I've come to this same motel in Salinas at least 5 times and it's overall pretty quiet. I always request a downstairs room and they have no problem accommodating me with that. It's a motel 6 so it's not lavishing but it's average and everyone is always nice. Check in and check out is fine and overall it's great for the price.

Cheap room, cheap amenities

I was here for 5 nights. Ice machine broken the whole week. The AC/heat unit in the room did not work. No tissue paper in room. Bath tub had multiple patch jobs on it. When I asked for new towels, they had me go to their laundry room and get it myself. A few good things, they had a security guard at night. Inexpensive room. Gave out a parking pass to make sure you were staying there.
