When I checked in, my bathroom had an unpleasant odor and the telephone did not work. I went down to the front desk to request another room. The "lady" who was working the desk wanted to argue rather than simply accommodating me. She told me that the room had been cleaned and that if there was anything wrong with it,... More

The Howard Johnson Suite in Salinas is a clean, reasonable choice with a polite staff. But beware of booking with HotelSavings.com! In January I canceled a booking at this hotel, received a confirmation, and then my credit card was charged over $90 for a hotel room I never used. The manager of the Salinas Howard Johnson's confirmed that he received... More

Stayed there for a night after a long ride from Morro Bay. Planned to stay at Monterey, but it was too expensive. Howard Johnson at Salinas was not to far (25 minutes away), at a very reasonable price. Free WiFi. Lots of parking. Small breakfast included. If you're on the road, consider this one...

Booked here as despite being more expensive than others it had a number of good reviews. Unfortunately this was a mistake. Don't get me wrong the rooms are clean and it is easy to find being right on a main road thru salinas. However our room was right on the road just a pavement width from the trucks and cars... More

Hotel overall was so so. Price was great, neighborhood not so great! Area seemed to familiar for prostitution as we seen a few pulling in to town. Room was clean.

I travel to the coastal area of CA quite a bit and have stayed at various hotels on the coast, but this one ended up being my favorite spot and now I stay here 1-2 times per month. It's not beachfront property, however, it is a short drive to the coast from this hotel. If you're looking for reasonable prices,... More

This hotel on the "old" side and shows it. But the managment obviously tries hard and were very responsive to any prblems that came up. The area is the old "historic" area of downtown Salinas and I enjoyed walking around and trying the small, privately owned restaurants downtown. However, Salinas's downtown suffers from the usual afflictions like panhandlers and prostitution... More
