favorite hotels in/near Monterey, Calif.?

[firecat]

I'm thinking about going to Monterey in August to visit the Monterey County Fair and Wool Show and the aquarium. I'm having trouble deciding where to stay. Do you have a favorite hotel there? My budget is up to $250 per night but I'd rather pay less if I can find someplace decent for less. I don't care about being within "walking distance" of anything because my "walking distance" is only a couple of blocks, and I know I can park in a city lot to visit the aquarium. I prefer hotels to b&bs.

There are lots of (relatively) cheap motels in Monterey along Munras Ave. north of Highway 1. When my mother was ill in her last years, wild_irises and I would routinely stay at the Padre Oaks, 1278 Munras, (831) 373-3741. Nothing fancy, but with clean and comfortable rooms, run by nice people.
