BEST WESTERN PARK CREST INN, Monterey

The hotel is centrally positioned for exploring Monterey's main attractions. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is 3 km away, and Cannery Row is about 3 km (a 5-8 minute drive). Downtown Monterey, with its shops and restaurants, is a short drive or a 10-15 minute walk. The beach is about 2 km away. Several dining options including Jack in the Box, The Wild Plum, and Heirloom Pizza are within 0.5 km. Parking is free and available right outside the room, making it easy to come and go.

Accommodation options include double rooms (1 bed), quadruple rooms (2-3 beds), and suites. All rooms are equipped with a coffee machine, microwave, refrigerator, ironing facilities, hairdryer, and a direct dial telephone. The rooms are generally spacious and clean, with some recently renovated. Soundproofing between rooms and floors is limited, so noise from neighbours or outside can be heard. Road-facing or upper-floor rooms may be noisier. Some rooms have windows in the bathroom. A limited number of rooms offer a partial view of the water, though none have balconies. The property is a two-storey motel-style layout with no elevator; upper-floor rooms require stairs.

The breakfast buffet includes hot options such as scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage (rotating daily), waffles, tater tots, oatmeal, and a variety of cereals, pastries, breads, yogurts, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, and juice. The breakfast area can become crowded, and outdoor seating is available when weather permits. No on-site restaurant or bar is present, but several fast-food and casual dining options are within a short walk or drive.

The outdoor swimming pool is heated during the warmer months (typically April to October), while the hot tub is open all year. Both are accessible from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The pool area includes sun loungers, beach umbrellas, and a fence for safety. The pool is saltwater. The hotel also has a golf course (within 3 km) available at an additional charge.
