Hi
My wife and I are doing a road trip from LA to Vancouver in Sept this year and all my plans are going well but I am not sure where to stay when we drive from Monterey and Eureka. Trying to do it in one go will be too much for us but if we had a place to stay half way up that would be perfect.

Is there a nice small town to stop off along Highway 1 or even the 101 between SF and Eureka?

Thanks y'all!
