Hotel is centrally located. The room was very small but clean and well appointed. The breakfast was ok.

The hotel was perfect for our little vacation getaway. The free breakfast was terrific with so many choices. Having wine and cheese in the afternoon was a good way to relax before dinner. The staff were friendly and helpful; they had great suggestions for nearby dinner locations . Leaving our car in the parking lot and walking to various sites was a treat. We loved the Aquarium with the many activities for children.

We chose this Holiday Inn Express for its affordable rates, free parking, and free breakfast. It delivered all that plus modest, but clean rooms, comfortable beds, a great location in walking distance of everything on Cannery Row and Fishermans wharf, a 5 PM wine and cheese hour, and a helpful polite front desk staff and cleaning crew. We were also surprised to find the breakfast better than just the usual cereal and juice. Instead they offered cinnamon rolls, eggs, other pastries, and all the rest of it. The one drawback is that there is no pool at this hotel, but we were surprised to find Monterey weather so cool during our stay only an indoor heated pool would have been usable. This hotel does have a hot tub, which was also clean and well kept, and we used it a couple times. We would stay here again.
Nice hotel, close to bay & Cannery Row

Large, clean rooms. Friendly staff. Lodging in Monterey is pretty expensive, but rooms here are reasonably priced compared to nearby hotels. Location is excellent.
Good Cannery Row Hotel

If you are spending time in the Cannery Row/Aquarium/Warf area this is an excellent choice. Friendly service. Good size, modern room. Very good shower spray, tub with arched shower curtain pole to give you extra room. Basic but good amenities. The back side of the hotel is on a busy street but not too much traffic later for a good night's sleep. Very comfortable bed, bedding & pillows. Good breakfast but just a short walk to Starbucks if you prefer their coffee like I do. Evening wine & cheese is basic but a nice touch. Walking/bike path is just across the street. Nice spot to enjoy the bay just 1/2 a block away at the Plaza without paying their prices. Very close to excellent coastal area at Pacific Grove. A little less convenient if you want to travel to Carmel etc.
