We were very pleased with the size and cleanliness of the room. Very nicely decorated. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The beds were a little too firm for my taste and the breakfast was only average but did offer a variety of foods. We would recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Negatives: The location.
Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 05 Jan 2008 rated 10 out of 10.
We chose this location because we wanted to be away from the busy crowd but it was close enough to drive to the sights. This hotel is great. Better than expected. The decor is very pleasing and everything is so clean. The hotel staff is very friendly. The breakfast is very good-sausage, eggs, yogurt, waffles, juice, muffins. The shower was wonderful. The nights sleep was excellent-no noise at all. Mini fridge and microwave if you want to do your own meals. Very, very pleased. We will stay again.
Positives: The decor was up to date, the employees were very friendly and the breakfast was wonderful.
Negatives: Nothing.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 15 Nov 2007 rated 10 out of 10.
Good clean hotel. Good location, close enough to local attractions but far enough away to keep things quiet. A great place to stay.
Positives: Clean and easy to find.
Negatives: My room key did not work.
Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 16 May 2007 rated 10 out of 10.
I enjoyed staying at this hotel, and would recommend it to others. It was not far from the Monterey Attractions, and not far from local stores. I would definitely stay again.
Positives: I liked the ability to work out in the gym.
Negatives: When asked for housekeeping to come and make the beds, well, nothing happened.

Negatives: No complaints.
Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 06 Apr 2007 rated 5 out of 10.
This hotel was fine for the lower rate we received. But if I were to pay the normal rate, I would have been outraged that the hot tub was broken, (and it's been broken since months ago based on other reviewers' comments!) And the unhelpful front desk. The breakfast includes weird rubbery flattened omelets with Nacho sauce. For an upscale hotel, that is just unacceptable.
Positives: I liked the newness of the hotel. It was therefore cleaner than the older surrounding establishments.
Negatives: The hot tub was freezing. No towels. Front desk was unfriendly when we arrived. When we called for extra towels, no one came and they made us get them.
Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 13 Mar 2007 rated 8 out of 10.
I like the staff. The location is ok for my business. There aren't enough parking spaces on site during the weekend but it wasn't problem.
Positives: Location, ease of traffic, near ocean.
Negatives: The furnishings were dated and beat up.
Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 21 Sep 2006 rated 9 out of 10.
A good choice for "Monterey Jazz Festival" fans. The location is not far from the fairgrounds and is a very easy drive there. We liked the continental breakfasts in the morning.

The Holiday Inn Express Hotel And Suites Marina was a very clean and comfortable hotel. All of our needs were met. Extra pillows and towels were made available upon request. We enjoyed the spa and breakfast. We also appreciated the coffee maker in the room.
Positives: The spa was very nice and the continental breakfast was great.
Negatives: there was a large group of rude soccer players and parents.

Not happy was very surprised!!!

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 29 Jun 2005 rated 10 out of 10.
The staff was very friendly and professional. The style and architecture was excellent, and it was very clean. The continental breakfast was the best my family has ever had. It was constantly maintained, and the quality of the fruit and pastries was very good. The pillows were too flat and small, but asking for extra pillows cured that. This was a better Holiday Inn Express.
Positives: Exceptionally clean and very nice style.
Negatives: We thought there was a pool, but instead it was a very large hot tub, which was nice.
Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 27 Jun 2005 rated 10 out of 10.

Positives: Excellent location, just off the freeway.
Negatives: No complaints
