Quiet serenity with loads of suggested local area places to visit or explore. The parking pass for the beaches was wonderful and an added value, not to mention the two passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. My visit, unfortunately could not include a visit, but should you, as a new guest have the opportunity, the aquarium is spectacular, especially if you find otters very entertaining. But, if you need a quiet retreat, Jane's in-law suite offers a beautiful patio filled with flowers and foliage; clean and spacious room with a comfy bed and lots of feather pillows. I did bring my own fan as I like to sleep with a fan to help circulate the air, but the space was serene and comfortable, with tasty coffee, tea, and condiments for the guest usage. Very nice bath area (small shower space without a tub), with lots of towels, beach and otherwise, as well as up to date magazines. It was a very peaceful stay.
