Salinas Castle Hotels

"The parking was very secure in a garage under the hotel. They obviously power wash this area. I spoke with the maintenance guy and he confirmed they power wash it a lot. "

"The room was big spacious, so comfortable. They accommodated my cats had everything I needed. That baseball was awesome all the way around the property. Everything is clean nice very well-kept I would come back."

"Really good living experience "

"Loved the mid century modern decor. Breakfast at the restaurant was very good."

"Portola is great! We stay there whenever we go to Monterey, the hotel is great, the employees couldn't be more helpful, the location is the best in walking distance to so many things which i really love. Don't hesitate on booking this place."

"Room was clean and cozy. Staff were friendly and helpful. I liked the location, there was so much within walking distance. Downsides: the old hotel has a weird layout, it’s hard to navigate and although there is an elevator, I still had to drag luggage up some stairs and through narrow corridors. No onsite parking so you have to pay extra to park, and again you have to carry luggage around."

"Clean and charming "

"Clean room, outside property clean and attractive. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice location. Easy access to downtown."

"Stayed here during IMSA race weekend at Laguna Seca — at $120+/night, expectations were modest but the value still felt like a stretch. Amenities are bare bones: soap only, no mini fridge (available for an extra nightly charge), and no housekeeping for our four-night stay — you have to swap towels and sheets yourself at the front desk during the day. That said, the room was genuinely clean, and as a non-smoker who is very sensitive to cigarette smell, I can honestly say there was zero smoke odor — a pleasant surprise for a Motel 6. If you're just looking for a place to crash during a busy race weekend and can manage without the extras, it gets the job done."
