Overall, a nice place, good staff, good breakfast , fairly priced. Needs a little maintenance. Obvious damage to wall around air conditioner from a leak. Bathroom tile grout is very dirty, time to re-grout or something. The microwave carousel had the wrong plate inside so it wouldn’t spin.

For what it is, the motel serves its purpose. However, the cleanliness of the bathroom was very poor, which was disappointing.

I knew what to expect

Staying at this motel in Salinas at times for more than 40 years, I like the cost and location. One bad thing, but not a problem on this trip for us, I asked the Front Desk about the inop ice machine and if they had a second machine on the property. No was the answer and during check out, they told me about a machine at the pool area, too late now.
