"Great choice for an overnight in Salinas. My only grief was from the guests above us and the lack of sound separation. Unfortunately, this is a problem in almost every hotel. Otherwise, highly recommend."

"The hotel was conveniently located in the touristy area of Monterey so if you like that it's a good deal. But the hotel itself is worn down and needing an update. It IS clean though and feels safe. The staff were friendly and professional too."
