Merritt House Hotel
There is not one cushioned seat in the room. A bed and two wicker chairs. Every light was harsh white LED. They make soft white LEDs now. Would not stay again.

Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel & Spa
Great hotel, very quiet couldn’t hear your neighbor. I like how they had an open space available and dinner on site if you wanted to stay. We walked around the hotel and saw the beautiful golf course. Did check out the game area. Overall had a great experience.
