Stage Coach Lodge, hotel in Monterey

Located in Monterey just 2.6 km from Fisherman's Wharf, the Stage Coach Lodge offers an outdoor pool and putting green. Free Wi-Fi is available on site.

The location was easy to find (most are with Google navigation, I guess). The staff were very helpful with the locations we asked about. They also suggested Old Fisherman's Wharf, which was great for a meal. The room was a good size and had exactly what was listed. Free parking right outside our room.

    The room was lovely with very comfy beds, was well equipped and also had a nice bathroom. Loved the wooden floors! Great to have the pool facility which was very clean and well stocked with towels for the end of the day. Location was ideal for walking into Monteray - just a short walk to Alvarado street and to the wharf. Plenty of parking - but in my view should be included already in the cost of the room. Was disappointed to have to pay extra.
