When travelling to Monterey, California in the United States, it can be tempting to choose a 4 star hotel. After all, they promise luxurious amenities and a pampered experience. However, for those looking to truly experience all that Monterey has to offer, it might be worth considering staying at a 3 or 2 star hotel instead.
3 and 2 star hotels in Monterey offer unbeatable value for money. They often include free breakfast and parking, as well as free wifi. What’s more, many of them are located in the heart of the city, close to all the best attractions.
4 star hotels, on the other hand, can be quite expensive. For the same price, or even less, travellers can enjoy a room at a 3 or 2 star hotel that is much more spacious and centrally located.
3 and 2 star hotels also offer a more authentic Monterey experience. They are often smaller and more family-run, giving guests a more personal experience. 4 star hotels can feel a little impersonal in comparison.
So, if travellers are looking to save money and experience all that Monterey has to offer, they should consider staying at a 3 or 2 star hotel.
