Waffle and yogurt for bfast. Not many options. Convenient location. There is not a laundry on site. Location is close to gas stations, markets, and stores. Need some updates but relatively clean.
I was very impress with what was provided except the complimentary breakfast was suppose to start at 7am; this did not happen either day I was there.
The room was very clean and well maintained. There was no musty smell.
The days I was there it was quiet at night so I slept well.
The location is just off the 101 hyway so easy to get wherever you are going.
The staff was great and helpful, they offer a breakfast buffet which is so nice. Property was quiet, rooms are nice, modern, beds are so comfortable, room has iron & board, hair blow dryer, fridge, microwave & coffee pot. I definitely will make that my spot to stay when visiting Salinas.

Everything! Problems addressed & fixed immediately. Happy fun staff
The place was very clean, beds comfy and room spacious. The breakfast was very good for the money and plentiful! Oatmeal, waffles, coffee, yogurt, juice.
The hotel/motel is situated near a main highway so you could hear traffic/ sirens but we did sleep.
The onsite manager he is out of this world. helpful and quick to resolve any minor issues. room clean on a daily. amazing.
I will certainly stay with the family next time.
amazing hotel.
This was a last minute trip. So booked hotel the same day. It was perfect right off the fwy. Very convenient, easy to park and check in. Breakfast had decent options like cereal yogurt fruit wafle maker and coffee

Everything's wonderful, except no hot water!!! Clean and good sleep!
We are tourists from Russia. 2 adults and a child. We liked: a friendly and pleasant person at the reception. It is very important for us that it is quiet when visiting, and it was. It is also quite clean. Light breakfast, washing of personal things are included in the price. Convenient location, nice price.

Hello, I would like people who like to stay awake to go to the space below if they want and like to party, so that people who are locked up can rest and take advantage of the service and the place to limp.
