The hotel was fantastic and we stayed here for 4 nights. The continental breakfast was some of the best I have had from a hotel. The coffee machines are available 24/7 and grinds and brews fresh coffee. We had a room with two king beds which is hard to find, but we appreciated very much. Rooms were comfortable and clean. The only complaint I have is the laundry room only had one washer and dryer that took $6 in quarters and closed at night.

The room was updated and clean. Breakfast was warm, and they kept refilling everything. Everyone was super helpful. I had my doubts about staying in Salinas over Monterey, but I got a larger room, free breakfast, and an updated hotel for a way better price than anything in Monterey. Very pleased with my choice as it was centrally located between the areas we were going to (leaving Pinnacles National Park and heading into Big Sur)
