| We've listed some options at different price points for each town.
Of course, we'll be in Santa Cruz up until the day of the
wedding. The night of the wedding we'll be staying in Monterey
at the Hotel Pacific, as will several members of the wedding
party. Monterey and Santa Cruz are only 45 minutes apart, so it's really up to you
to decide where to stay. Both places have great B&Bs -- and we've listed some of
our favorites. Note about phone numbers. The area code in Santa Cruz and
Monterey is changing, so you may need to dial 831 instead of 408. Also note that
we've listed prices based on double occupancy. |
