Holiday Inn Express Monterey-Cannery Row by IHG
Friendly staff, clean room, nice location, and a really nice breakfast with hot food. Buuuuuut the elevators do not stop on each floor. We had to drag luggage up and down stairs. Annoying! The room is good, but the walls are thin. We could hear everyone's carts, luggage and footsteps. Also no pool ...
