Perks
Coleman developed a small door at the lower corner of the Monterey 6 tent that can be used to access gear, for ventilation or as a dog door for small dogs so you don't have to get out of bed to let them out. Also, the Monterey 6 has a hinged door that allows easy access without having to unzip the door.
Sacrifices
Due to Coleman's superior ventilation system, during extreme rain storms water will leak through some of the the air ducts under the fly and make puddles on the floor. Also, the poles are very flexible allowing the tent walls to become compacted during wind storms and make sleep near impossible.
Bottom Line
The Coleman Monterey 6 is a great tent for families looking for a cheap alternative for camping trips. It does not have the durability or quality as some of the top-end companies but has unique, functional features that are great for camping.
