re: Spin-off from Yosemite thread : best area to stay around Monterey / Carmel ?

Getting no results when I update the amount of guests on the best western site. There’s 5 of us. Me , Mrs jkyle , kids 16,14,5. Holiday inn express cannery row got some pretty solid reviews and can be had for 1500 after tax for the 4 nights we need. The room itself says it accommodates 6 . I’m sure it would be a tad cramped but it has a pretty stellar location. I’d usually splurge a little more on this type trip but I’m trying to save a few bucks without sacrificing too much on location. Wife and I will only be a few weeks back from Switzerland when we go on this trip with the whole family . Thanks for the suggestion.
