10/10 Exceptional

Downtown excellent location hotel.
Daniel, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

For the price point in Downtown Salinas, the accommodations were nice and average. Thank You.
Michael, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

If you’re in a pinch
Sunny D and Costco granola bars are not breakfast. Rooms could use a thorough deep cleaning. Mattresses probably cost 80 bucks new 10 years ago. Pillows are small square and stuffed full of ground up memory foam that sounds comfortable in theory but my neck is still sore even 24hrs after checkout. Husband and wife team who run it. The wife was nice. The husband gave the impression that I was bothering him when I asked him for extra towels. Conveniently located two blocks away from Starbucks.

Sliding Mattress
If you try sitting up on the bed to watch TV from a laying down position the mattress slides forward as to almost fall backwards.

6/10 Good

The hotel was clean, but needs definite updating. It needs a little updating because it’s old.
Chryl, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Paper thin walls and stark industrial neighborhood made this a place we wanted to leave in the rear view. The room was spare but clean. Nice TV. The walls are thin, and the landings echo, hear the

Bathroom sink backed up
On prior stays at Howard Johnson’s I had no problems, but this time the bathroom sink was backed up, and it took 15 minutes of running the water to get hot water! What a waste. There was mold on our sheets as well.
Joan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

For one or two days of business trip and the price this place is pretty OK
Akop, 1-night trip

christopher, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close to the Steinbeck Center and walking distance to main street with some great places to eat and drink.

4/10 Fair

Pretty disappointing
Various hairs, not mine all over in bathroom, no stopper in sink. No dispenser for toilet paper just sat on ledge, splashes of stuff on the wall. Drug dealsnoutnof another room fri nite and what sounded like a porn shoot above me sat nite for 90 minutes then 4 people left the room empty 1:30 am. Daily breakfast offered was coffee, sunny D and a tiny granola bar. Not doing again there

4/10 Fair

I'm very surprised that Howard Johnson would put their name on it. Must be recieving substantial payments for the name. Our visit was a emergency visit to the area otherwise I would have requested a refund and stayed elsewhere. Room wasn't entirely cleaned after last guest. Never stay again!
Don, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A bit pricy for a place with peeling paint and confusing signage.
James, 1-night trip

Constant stomping upstairs in 307
Vincent, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff charge 100 deposit and your advertising says 50 no continental breakfast and the refrigerator in the room was making to much noise I was planning to stay another night and I changed my mind I don’t recommend for this price I can stay at motel 6
