"We stayed here for two nights with our family of four, including our four-year-old with special needs and a newborn, and overall we had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and well cared for. Lorena at the front desk was incredibly helpful, kind, patient, and knowledgeable. When we noticed that our original room had a very strong cleaner smell, we spoke with Manager Jessica, who was absolutely amazing. She was prompt, accommodating, and quickly arranged for us to be moved to a new room. She even went the extra mile by bringing our family a thoughtful gift, which was such a kind and personal touch. Throughout our stay, staff regularly checked in with us via text message and phone calls to make sure everything was going well and to see if we needed anything. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied. Housekeeping was also excellent—very prompt and attentive. Each day they made sure we had everything we needed, from fresh towels and coffee to keeping the room spotless. Anytime we called for something, they were quick to respond and deliver. The rooms and the hotel itself are beautiful. The room was very well stocked with thoughtful amenities, including great-tasting coffee, a fully stocked bathroom with wonderful-smelling shampoo, body wash, and lotion, plus toothbrushes, toothpaste, a hair dryer, plush towels, comfortable robes, and hotel slippers. The beds were extremely comfortable—soft but "

"My husband and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express at Monterey Bay by IHG over the Christmas holidays, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. Everyone was lovely, and a special mention goes to the sweetest daughter of one of the receptionists, who truly added a warm and personal touch to our stay. Breakfast each morning was delicious and well organized, with plenty of options to choose from. There were eggs, sausages, yogurt, biscuits, pancakes, muffins, bagels, and three different juices—something for everyone, and a great way to start the day. Our room was extremely comfortable. We had a king-size bed, which was absolutely fabulous—large, cozy, and perfect for relaxing. The room also had a nice TV. While it wasn’t a smart TV, we brought our laptop and connected it, so we were still able to watch Netflix and Disney Plus without any issues. The hotel’s location is another big plus. It sits right on the border of Seaside and Monterey, very close to the beach and water, as well as several delicious restaurants. Monterey is easily walkable, though it can be a bit of a long walk, so comfortable shoes are recommended. We also appreciated that our room faced the back of the property rather than the highway, which made it feel quieter and more peaceful. The ONLY downside worth noting is that the hotel is not one large indoor building. The rooms are accessed from the outside, meaning you do have to walk outdoors to get to your room. "
