Property staff is very helpful, room carpet is wet

The carpet was washed around 1 hour before we arrived according to the reception desk and they do their best to offer towers and free snacks as a gesture of goodwill. I acknowledged all their efforts to make guests feel better. However, staying in a room with the smell of wet carpet is not your best travel experience.

Don't Take - Don't Break

The Front Desk check-in clerk stated, We need to hold a $75.00 deposit for anything damaged or stolen." Poor choice of words to use towards a guest. For the record, I could afford anything in that room, and certainly not the type to take shabby accessories.! Seems like management should use this guest experience as a Learning Lesson of What Not To Say when asking for a deposit.

The Holiday Inn Express at Monterey Bay was a pleasant stay. I arrived with my three daughters to stay for the weekend and enjoy the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The hotel staff upon arrival were courteous and knowledgable. The hotel room was very clean and comfortable which gave us all a good nights sleep. The buffet breakfast the next morning was hot and delicious and prepared us for the day. I request that the hotel clean and make repairs to the elevator, as it felt dirty and out dated and sounded as if it is in need of restoration. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and recommend staying here to anyone else looking for a good nights sleep.

The building is fairly old, though some upgrades have been made to give it a slightly modern touch. The toilets are pretty old, so they're low and you might have to play with the handles to get them to flush. The beds are full size, which are on the smaller side, and the rooms are a bit tight, especially for a family of four. That said, the location is decent and convenient for visiting the area—right next to the freeway, close to food, and near the wharf and Cannery Row. These small and affordable rooms work well if you're just there to sleep with a family of four.
