To be honest, I don't think I would have stayed their unless my company had a negotiated rate because the price was a bit high but after my stay I can 100% see why. This hotel has to be the one of the nicest in Salinas. It's brand new and the interior is AMAZING. The room decor was nothing like... More

Following TA users advice, stayed here overnight while visiting the National Steinbeck Center. As Priority Club Members, we were upgraded to a Junior Suite -- spacious, with a couch, chairs, desk, micro, extra sink. Nice view of artichoke field, good location, excellent service, very clean throughout, nice breakfast. Easy to get to downtown Salinas for dinner, but if you're too... More

If you are in the Salinas area there are no other choices that compare in quality and price. Granite tops, microwave and refrigerator in room, indoor pool, workout facility, big free breakfast, flat screen TVs in room, free business center - just to name a few.

The Holiday Inn Express is always hit-and-miss. This one was definitely a "hit". I had just spent a long day in Carmel. I was far from home, and I didn't have a hotel room. It was a Saturday night, and everything in Carmel was booked. Everything in Monterey was expensive or poorly-rated. I decided that, since I was done with... More

Almost brand new Holiday Inn Express on the edge of town, overlooking artichoke fields (a certain Norma Jean was the first Artichoke Queen). 3 in our party so were upgraded to suite with separate bedroom, bathroom, living room with sofa bed and compact kitchen area plus desk with free internet. Spotlessly clean. Nice Pool. Good breakfast. Incredible value.

From our point of view, this smoke-free hotel is as good as it gets. The property was new-appearing, the beds were comfortable and the shower was a good one. We like ammenities like a coffee-maker, a microwave and refrigerator, and a wall thermostat in the room and we had them here. The complimentary hot breakfast buffet was delicious, and the... More

Nice hotel with modern deco. Places to eat within walking distance, mall and other restaurants are a short drive away. Parking lot was small, but not a problem for us.

This has got to be the classiest Holiday Inn Express anywhere. A new facility, built with a luxurious ambiance about it and interior would appear to be designed by a professional designer. We stayed here for an extended vacation while exploring the Monterey area. We were warmly and professionally greeted upon arrival by the person at the front desk. Actually... More

I booked the hotel without knowing anything about it, it was a great experience, the rooms were big, very clean, hospitality was great and the staff were helpful and location is excellent close to main attractions. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.
