Guest Reviews

• Janette (10/5): - Excelente lugar esta muy secas las tiendas
• Cortez (9/5): -
• Steven (1/5): Never again - Never staying here again! The owners were rude and racist twords me
• Thomas (6/5): Good motel for the price -
• Rolando (3/5): - The bathroom was dirty and the floor was dirty
• Garrett (10/5): -
• Bryanna (1/5): - Nothing. Our room was dirty. Covered in hair in the bathroom. It was clear it hadn’t been wiped even the toilet covered in pee. Asked the front desk agent about it and instead of offering a discount or room switch she yelled and said no refunds and that she wouldn’t even bother to come see the room. Keep in mind I had my 3 year old and it was not even sanitary enough for him to take a bath. Disappointing. Especially for $300 for one night.
• Mekdelawit (10/5): -
• Arthur (1/5): Horrible rude discriminatory owners - I booked this hotel specifically because it was next door to the American Legion where I was supporting my father, a local musician. I was looking forward to a safe place to stay after the event. Unfortunately, I never even made it past the lobby. Upon arrival, I was treated with extreme hostility and judgment by the staff. They refused to check me in or honor my prepaid reservation based on a subjective smell. I was polite, cooperative, and explicitly stated I would follow all property rules, but they were hateful and dismissive. They refused to provide the room but still kept my money. It is incredibly disappointing to see a local business treat someone this way—especially someone trying to be responsible by booking a room instead of driving. If you’re looking for basic professional courtesy or "hospitality," look elsewhere.
• Jorge (1/5): Nunca más a ese hotel - El baño sucio., Marcas de que no lo lavan., Regadera super sucia, y la señora supongo que es la dueña te grita solo por decirle que el cuarto era muy pequeño. El estacionamiento siempre vacío sin carros así sea fin de semana. Ahora entiendo el porque.
• Ruiz (10/5): - Good location, friendly and helpful staff. Clean room.
• Debra (10/5): - The room was clean and it didn't smell
• Irene (8/5): -
• Patrizia (7/5): - Sauber, ausreichend Platz, gut zu erreichen, Parkplatz vor dem Zimmer
• Janette (10/5): -
• Jeanie (1/5): Would not recommend anyone wanting a good nights rest to stay here. - Nothing. The bed was extremely uncomfortable it was like sleeping on the ground. The bedding was of cheap quality and I hardly got any rest. The staff was rude and when we checked out we received a very nasty phone call from the owner and she was very rude and disrespectful. Accusing us of stealing a top sheet. We turned around and went back and welcomed her to check our vehicle in our bags because we did not take a top sheet and she continued to raise her voice and be very disrespectful and inappropriate. It wasn’t until we threaten to file a complaint with OSHA is when she finally backed off and he husband just stood there and was of no support. By the way, she was treating us. You would’ve thought that we caught the room on fire.

The lady at the reception had the worst manners, she would smack the table while speaking to me and didn’t accept debit cards. 2. The room smelled like strong paint, blankets had yellow and white stains, the bed was extremely squeaky, really thin walls you can hear everyone’s foot steps.

• Jessica (1/5): Do not recommend - Located near stores Not clean, staff will not do maid service every day. Not 24hr staffed. Beds are small and not comfy. Blow dryers didn’t work and no iron.
• Lemuz (6/5): Everything was great with exception of the rules to check in, I think they should specify the requirements. - The location and that it was smoke free Everything on the property was great
• Eyda (10/5): Good experience! - Nice place! Nothing!
• Adrianna (1/5): BULLSHIT - Absolutely nothing. The lady at the front desk made me have two cards on file and called me dumb and accused me of being a sex worker

