The Stevenson Monterey

The Stevenson Monterey

10/10 Excellent
"The Stevenson is a basic, no-frills motel that works well for a short stay in Monterey. A big plus is the free parking, and the room has all the basic amenities you need. That said, the rooms feel a bit dated and dingy, the lighting isn’t great, and it doesn’t appear to have been recently renovated. It was perfectly fine for our one-night stay and served its purpose, but I’d keep expectations realistic if you’re looking for something more modern or comfortable."
