La Quinta Inn Seaside
La Quinta Inn in the City of Seaside was our hotel during our weekend trip to Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. Our stay was complimentary due to the points which Marc had racked up while on business and which he redeemed for our overnight stay. We were very happy with our room. We stayed in room 211. I was apprehensive at first by the exterior of the hotel. It was not exactly upscale. But I was proven wrong. The hotel location was safe, the premises quiet, and the room very spacious and clean. I wouldn't mind staying here again.
Over and over again, I am just flabbergasted by the sizes of hotel rooms in the US. They are just so much bigger compared to the hotels we have stayed at abroad.
We had a king sized bed.
This was my side.
Marc's side
The work table
Get a load of the space. There's just nothing like it in Europe and Japan lest you pay hundreds upon hundreds of dollars folks.
The TV armoire
The flat screen TV
The bathroom vanity mirror
The sink and the toilet amenities
Here's the hair dryer which is a must for some travelers, especially Marc.
Towels galore. On our latest trip to Germany last August, we were only supplied two towels each day. There were even signs asking if we wanted to reuse. I couldn't believe it!
Talk about closets and closet space. We actually had one in our room. In our travels during the last three years, we hardly had closets in our hotel rooms.
Complimentary coffee at the bar by the door

There was even a mini-fridge! I have been traveling abroad so much I have totally forgotten the perks we get in American hotels. God bless America! A million thanks La Quinta!
