    “Arabanızı otoparka koyduğunuz için ücret yansıtılıyor. İnsan hayatı için en önemli olan bir bardak suyu bile size ücretsiz vermiyorlar Odaya su koymuşlar şişesi 9 $ restoranda bir şey yiyeyim derseniz gelin içeceklerinizi bir daha kaldırılmamak üzere masaya bırakılıyor dışarıda oturayım derseniz bir oturma yerini temiz görmek imkansız”

    “The location was amazing. Our rooms were just steps down to the beach. You could enjoy a glass of wine and make s'mores at the firepits overlooking the ocean. Just a few minutes drive to Cannery Row. My new favorite hotel in Monterey!”
