Myabe if the hotels would eliminate the two night minimum stay for weekend guests you would get more folks coming to Monterey County.

Spent a week in Monterey last summer. You can't go anywhere without paying for parking which kept us away from the Wharf and many downtown businesses. Had two handicapped individuals with wheelchairs and disabled plates on their cars, still no free parking for them and were forced to leave the handicaped unloading space for parking for the Aquarium to make room for busses. Very hard to get around with disabled visitors to your area. Will go elsewhere next summer.
