Hotels

BTW, while in Monterey we stayed at the Clarion Hotel. Not bad and quite reasonable. As a rule, there are 2 star and 4 star motels in Monterey, not much in between. The Clarion is older (40's) but clean. They had a very nice breakfast everyday in the sun room (waffles, muffins, bagels, pastries, coffee, o.j.) and a serviceable pool and hot tub. We looked at the Otter (http://www.otterinn.com/Otter/) which was a little more shabby put within walking distance of the down town (Cannery Row and Aquarium). Next time I may check to see what special events are scheduled as the AT&T Pro-Am golf tournament had much of the hotel space booked.
