I admit I was a little hesitant to stay here since the last time we visited Monterey we stayed at the Intercontinental, but I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived! I thought for the price we paid we received a lot. The room was not nearly as bad as people described. The bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom looked... More

My wife and I had a good experience at the Holiday Inn Express in Seaside. After check-in, the staff at the front desk suggested we park our bike out front so they could keep an eye on it during the night. I thought it was a nice gesture. The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was good. It... More

My wife and I frequently stay at Holiday Inn Express. But this one was a problem. OK - it's an old hotel that has recently been rebadged as Holiday Inn Express, and perhaps there are some additional steps in the transition process that are yet to be taken, but it really didn't create a good impression. The main issues were:... More

This hotel is set out in a very unusual way with room doors facing outdoor balconies. It looks like a local authority council block. A bit like del boy's Nelson Mandela Towers. The layout made me think that access to the property was easy for non guests. You did not feel fully safe. Our room was quite cramp with a... More

We have stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Monterey Bay, Seaside, CA several times and never have been disappointed. It is located in Seaside, a small community near Monterey and close to HWY 1 and adjacent to the Embassy Suites Hotel. The prices are quite reasonable, the rooms are clean and adequate, and it comes with a nice breakfast. Parking... More

Excellent example of the uniform holiday inn express formula. Clean, quiet, and no surprises. This is exactly why I stay in so many of them on business travel. The staff was friendly and attentive. Did not partake of the free breakfast. Will be back! 27J More

I(we) recently stayed at the HIE at Seaside, Ca. The location was very close to the beach, but the hotel itself is pretty old and a lot of the fixtures didn't work. Only 1 elevator for 5 floors. the breakfast was mediocore at best and the pancake machine doesn't work properly, also the breakfast staff are rude and unfriendly as... More

Very old hotel. Not very secure with all rooms have outside access. One very slow elevator. Several exterior stairways always made me be "on guard" at night. Small rooms, 1 person is all that can move around easily. Small bathroom with a weird shower that has no door. Water all over the floor every day after a shower. Breakfast area... More

As others have said, having the external corridors and stairs makes it feel like a motel but seems like a safe enough area, I didn't really have a concern. Breakfast area was great, plenty to choose from. Exercise room has been updated since what they have posted on their site and it was nice equipment. Desk staff were super helpful... More
