We stayed at the Colton Inn while we were driving down the PCH. We didn’t know what to expect as we’d never been to Monterey before. We arrived at the Colton & were greeted by a lovely lady on reception, the room wasn’t ready-we we’re early- but she let us park up- so we walked into Monterey. The walk is just lovely, about 20 minutes. When we arrived back another lovely lady checked us in. Room was lovely, spacious & clean. The decor is a bit ‘old world’ but it fits Monterey perfectly. Went & asked reception advice on Monterey & they were just wonderful, nicest staff we came across on our California trip! Beds were comfortable, our only issue was noise from the toilets above but that didn’t effect our sleep too much. Breakfast was much better than I expected from reviews with lots to eat, which I took back to our room on a little tray which was great.
We certainly wish we could have stayed longer in Monterey and at the Colton! We loved every minute & it was on the top of our list highlights when it was actually just a stop over. What a fantastic place! Thank you Colton Inn & a special thank you to the 3 awesome ladies we encountered in reception.
