Holiday Inn Express at Monterey Bay by IHG
The room is small and not well maintained. Even no cups for water or to brush teeth. The worst Holiday’s Inn we have experienced:

Lovers Point Inn
Convenient location right next to ocean. Noise-wise, the hotel can improve much.

Olympia Lodge
The heat didn’t work, there was very little water pressure in the shower, the sink was clogged, and the toilet plunger didn’t seal, so the water ran into the toilet constantly. And, the breakfast was a croissant and a cookie in a box.
