“Good Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

This hotel is located within steps of Cannery Row and less than half-mile from the Famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. The rooms and furniture are a tad outdated and old. The breakfast lobby is a tad small, but what would you expect...it's free. Location, Location, Locations means you'll have to pay premium prices!

Room Tip: Parking can be tricky as you navigate your in the underground parking structure. We drive a mid-siz...

“Monterey's best kept secret”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 9, 2012

We have chosen Monterey's Holiday Inn Express at Cannery Row for years. Not only do they welcome one with light wine and cheese evenings, and a bountiful breakfast in the lovely, bright common area, but the setting in a well kept garden right off the Bay is delightful! The rooms are all clean and well equipped, but best of all is the front desk! Sanjay, Alex and Arben will find anything for you, be available for help at all hours and are such kind and welcoming professional hosts! Thank you to them and enjoy to prospective visitors!

Room Tip: A water-view room is especially lovely

“Restful Night”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

The Holiday Inn Express Cannery Row, is situated perfectly for the vacationer wanting to do the tourist thing. The hotel is clean, beautiful, and our room was very comfortable. Breakfast was great. The service on the phone for reservations and during our stay was wonderful. How refreshing not to have to pay for parking in Monterey.

Room Tip: We were assigned a king room with a view. #216

“Good experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Great location and no charge for parking. Front desk was very helpful and made a great restaurant recommendation - Loose Noodle. Awesome Italian food and very reasonably priced. Go if you have the chance.

“Good location, large room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

I stayed here recently for a weekend trip to Monterey, and the location at the end of Cannery Row can't be beat. There's also free parking, which is a plus in comparison to some of the other hotels with similar locations. It's also nice to get free Wifi, although that's not critical for such a short trip.

We stayed in a corner room, and we were surprised at how large it was. It was very roomy and everything was in decent order. It was more or less clean, although there were some red deposits in some of the edges of the shower. The room also was also a little smelly, although opening the windows took care of that. It was otherwise acceptable.

One other nice thing this particular Holiday Inn Express did was an afternoon cheese/cracker snack along with some drinks. I've not seen this before, and we only stopped by in the afternoon to drop off our things before heading back out so we didn't really take advantage, but it was a nice touch.

It's not a fancy hotel, but it does the job and is pretty convenient for seeing Monterey and the surrounding areas.
