B,

You could have a look at hotels in Levanto or other towns near the Cinque Terre (Hotel Garden gets good ratings on Trip Advisor). Levanto is only about five minutes from Monterosso by train, so staying close will minimize transportation times. It's also a very picturesque town with a large beach.

Using the local trains will make it easier to tour the five towns rather than paying for parking each town, or not being able to find parking in some.

Take a look at Portovenere; a cute, quaint town on the south end of 5 Terre. You can get to any of the towns by boat, which is a great way to see 5 Terre. The view from the Med (Ligurian Sea) is wonderful.
