We had to change hotels at the last minute and the friendly staff took us in with no problems. Rate was very good. Room was clean. We really have no complaints and this hotel is now on our list of places to stay when coming to the Monterey area.

Really wish I had read these reviews before we booked this dump but hindsight is such a wonderful thing. Do bring earplugs......... as you will be sitting right on top of a freeway. The sound-proofing is non-existent and you can hear people using the toilet, having sex, talking/swearing from the rooms either side of you and above you. Not a... More

I stay at this hotel at least 2-3 times per month when I am in town on business. The rooms are always clean and tidy. The staff in the lobby are always courteous and helpful. I really like the free wi-fi internet at this hotel because it's is pretty fast and I like to watch netflix while I'm here. Breakfast... More

When we arrived at Americas Best Value Inn Salinas and entered our room a whiff of pot filled our noses. The service changed our room quickly. In our new room the comforters were dirty and under the bed was filthy. The towels were rough and small. Breakfast was poor, there was no seating so we had to carry our food... More

The hotel is laid out like a large L with few/some of the rooms facing semi away from... More

When we got there we were charged an additional $15 for our room because it had two beds even though she had mentioned to us that she had just sold out the last one bed to the customer before us. The room was dingy and the comforter had stains on it that looked like blood. The blankets were extremely old... More

Lobby looked like walls had been patched from bad construction on worse. Neighborhood is shabby and a bit scary, especially after dark. Front desk clerk demanded credit card in case I (63 years old) destroyed the room. Did not stay; hotel refused a refund. This was a franchise; corporate takes little or no responsbility for quality of stay.

Not the worst hotel I've ever seen, but we were very disappointed. The staff is friendly, but the "continental breakfast" was a joke and the highway noise is deafening.
