Best Western® Hotels in Salinas

Driving back from a coastal wedding, decided was too late. Stopped in for a late night booking, front desk staff very friendly. The real kicker was the indoor pool. Kids immediately perked up to go in, I think it closed at 11 so they got their quick round in. Breakfast standard for holiday inn was appreciated.

The location of the hotel is okay, mainly because the Monterrey reservation is not available, so I chose this hotel in Monterrey to San Francisco. Front desk service is OK, breakfast is the kind of motel, about 800 yuan during the National Day, cost-effective is generally not recommended

Excellent accommodations. The room was spacious, very clean, and well-maintained. All staff members were friendly and professional. There is a large, clean, and well-equipped workout room and a coin-op laundry room with washer and dryer.

Had car trouble on New Years Eve. Checked in and was delighted by front desk personal Michelle and Nadia. All smiles. John the night auditor too plenty of smiles. This is rare for a night auditor as they usually choose their job not having to deal with people. The upgrade in a/c and heating controls seem to have a few bugs still in them. TV screen was too small for the spacious room. Bathroom is nice and large too. Rug, really nice and thick carpeting makes it a dream to walk on. Though entranceway was not and naturally the bathroom too there was no coldness to ones barefoot touch. Kids rule. Perfect for the family as the breakfast included had everything one could wish for. Granola, when was the last time you enjoyed this at a hotel breakfast. Naturally the fruit loop container emptied fast. Orange juice was not, it dispensed cold water. Apples and oranges were supermarket size. Line at waffle maker. Hotel was sold out the previous three nights. There are none to match the quality here. One thing the bathroom could use would be rainforest shower heads. Hot water in about 2 minutes, as it is winter time. Lighting in the lobby and breakfast area supurb. Rooms were quiet, no outside street noise. Noise absent from adjoining rooms too. 3 not 2 large bath towels and accompanying smaller ones are nice. Clean hallways and rooms. Quick telephone response. One can see their smiles. .Pantry is well stocked and the dining area pleasantly decorated. Accompanying photos may be sideways as Trip Advisor has not corrected their bugs in the system. Elevator is quick, quicker than most of a three story abode. Entrance has two double doors and driveway is quite convenient Starbucks is at the corner. Quick trip to the Steinbeck Center. Secret, Cannery Row use to be called Ocean View until the publication of John Steinbeck's ”Cannery Row”. John was born in Salinas. Only until the early 1960's did the population of the Salinas Valley outnumber that of the Monterey Peninsula. John would not recognize it now. My grandfather S.F.B. Morse (Google) knew him well. John wrote his novels in Pacific Grove, a town grandad owned. Before he became famous for ”The Grapes of Wrath,” he wrote a column for a San Francisco newspaper entitled, ”Migrant Gypsies.”. Salinas would not be Salinas if it were not for agriculture. All the lettuce America eats comes from Salinas. Easy freeway 101 access, connecting to the Monterey exit. Salinas is the county capital too. Hotel is safe no car break ins at night. Microwave and large personal refrigerator are handy especially if you have kids. Train stops here. For those who enjoy the Coast Starliner from Los Angeles to San Francisco the hotel is 5 Uber minutes away. Not much to do in Salinas at night, so relax here. Gordon the general manager and Larissa the guest service manager will do everything to assure that your stay is a pleasant one. Once you stay, except for car trouble you wil

Breakfast is very simple. The hotel has a small open-air swimming pool, where children can bubble their feet after breakfast, and unknown water birds will fall by the swimming pool. It is not scary at all. Health is ok, much better than Days Hotel. I chose this because the hotels in Monterey during the summer are too expensive, the prices here are much more affordable and the service is good. When we checked out, we left a backpack in our room, and when we came back, the service staff found it directly.

Nice and clean suite motel with a gym at the Courtyard next door. The breakfast had a good selection. The staff was great. It needed a little updating .I got the best price through the Marriott website but make sure you CONFIRM it when you check it and get it in writing with your email registration from Marriott and your counter girl. My bill WAS NOT what I was quoted on my Marriott guarantee. There is an enclosed swimming pool and hot tub and no need to reserve a suite since they all are. Just another way to increase the price. A little older hotel but clean and the staff makes up for the few issues they have.

The scale is quite large and the price is not expensive, which is an advantage. The disadvantage is that the bathroom is not clean and there are hairs from the customers in front. I have already paid for it at Ctrip, but the front desk charged me at the beginning. Although it was unintentional, there were still problems with the management. I said I wanted a quiet room, because my mother had a heart attack when she was old, but she arranged for me to be on the road and changed it after repeated requests. This experience was not good. There is no breakfast, but that's fine, continental breakfast is only $5.

If you're looking for a place that's reasonably priced and clean and convienient, this is it. Don't expect bells and whistles. The rooms are small compared to other similar hotel/motels, but it's right off the highway and there is a Denny's and Jack in the Box right next door. The staff at the front desk are awesome! Lisa and Angela were very friendly and helpful (five stars for them!). Again, pretty basic place but our room was clean every day with fresh towels and we had no issues.
