Perfect getaway

The hotel is centrally located, steps away from fisherman's wharf. Your can walk to the cannery row, aquarium or take the free trolley. Trolley stop is steps away from hotel, and it goes by every 10-15 minutes with various stops on their route. Make sure to stop by Carmel Bakery in the hotel and get their giant pretzel before they sell out.
Sandra, 2-night trip
