This property is in a very good area of Salinas. Many places in downtown are easily accessible. If you are a tourist visiting Carmel-by-the-Sea or on a road trip, this is a great place to stay and commute from. The rooms are very clean, spacious, and full of the amenities you will need. I highly recommend it!

I relied on the Expedia reviews and selecting this facility, and was not disappointed. It was perfect for my needs for a quick two nights stay in the area. Only one complaint – the excessively loud rap music played by some construction workers in the parking lot Friday night until 9 PM or so.