• Omar (8/5): Very good -
• Esther (7/5): We need a place to rest for the night - It was open and we needed to sleep The beds
• Carlos (1/5): Horrible I would not stay there again even if it was free. - Location was in the hood. Owner female was rude at check in yelling obnoxiously, unprofessional, crying bloody murder that she's being harassed totally false. She is bi-polar and should not be in the customer service business. The rooms had an odor to them, beds hard, stains on the blankets, and floors dirty. Do your self a favor and avoid this hotel at all costs not worth it and the Managment is horrible. Get new ownership.
• Lorenzo (6/5): Pleasant -
• Humberto (10/5): Exceptional -
• Esmeralda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lucio (4/5): Disappointing - It was pretty clean and have ur personal parking It wasn’t time to check out yet and I was already getting told I have to go they even tried opening my door I did not feel comfortable
• Thomas (6/5): Pleasant - Facial tissue was not provided
• Chris (1/5): Beware of Credit Card Fraud - Beware! There is fraud and bait and switch! The person at the front desk said that they needed to take a deposit for incidentals and damages. However, they swiped my card twice. I asked about the second one and she said it would be cancelled. It was not. I disputed it with my credit card company and they contacted the hotel which only provided the cancellation of one. Now I have to deal with the dispute still to get the deposit reversed. We left the room immaculate. They charged my credit card and are claiming that the hold was reversed but they only reversed one of them not both.
• Steven (4/5): Disappointing - Poor security. I made a mistake going to my room and found the key for my room opened the wrong room as well.
• Armani (1/5): Would not recommend. - They had a room with two separate beds available. The cleanliness. The bathroom was still dirty, dirty mirror, hair clumps in the bath and on the floor etc. I woke up with bite marks on my body, the bed had mites or bed bugs.
• Kodi (1/5): The staff was extremely rude and language barrier did not help the situation. I will never go back. - Nothing The staff
• Bernie (10/5): Overall great. Plan on staying there again when we are back in Salinas in October. - Location, location, location! Close to family, food, places I had to be. The noise at night.
• Raymond (9/5): Superb - The wagon wheel was a pleasant surprise it was a very cool place very old school hotel very clean and the location was not that far from the free way. I would stay here again and the price was very reasonable. you should check it out and it was very safe....
• Jocelynn (3/5): Poor -
• Benjamin (1/5): It worth $120 - It’s on Main Street so it’s pretty close to everything and the beds are comfortable The staff, they’re just too much. I’ve booked a lot of hotels and it shouldn’t be difficult to pay for a hotel room but they make it difficult.
• Manuel (1/5): horrible - nothing could not communicate with lady at the desk
• Debbie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Debbie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Orozcorios (1/5): Bad - I booked a room to stay with my kids and when I arrived lady was super rude and very poor customer service because the computer was down she was even more rude I told her I drove a long way with my kids and her response was "I don't care the computer is down" very rude I went back the next day and she was still rude with poor customer service will not go back there again Needs a lot of improvement with customer service
• Chris (8/5): No frills old school motel, clean room. - This place is old school which I like, very clean, staff was friendly unlike some of the reviews I read. The room was a bit old however it was very clean. Overall I thought it was a good value. Water pressure in the shower was a bit low but it got the job done.
• Bruce (7/5): Good -
• Debbie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charlene (10/5): Exceptional - Rooms showet was clean
• Mykenzi (4/5): Very underwhelming. Disappointed in staff for trying to scam active duty military just trying to PCS. - Person at front desk tried to scam $20 from by saying there was an extra vehicle price that was listed nowhere on the details of the hotel or in the hotel office, and insisted it could only be paid by cash despite the fact that the room was paid for by card and if this was a necessary purchase you would imagine I’d be able to pay it with the price of my room. Sketchy.
• Debbie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (1/5): Bad -
• Ahmed (7/5): Good -
• Debbie (10/5): Happyand relaxing - Anna and Henry are so very nice. Feel like I've known them forever. A safe and very quiet Place. I can't really think of anything I did not like If your looking for a clean, safe place on your visit to Salinas, this is the one👍
• Angel (1/5): Bad - NA Front desk lady was extremely rude and very short tempered. I was approached with very poor service when booking a room for my family and I, I did not feel welcomed or encouraged to stay after constant difficulties and rude behavior from her. I booked a room online, called and was confirmed that my room was booked only to be asked again to pay for the room and deposit again once checking in, Instead of explaining and helping me understand that they do not book through apps and are required to pay everything upon arrival, I was treated poorly being told to read their policy with no direction on where to find it or how to solve this issue. I was eventually denied a room because of our difficulties and she also took away a room from a lady that was initially there to ask for clean blankets and towels because theirs were stained that tried helping me and us resolve this issue.
• Debbie (10/5): Very comfortable - Close to work,Anna and Henry greet you at the front desk make you feel like family. As if you had known them for a long time make you feel like fa! Mil Lily
• Parrish (10/5): Exceptional -

• Alejandro (4/5): Disappointing -
• Robin (8/5): Very good -
• Sabine (7/5): Super expensive for a regular motel room - location close to supermarkets Way too expensive for a regular motel room
• Debbie (10/5): Exceptional - The people who run this place are great.Very, very nice 🙂
• Arin (1/5): Bad - Nothing Front desk clerk kicked me out before I even checked in. Screaming at me.
• Marianne (6/5): Not worth the $300 per night. Price gouging because if the Concours De Elegance. - The night club behind the property.
• Leslie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Margaret (7/5): Efficient, clean, and a good deal. - I liked the location and how easy it was to find. The room key and the door lock did not get along. It took me several tries to unlock the door each time.
• Dulce (4/5): Not able to rest - When we got there we had the chance to see all the oldies cars on Main Street, we went walking to a Chinese restaurant that is a few blocks from this place and we stopped by because I was able to booked at the last minute online It was the second time staying at this place, the first time we don’t experience anything out of the ordinary but this time, room wasn’t clean enough, toilet had crusty sides, shower had hairs and wasn’t clean, zing handles were dirty or stained, the room had a smell too and comforter had this white spots in the inside, I’m just wondering what it was, not staying there again, the most important of all, pillows were super skinny and old, that not even folding them in half worked, I had to put a blanket of my own to be able to sleep a couple of hours and rest after a long trip
• Rachel (5/5): Passable - Cleanliness The lady at check-in was rather unpleasant
