"We have never been treated so well before that weekend. The hotel is beautiful, the decor is fabulous, the food was delicious and most of all the people treated us like we were royalty! My husband woke up the morning of our anniversary and the first thing he said was, "this was the best anniversary we've ever had." - Divadelights, Sacramento

"My best friend and I arrived in Monterey -- driving through on our trip from Seattle to San Diego... We were greeted by the most amazing staff, all very friendly and helpful. And freshly baked cookies too!! We were soon on our way to our 'digs' -- a beautifully appointed room awaited us. I couldn't wait to take a hot shower and enjoy a glass of California Red on the balcony -- enjoying the sites and sounds of Monterey Bay... what a view!" - ualkieran, Dearborn
