Quality Inn Salinas

Not easy check-in. Door was locked when I arrived past 10 pm to check-in. Bathtub looks dirty with stains on it. Towels were not clean with some stains on it. Room needs to be renovated. Place doesn't look safe. Breakfast was terrible. There was no butter and the staff that was assigned in the dining area was not paying attention to the needs of the customers. Tables and chairs were dirty.

Not sure where to start with this but here goes..... The place is a dump. Dirty, dilapidated, kinda gross. Reserved 2 rooms for a night in June 2024. First impression, the lobby is not very inviting but hey, I'm not staying in the lobby and this is a "Quality" Inn, right? Room #1 had a missing smoke detector, a creepy unsealed attic access directly above the bed (peek-a-boo, i c u!), used tissues in the ice bucket, and used soap bars in the shower. The toilet handle is flopping around but still flushes the bowl (whew!), however when I saw the hairs on the bathroom floor I knew I would not be taking a shower here. The plastic mattress protector under the sheets makes for a crinkly, noisy night of sleep. Room #2 had a peculiar smell to it, the same plastic mattress protector, but what really set it off was the window. I'm not sure what year it was that it shattered, but it had been long enough for about an inch of putrid, rusty water to accumulate between the panes. Open that one at your own risk. Breakfast.... no way I was going to participate in that. But I'm certain it was delicious. Checkout was a breeze because the office is closed in the morning. You just drop your room key in the slot and hope for the best. Thankfully the final bill was ok. In summation I do not recommend this motel. The Motel 6 next door, and the Super 8 across the street looked a lot nicer. And both of those had pools too.

Comfortable and clean. Easy access to fast food after traveling. Pretty clean as well.

Although more affordable than other hotels of the area this was the least satisfactory of all our stays during a week in california. The mattress was covered in plastic which made me sleep very hot. The free breakfast was of only fair quality but was plentiful. The breakfast room could only accommodate about 7 people maximum and was very cramped at that level. Our room failed to have a hair dryer and it took a day for staff to find us one. Traffic in front of the hotel was heavy in mornings and evenings making access challenging. The room was normally functional other than these complaints.

First time I see a very unlike Quality Inn. The place is dirty and not well kept. Staff is unfriendly and unprofessional. Dinning area is very small and food is awful.
