Where to stay while at Laguna Seca

[TURBO2GO]

Guys I will be at lagune seca with skip barber next month, I am assuming that I should stay at a Monterey hotel. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where to stay and what to do? I will be there 3 days.

Thanks.

Depends on the amenities you like. In 1999, NSXPO was at Embassy Suites.

Most of us stay at one of the motels on Fremont street - we have stayed many times at Best Western De Azna; they offer AAA discount too. Since most likely you will be in a rental I presume, parking is not an issue.

Occasionally we have stayed in Salinas - primarily because we had some coming with large trailers.

Now if you want to splurge a bit, try Carmel; there are a few nice intimate small hotels - like the one Doris Day has.

well I am going with a guy friend so I don't need anything romantic... lol... is there any nightlife at all in Monterey? What is on Fremont street? I'd like to at least relax and get a beer after the full day of driving.

I just did the Skip Barber class and they have a few recommended hotels. The instructors stay at the Bay Park Hotel. This is a low budget hotel and I don't recommend it. Look into a few of the others. This is a tourist place so there are plenty of really nice hotels for any range of budget.

The are also many very nice places to eat but maybe someone local can give a good recommendation.

Have a great time. :smile:

If it's your first time, you must visit Cannery Row

Quite a selection of eateries. But if you like Italian, I recommend Joe Rombi's restuarant on Pacific Grove. Joe has hosted us several times as part of TrackMasters or our own NSXCA car club; he is a racer too. I recommend you make a reservation though :wink:

Fremont street is the main street where most of the motels are. Only 10 minutes away from Laguna Seca.

Try the Hilton garden inn. Nice, not expensive and has a great bar. Restaurant isn't bad either.
