missingWrote a review on Nov 13snack conveniencequiet atmospheredated property
I recently stayed for a night in a non-smoking queen room and was grateful to snag some snacks from the 7-Eleven just across the street. The pool area was a nice spot to unwind and I enjoyed the quiet atmosphere at night. Just a heads up, the place could use some updates, but overall it was a decent choice for a quick getaway. 😊

This place was just an excellent fit for a flash stay in Salinas with great value. The parking area felt a bit sketchy, with no lights and some unsavory characters around, making us uncomfortable. I suggest being cautious and maybe not coming back late at night.

Had a great time with friends during our trip. We visited the famous aquarium and went to a local farm for tours. The place was clean and quiet, perfect for getting rest after our long days. Plus, the wifi was solid, which helped us plan our next adventures.
The only downside was that there was some noise at times from a group on the second floor, which made it hard to sleep.

The bed was clean and comfortable, providing a solid night's sleep. WiFi connection held up well for planning my next moves too.
Check-in felt off as the lobby had a heavy plexiglass barrier, and I had to navigate some confusion with online payments. The pool was out of order during my stay, looking abandoned, and the dark parking lot made it feel a bit unsafe at night with groups of people lingering around. There’s a noticeable lack of exterior lighting, making anyone feel uneasy, especially when wandering back to the room after dark.

I loved the clean room with a comfortable bed, which made my stay enjoyable. The surroundings were quiet, allowing for restful sleep, and the cable TV provided a pleasant distraction during my downtime.
Could use more seating areas for seniors.

I booked a stay for two nights in a Queen Room for smoking. Upon arrival, the room seemed clean, but the door malfunctioned, locking me in for over thirty minutes. When I asked for help, the staff were unresponsive at first and ended up laughing when I requested a different room. That was incredibly frustrating. The area felt unsafe, with unfamiliar individuals loitering near the building. No exterior lighting added to the unease. However, I appreciated having a roof over my head without having to spend much. Location was decent, close to shops. But overall, I would not recommend this place unless absolutely necessary.

This motel served the purpose for a budget stay while touring. The room was clean and comfortable enough for a good night's sleep, though the pool was out of order and the check-in area felt unwelcoming behind plexiglass. Still, it was quiet on a Saturday night.
