Keeping in mind that this is a motel, not a fancy 5 star hotel, and that the price is very affordable, I think this is an excellent choice if you're stopping in Salinas. The woman who helped us check in was very friendly. The man who answered the phone was more than willing to give us the internet rate, even... More

Stopped at this location while moving from Phoenix to Coos Bay OR, and found this to be a good location with good access to the 101, and now that I know it's located close to Laguna Seca, I will be staying there when going to races. Manager was great, and was really helpful when I had to make changes to... More

I stay here on average about 15 times a year. I can say with consistency over the 3 years that I have been staying here that overall this place is just fine. I don't think it's fair to label a motel as "bad" over a one nights stay, or over one bad experience. These are motels, they are not perfect,... More

We really enjoyed the stay. The current manager/owner has really put in lot of effort and investment to improve the motel. The manager and the staff were very friendly and provided excellent service. We recommend this to anyone planning to go or stay in Salinsa. Thanks Jai

I will admit it was cheap. And we got what we paid for. The two queen bed room had double beds at best. The beds were rock hard. If it was not for the ambien, I don't think I would have slept. My son found a bug in his bed and my husband saw fleas in the room. ICK! On... More

Clerk was very friendly at check in. I stayed using points, (I was pleased that the room was only 8000 points, as this was the weekend of the Gilroy Garlic Festival, and the hotel was less than a half hour from Gilroy. They could have charged more points because of the event, but they chose not to.) For paying custoers,... More

I was pleasantly surprised after reading other reviews of this hotel. It was the best rate in town. The staff was very friendly. We had asked for a non-smoking room and although we were given a room that was designated non-smoking, it was obvious smokers had stayed there recently. The staff cheerfully gave us a larger non-smoking room at the... More

When we stayed at this Econolodge in May 2007 it was reasonably priced, comfortable, had friendly staff, and even though we arrived late we got what we asked for. However, we believe this Econolodge has changed ownership since then. This time we got a "bait and switch". This time we arrived late again, staff was rude, and prices were inflated... More

Located right next to the US-101, i.e. a constant roar in front of your window. Relatively dirty room, especially the bathroom. The TV was at least 20 years old and did not have the promised HBO channel. The area around the hotel is run-down; mainly gas stations and fast-food restaurants. The best is the "complimentary continental breakfast" - grab a... More
