Top Salinas Hotel Reviews

Hotel Pacific

8/10 Good

"This hotel is beautiful & is close to everything. The rooms are spacious & nice . The breakfast was good. My only complaint was that our room was on the ground floor facing the street. I asked to change rooms if possible but staff member said no because all pet friendly rooms were on the ground floor. The 2nd floor also has street side because the hotel sits on different levels. She did not even discuss other rooms options with me. We pay an additional $50 for our pet & we don’t get other options. This isn’t right."

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

8/10 Good

"It is a nice facility. The only complaint I have is that there is absolutely NO service - no matter how long you stay. You have to take out your own trash and ask for clean towels. This is not something we've had to deal with at any other Motel 6."

The Stevenson Monterey

8/10 Good

"Good location The hotel is simple but it’s worth what we paid for"

Sand Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and the room was very clean and updated."

Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The downside was that there was no self parking available- there was only valet parking."

Monarch Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Good for an overnight stay."

Stargazer Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and seemed like newly renovated rooms. Very minor, but I noticed the tp holder was torn from the wall but reporting it to the front desk was seamless. I appreciate the social area outside with cute string lights."

Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Good location for route 1 , bars and restaurants and the harbour but long walk to cannery row area. car parking charge is excessive and unnecessary in my opinion. Breakfast not included and restaurant we thought was expensive so did not use it and walked 5 mins into town. Pool nice touch"
