Dear Sir/Madam: We recently had the pleasure to stay at your property in Salinas, CA -4/3/13. Upon arrival in the later evening Paul did a wonderful job of checking us in and presented us with an upgrade to a suite, for we are a Platinum member. My wife found the suite so very comfortable giving her peace and quiet while... More

Friendly staff. I've been back & forth to this hotel for some time now. I've yet to encounter poor customer service. Hopefully not in the near future. Hotel appears to be well maintained. Breakfast is ok, has decent selection. Keep up the good work Holiday Inn Express!

Great hotel - clean, good free basic breakfast, comfortable rooms. Not really in a neighborhood where you don't have to drive to go out, but never felt unsafe. Nice finishes in rooms and bed was very comfortable. Cleanliness of room was exemplary. The hotel itself is great.

First off, this is a very nice hotel. Clean, quiet, comfortable, a decent breakfast, nice workout facility and pool, and friendly, efficient, front-desk personnel. The problem is, it's in a sketchy neighborhood directly across the street from a not-so-great-looking trailer park. A friend, who has lived in Salinas his entire life, said to me, "I wouldn't be walking around that... More

We broke down on Boxing Day en route to Los Angeles from San Francisco near Salinas. When it became inevitable that we would need to find a hotel for the night where we had broken down Holiday Inn Express was there for us. They not only managed to put us in rooms near each other (we needed two rooms) but... More

A well-mantained, clean hotel located next to the freeway. It wasn't noisy; easy access to where we were going. Located close to Laguna Seca raceway and quaint Carmel and Monterey. A In-n-Out was right next door. I would recommend this hotel!

What can i say. You get what you pay for. Must say however that.check.in guy was very nice, and the recommendation to the Mexican diner.was A HOOT!! Rooms were clean but basic. A hotel that gives you paper cups instead.of glass speaks volumes.

I had booked in Salinas as Monterey & Carmel were all full - well for our budget anyway. We really weren't too sure what we were going to find when arriving in Salinas, but this is a gem. This would have to be the most comfortable & modern room we had on our holiday in USA. Large & clean. They... More
