It isn’t the most luxurious or exciting hotel in the world, but it offered exactly what I needed…a very clean and comfortable room, in a perfect location. The desk staff were friendly and for a downtown location the whole place felt safe and reasonably quiet. You can’t ask for much more at this price point. more

pretty much endorse all the positive comments made by the previous reviewers. Didn't think it was rundown at all, the clapboard building has been built to blend in with Cannery Row and adds to its charm, lots to see and do within a very short distance but if you have a car "17 mile drive "is a must-- to take... more

We turned up on spec to this hotel and booked a room for the night. I think it's a bit pricey for what it is but the room was fine, quite spacious and the parking was free. Staff were friendly and there is free internet in the lobby, limited to 15 mins per guest (just out of courtesy to other... more

Our experience at the Holiday Inn was fabulous. From the service at the front desk to the coffee stand open 24 hours; we had the best time. We were arriving into Monterey b4 our check in time and the hotel allowed us to park our car in the garage while we walked around. Our rooms were clean and the bed... more

Me and my girlfriend are totally satisfied with this hotel. Short 5 minutes walk to Cannry Row and nice 20 minutes walk to fisherman's wharf. Room was very clean and bed totally acceptable. Price was honest and fair for this time of the year and proximity to city center. Breakfast was really complete and fresh. Would recommend to everyone. Overall... more

Stayed here for 3 nights on our way from LA to SF. The location is perfect being right behind Cannery Row and it's very unusual for a hotel in this location to have free parking which will save you up to $20 a day. The hotel is a typical HI Express in that it's pretty basic, and our room (205)... more

We enjoyed staying here! Free parking; great location that you can walk to Cannery Row and the aquarium. Nice atmosphere and free wine and cheese each evening! Rooms aren't big, but are clean and the lobby and courtyard are charming. more

Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Monterey, and came out with only a few pleasant experiences and with many poor ones. Pleasant, is the location to Cannery Row and subpar but free breakfast, free parking. Disappointed, the establishment is tired, and the lobby seconds as the breakfast room. Rooms are not clean and the bathrooms are disgusting and dirty. Towels... more

This hotel is in a great location. We went to Monterey without doing a lot of research of what to do and we were a little nervous about staying in a 2 star hotel. The hotel is in a GREAT location. It is right next to Cannery Row(walk out the front door, turn right and you walk right into the... more
