HAMPTON INN & SUITES SALINAS REVIEWS

I travel up and down the coast for work. This is my spot in Salinas. Hilton Diamond. Anthony tonight blew my mind with custie service making sure my heater was good. Staff are always on point here. Electric charging underground makes you feel safe from the small homeless camp by the 101. Tons of feral cats to admire and say "good morning!" to on the back side. Starbucks always on point in the parking lot for getting that work in before grindin' on the 101.

We commonly stay at Hampton Inns and this was a good one. Highly recommended. Better than your average Hampton Inn breakfast, friendly staff.

Excellent! Clean and quiet room and good parking. Centrally located. The people at the counter were very nice.

HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS & SUITES SALINAS REVIEWS

Excellent hotel! Clean and fresh no matter where we went in the hotel. Staff was incredibly helpful. The ability to have two king beds in one room is outstanding! I wish all hotels offered this. Room always very clean and spacious. The breakfast staff was great. Be try helpful and smiles all around! Would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling through the area.

The entire stay was great! The front desk personnel was professional and seemed happy to be there! The room was immaculate! The hotel is very clean and the breakfast is outstanding… typical IHG hotel! Absolutely fantastic comfort and cleanliness! Veronica and Jimencia were so pleasant.

We stayed here for a weekend and were pleasantly surprised at the great quality of the hotel, specially the rooms. Our room had two king size beds. They were comfortable, very clean, and spacious. The best part about this hotel was the breakfast. Delicious complete breakfast. We loved it.

BEST WESTERN SALINAS MONTEREY HOTEL REVIEWS

One of the better Best Western’s I’ve ever stayed at, and I am a “Diamond Select” Member, so I have stayed at a lot! It is close to the freeway so if you’re on that side of the hotel you may hear it a bit, but it is minimal. The rooms are pretty large and clean. Larry at the front desk is awesome! Very helpful and attentive. Definitely a good value stay.

This hotel is very good! The staff is very friendly and helpful, the hotel is clean, the rooms are big and clean with all of the amenities one could need while out on business or vacation. The rate was great and breakfast was included. In my case, we were passing through and needed a place to stop and sleep. This Best Western was just the right place for us.

I always stay at best western. They have the best customer service. Best staff and best Pillows.
