Good value for money and beat expectations
The place was very clean, beds comfy and room spacious. The breakfast was very good for the money and plentiful! Oatmeal, waffles, coffee, yogurt, juice.
The hotel/motel is situated near a main highway so you could hear traffic/ sirens but we did sleep.
The staff was great and helpful, they offer a breakfast buffet which is so nice. Property was quiet, rooms are nice, modern, beds are so comfortable, room has iron & board, hair blow dryer, fridge, microwave & coffee pot. I definitely will make that my spot to stay when visiting Salinas.
This was a last minute trip. So booked hotel the same day. It was perfect right off the fwy. Very convenient, easy to park and check in. Breakfast had decent options like cereal yogurt fruit wafle maker and coffee
We reserved two different Quality Inns during our trip, and the Quality Inn Salinas room is significantly older, less clean and less quiet. For breakfast the dining room is very small ( only 3 tables for two) and few types of food are available.
We are tourists from Russia. 2 adults and a child. We liked: a friendly and pleasant person at the reception. It is very important for us that it is quiet when visiting, and it was. It is also quite clean. Light breakfast, washing of personal things are included in the price. Convenient location, nice price.

VERY interesting area ! Must read !!
First and Foremost, this “hotel” is right on the most popular street for prostitution just FYI… Secondly, the freeway is right in front so just be aware of noise levels lol. Will I ever stay there again ? Probably not.. The place definitely needs renovating. Broken furniture, lights out , loud exhaust fan , etc..
I will say that the bed was comfy . Overall , my stay was ok but like I said ..just keep in mind the 2 things I mentioned above that way you can make the call to stay or not.
This was most affordable option in the area. It wasn't much. Check in was friendly but had to call to open breakfast room next morning. Black mold in shower. Holes in shower curtain complete with wonky shower faucet. At least sheets were clean & mattress was newer and vwry comfortable.

Hello, I would like people who like to stay awake to go to the space below if they want and like to party, so that people who are locked up can rest and take advantage of the service and the place to limp.
