights, then head down to Monterey and places in between. Where would be a reasonably priced hotel to stay? We could even stay on the outskirts of Monterey as we will have our SUV if that is more reasonably priced. We would like to find something $150 or lower but nice and clean. 2 Beds. We always figure the room is only to sleep in and hate to spend alot on that and would rather spend our money doing fun things. :)TIA

We were happy at the Howard Johnson express on Munras Avenue. Basic for sure, but nice and clean and a decent location. In San Francisco we like Columbus Motor Inn because it%26#39;s nice and clean %26amp; parking is included in the rate.

Thank you, I will check the HOJO out. Columbus Inn is what I have been looking at for San Francisco. The free parking does help. We will be driving from Eastern WA.

I would recommend either the Monterey Beach Resort or Monterey Lodge. Both should be in your price range, and they are both nice, comfortable places. The Beach Resort is the only lodging located directly on the beach, and they often offer specials--less so in the summer, of course, but it pays to book early. If you%26#39;re thinking about going to the aquarium, both offer aquarium packages that can save you quite a bit of money.

I would also recommend the Columbus Inn in North Beach in San Francisco. They have free, covered parking, are within walking distance of Fisherman%26#39;s Wharf and there are several good breakfast restaurants within three or four blocks.

This part of Columbus Avenue, by the way, is a pretty tree-lined stretch.

We usually stay in Union Square because we have season theater tickets, but when the conventions filled up the hotels we tried the Columbus Inn, and I recommend it.

Another vote for the Monterey Beach Resort, it is so nice being right on the ocean, great for evening or morning walks. The hotel has nicely appointed rooms, a restaurant on-site which is pretty good and a nice outdoor pool area. Snacks are set out in the lobby in the afternoon and they offer a beverage service at the bar there. The lobby is beautiful with full oceanviews and a fireplace. Have fun at the coast! :)

Thanks for all your great suggestions. Just a question. Is the Monterey Beach Resort listed on hotels under Best Western Beach Resort Monterey? This is all I can find.

Yes, same place. :)

That%26#39;s the one, momof5boys.

It%26#39;s the ONLY hotel in Monterey directly on the beach. I have stayed there twice in years past and enjoyed it both times. Loved hearing the roar of the ocean as I fell asleep. It%26#39;s also a short drive into Monterey from this location.

Thanks!! I just looked it up and it keeps saying no availability to get pricing. I also went to the Best Western home page too, and get no availability. Surely they can%26#39;t be booked up already for July 2009. Do you think maybe they just don%26#39;t take reservations online this far in advance, and that%26#39;s why it says that?
