Best Western Plus Beach Resort Monterey, Monterey, California
Rates: Starting at $225 per night
Our third option is the most expensive on the ist. But we promise it’ll be worth it! This beachfront hotel is perfect for those who want to explore the picturesque Pacific Coast and want to experience classic American attractions.
And while finding low-cost waterfront digs in coastal California can be a pretty big ask, we found this charming spot on the beach a pleasant surprise. If you choose to stay here, you’ll also be bordering the 18-mile-long Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail.
Once you’re done exploring, it leads you to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, San Carlos Beach, and Fisherman’s Wharf. But our favorite thing about this beachfront hotel? The 196 rooms are covered in floor-to-ceiling windows, giving you an incredible view of Monterey Bay!
