Hotwire Hotel: Help IDing 3* in Monterey

[Bill_Luv2fly]

There's a 3* in Monterey - Carmel (Monterey), with ammenities Boutique Hotel, Near Beach, Spa Services, and High-Speed Internet Access. I've sifted through tons of hotels, and can't find any that seem to fit these ammenities. The rate I found was $66 for Oct 10, if that's of any help.

What about the Marriott??

That was the one hotel (the Marriott) I thought was the best match, but looking at photos and descriptions of the hotel (particularly its size), I didn't think that it could be called a boutique. Also, it lowest published rate is $199 for the night I was looking at, making me think that may be just a little too high for a $66 on Hotwire.

The only other possible (IMHO) could be the

Spindthrift Inn

But I can't see anything re Spa.

Best of luck.

There is a hotel called Portola Plaza Hotel. It certainly emphasizes its boutique style and full spa facilities. But I'm not sure, by any means! :)

Thanks again for all the help. After further searching, I'm afraid its the Best Western Victorian Inn.

Seems to fit all the ammenities, including boutique. I wouldn't be surprised for Hotwire to call it a 3*. It does have a continental breakfast which is not listed as a Hotwire ammenity, but its omission might be for masking purposes. Furthermore, unlike most 3* hotels in the area, it does not have a pool (and such an ammenity is missing from Hotwire's description).

I'm not going to purchase it, so take this prediction for whatever its worth.
