Springhill Suites The Dunes On Monterey Bay
$180-260 / ღამეში
დაჯავშენე ეს თუ You want a sparkling new, spacious basecamp for a Monterey road trip without paying Cannery Row prices.
რატომ უყვართ ხოლმე
- Free parking (a rarity in this region)
- Spacious all-suite layout with West Elm decor
- Indoor heated pool that's actually warm
სწრაფი გადახედვა: It’s a glorified highway stop, but it’s the nicest, cleanest, most stylish highway stop you’ll ever stay at.
გადამოწმებული @travelswithbrandy-ის მიერ: I was pleasantly surprised by how relaxing this spot was for a quick business trip. My room was super clean with a great desk, but the highlight was definitely grabbing a drink by the fire pits at sunset. It’s super convenient to the highway but feels like a nice little escape.

Reality check
The 'ocean view' is distant and comes with a side of Highway 1 traffic noise.
- You are on a Pacific Coast Highway road trip
- You need a sofa bed and microwave for the kids
- You refuse to pay $50/night for parking in Monterey

ოთახის გენი
საუკეთესო არჩევანი
- Top floor (4th floor) East-facing rooms for maximum quiet (view is of hills/Home2 Suites)
- West-facing rooms on 4th floor for sunset views (if you don't mind the hum of traffic)
თავიდან აცილებული ოთახები
- 1st floor courtyard rooms (noise from fire pits)
- Rooms near the elevator (high foot traffic)
ოთახის მოთხოვნის გენი – დააკოპირე და ჩასვი
“I would appreciate a room on the top floor (4th floor), away from the elevator. If possible, I prefer an East-facing room for a quieter stay, or a West-facing room only if it is on the highest floor.”

შიდა რჩევები
- ✨
The 'Marina Dunes Preserve' trail starts nearby; it's a sandy hike but leads to a very empty, wild beach.
- ✨
Skip the hotel market for snacks; there is a Target and Trader Joe's literally across the street.
- ✨
The fire pits are lovely but turn off automatically at 10 PM.
5 რამ, რაც უნდა იცოდე სანამ წახვალ
💡The fog here ('June Gloom') is often thicker than in Monterey proper.
💡The 'partial ocean view' is 80% sand dunes and highway, 20% water.
💡The bathroom barn doors don't lock and have gaps—privacy is 'ish'.
💡You share the parking lot with the Home2 Suites next door.
💡The wind can be ferocious in the afternoon; hold onto your car door.
