The hotel is great for people wanting to go to Laguna Seca to watch a race weekend. Other than that, ths is a bare bones hotel that is very clean, but is located right next to a busy freeway and an onramp. The hotel is laid out like a large L with few/some of the rooms facing semi away from... More

When we got there we were charged an additional $15 for our room because it had two beds even though she had mentioned to us that she had just sold out the last one bed to the customer before us. The room was dingy and the comforter had stains on it that looked like blood. The blankets were extremely old... More

In regards to the above guest comment, I write as the front office desk clerk, assisting the customer the night of their stay: Prior to arriving at the hotel, the guest called to see if the room they had reserved from Priceline was for 1 bed or 2 beds. The guest requested that they needed a room with 2 beds.... More

Lobby looked like walls had been patched from bad construction on worse. Neighborhood is shabby and a bit scary, especially after dark. Front desk clerk demanded credit card in case I (63 years old) destroyed the room. Did not stay; hotel refused a refund. This was a franchise; corporate takes little or no responsbility for quality of stay.

Not the worst hotel I've ever seen, but we were very disappointed. The staff is friendly, but the "continental breakfast" was a joke and the highway noise is deafening.

My husband and I were passing through Salinas during the holiday season, while visiting our family in the Bay area. We decided to make a stop in Salinas and spend the night at this hotel, located right off the 101. This hotel was very easy to find and despite of other reviews we read before coming here about the noise... More

I was truly very comfortable. I was in town for a family event and this was the least expensive hotel I found (and with budgets a... More

Bought two nights on Priceline and wound up with this hotel. Although not the worst I've ever been in, I wouldn't recommend it to others if you are used to a little higher end. I usually have no problem with two star hotels but this really shouldn't be considered two stars...more like one star or at best, one and a... More
