Residence Inn Salinas Monterey

Convenient location with Walmart and Costco right there—no gas station at Costco—it’s tired. Needs some updating. The bathtubs eithere need to be deglazed or turned into showers. They drain so slow when showering. The furniture is worn and sofa cushions saggy. The staff were very nice. Breakfast didn’t have any cut up fresh fruit only whole oranges. You’d think in California there’d be more fruit. It was clean. Let’s just say it was adequate. I’d stay here again if in the area.

Very nice hotel with a two room suite for our family of five. The room came with a fully stocked kitchen, breakfast was your standard fare. The rooms were clean. They use Shampoo and conditioner and body wash in the bathroom. There was no lotion. The parking lot was easy to navigate. Parking is $12 a day. I would recommend

Typical Residence Inn in Salinas, in a quiet area and about 30 minutes drive from Monterey. Rooms are very wide and well equipped, but a bit dated. My aircon was broken and the control was not working. Breakfast buffet was acceptable but nothing special. Price is quite high for the value.

My husband and I stay at Marriott frequently. While staying at this Marriott, I broke out and he had to toe rash all over my body, one of the doors to the bedroom would not close because a screw is sticking out, there was an entire piece missing underneath the dishwasher that exposed, electrical and other things, and the handle for the door knob going into one of the bathrooms was also broken. Our room was supposed to have a fireplace and it did not. In addition to this, when we went downstairs for the complementary breakfast, the bagels and English muffins had mold on them. I am super disappointed, and would not stay here again.

Nice and clean suite motel with a gym at the Courtyard next door. The breakfast had a good selection. The staff was great. It needed a little updating .I got the best price through the Marriott website but make sure you CONFIRM it when you check it and get it in writing with your email registration from Marriott and your counter girl. My bill WAS NOT what I was quoted on my Marriott guarantee. There is an enclosed swimming pool and hot tub and no need to reserve a suite since they all are. Just another way to increase the price. A little older hotel but clean and the staff makes up for the few issues they have.

OKAY 👍🏽 Someone deliberately installed a smoke detector directly over bed! This thing is not only industrial size, but has the brightness of the Solar Sun! No matter how you lay in the bed, that light is directly in the eyes! We had to put sticky notes painted black just to dim the thing. Huhhhh?! Bathtub: rust and chipped OLD tub! But brand new towel fixtures. I didn’t bathe in that. How can I ? It was gross and I am understating. Door lock- deadbolt would randomly lock and be stuck. So we have to fiddle with it and even told the front desk and they said oh you should use your keys then pop it up two times so it will work. Huh?!?? Charged $12 per night to park in an Empty and large lot. Huh?!?!! Pool was out for maintenance- for all the days we were there! Kept saying it should be ready tomorrow. HUH!?!!! Kitchen had incomplete dish set and silverware set and only on pan, need at least two to make most meals. So we asked for one and they did bring it up along with salt which had run out. They use the tiny salt container so we ended up using all of both. Appliances worked well Housekeeping every other day was fine Houseman- I think that’s what they called the runner they use for this and that- he was super nice and friendly and very polite Front desk- seem to know the low quality of the hotel and are probably helpless in this regard. As a Marriott franchise this should be embarrassing. This is a beautiful town with good people and there’s just no excuse for this place to be like this. The decor was good so pictures can look nice but go visit before you book. For us- this was a business trip and we didn’t spend much time in the room and could not use the amenities because they were broken The breakfast was the same continental and no coffee 24h. I would probably never book here again. Now that I’m thinking about it, I should have just called management but here I am making a long post that even annoys me.
