“This is an atypical Holiday Inn Express, seemingly converted from an older motel, with exterior corridors. The rooms are clean, though basic, and the free breakfast meets brand standards. Its location near the highway puts Monterey attractions within easy reach, though other lodging options nearby might offer better value.”
