#8 of 9 hotels in Del Monte Beach & Seaside by Axel's take. Del Monte Beach & Seaside is #6 of 6 places to stay in Monterey, California. The best hotels in Del Monte Beach & Seaside, ranked · Where to stay in Monterey, California

Axel's take: 6.8/10

Useful breakfast and location, but uneven upkeep makes this a cautious pick. a basic, motel-style 2-star in Seaside near Monterey, scored for what it is.

This is a basic, motel-style 2-star in Seaside, not a waterfront Monterey hotel. We'd consider it for a short sightseeing stop: free hot breakfast and parking help the value, the beach is nearby, and Highway 1 is convenient. Expedia guests often praise helpful staff, and several late-summer 2026 reviews describe clean, comfortable rooms.

Consistency is the catch. Tripadvisor and Google reviews repeatedly flag worn furnishings, maintenance problems and noise, while cleanliness feedback is mixed. Hotel renovations brought substantial daytime construction noise in spring and summer 2026; completion isn't confirmed, so check directly before booking. September guests also mention limited parking. We'd skip it for a quiet getaway or if you expect reliably fresh Holiday Inn Express standards; it makes more sense as a practical overnight base.

  • Best for: short sightseeing stops with a car; budget-conscious travelers who value included breakfast

  • Watch out for: 2026 renovation noise; completion unconfirmed; uneven upkeep and cleanliness; limited parking and traffic noise

  • Location: Convenient Seaside base near the beach and Highway 1; downtown Monterey and Cannery Row require a trip.

  • Rooms: Exterior-corridor, motel-style rooms; some updated, but recurring reports of wear and maintenance issues.

  • Cleanliness: Mixed: recent clean-room praise sits alongside repeated complaints about stained carpets and neglected areas.

  • Service: Helpful staff are a recurring strength, though problem handling receives some criticism.

  • Amenities: IHG lists free hot breakfast, Wi-Fi, a gym, outdoor heated pool and whirlpool; confirm pool facilities are operating.

  • Fees and surprises: IHG confirms free parking, but guests report limited spaces; ask about remaining renovation work.
