I stayed here two nights while on business in the area. It is a bit more expensive than other HIE properties, but reasonable when compared to other hotels in this area. This is an older property, but is in a good location with nice views of nearby parks and lakes. The rooms have recently been renovated, featuring new, modern bathrooms,... More

There is some remodeling going on, but loud noises didn't seem to start until about 9:00 AM. Only half the rooms were occupied the night we stayed. There is a big pond in front and behind the property (the pond behind has a nice trail to walk around with little bridges). This hotel has outside corridors. It is a couple... More

Liked the rooms except for outdated and needing attention bathtubs. Dont like that the corridors are external, feels like a motel. Breakfast is horrid as place is way too small for all the guests to fit. Check in/out was a breeze and helpful More

Our bathroom renovation is near completion!! It looks like we will have all newly renovated bathrooms by the end of January. Currently the 5th-3rd floors are finished as well as 1/2 of the second floor. I wish your experience at the breakfast would have been a better one. It sounds like you may have stayed during around the Holidays I... More

Over the holidays, I stayed in the Holiday Inn Express at Monterey Bay. Seeing that I am a Priority Club member, I try to stay at Holiday Inn when it is an option. Service at reception was friendly, but I was a little shocked by the price for a Holiday Inn Express. This room was fifty dollars more than a... More

Not your typical Holiday Inn Express, it looks like the hotel was something else when it was built and then bought by HI Express. The room was clean, bright, smelled good, and everything seemed recently new and updated. The bathroom needed a little updating but had a new shower head. I thought the room was perfect for me and my... More

We stayed here for two nights during the Thanksgiving week-end. The location is right at the city limits between Seaside and Monterey. While it is not, of course, within walking distance to downtown Monterey, fisherman's wharf, Cannery Row, or the Aquarium (which is on the other side of Monterey at the city limit with Pacific Grove), it is a straight...

Our bathroom renovation is two weeks from completion, top three floors are ready! I would love the opportunity to welcome you back so you can see and experience our new and much improved bathrooms. We have additional seating available during busy times at the breakfast bar and apologize if we did not let you know about that. Thank you for... More

Like other reviewers I trust the Holiday Inn Express as good rooms at good value. This hotel did not live up to the HI Express name. Outside rooms, which I have never seen with this brand. Water smelled terrible. More

Internet connectivity is important to me. I could not connect to the internet within the room. After an hour of trying, they gave me different room. After ten minutes of trying to connect in the second room, they gave me a third room where I finally got connected. All three rooms were the same, clean and remodeled. The hotel was... More
