Affordable Hotel in Carmel
by lisabel.smith about Carmel Resort Inn
We stayed at Carmel Resort Inn. I would admit that we had a fantastic experience in this bed and breakfast / inn / hotel. Not very expensive, it fit our budget.
The staff was very courteous. Rooms were clean. Moreover, they did not charge us for late checkout.
I would recommend this hotel who is on budget, and want to have a great vacation in carmel.
Carmel Resort Inn folks, keep up the good job. We'll see you again in spring. Clean Rooms, Courteous Staff, affordable, close to everything.

Rocky Point Restaurant
by yoyosh
Hello,
My girlfriend and I are vacationing in a few weeks in Monterey, and thought about driving down to the Rocky Point Restaurant for a lunch or just drinks. Is that considered an exceptional view or will we have our fill of similar views driving to and from San Fran? Any feedback is appreciated, thanks in advance!

It's better than the view along Hwy 1 between SF and Santa Cruz, but if you want the best drive and view and setting for a meal go a few miles further south to Big Sur, to the restaurant called Nepenthe. They have an outdoor deck if the weather's good and you can see 50 miles down the coastline. There's a fantastic craft/gift shop there as well called The Phoenix. At one time Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth owned this property.

Thanks for the tip. About how of a drive is it from Monterey (the Cannery Row area)?

You mean how long a drive from Cannery Row to Big Sur? About an hour, maybe less.

I've heard Nepenthe has a gorgeous view but is overpriced and disappointing! A friend spent $200 for 4 to dine seated in plastic patio chairs .... *shrug*
