We stayed two nights and were very pleased. We had asked for a quiet room when making the reservation, and they reserved a very nice room for us on the 3rd floor. The view from our room was relaxing as we could see the fields of lettuce being harvested and the beautiful hills in the background. We also enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. There was quite the selection of items to choose from. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

Property was very clean, staff were professionals, rooms were very clean. About 45-60 mins from Carmel and point lobos. Is a newer built hotel maybe ten years old. Much bwtter condition than any of the other hotels in this city. Has a gym, pool, and hottub! Free holiday style breakfast. They actually had a very nice coffee machine that grinded the beans for each cup of coffee. Not the generic drip coffee!

Great choice for an overnight in Salinas. My only grief was from the guests above us and the lack of sound separation. Unfortunately, this is a problem in almost every hotel. Otherwise, highly recommend.
