I was very impress with what was provided except the complimentary breakfast was suppose to start at 7am; this did not happen either day I was there.
The room was very clean and well maintained. There was no musty smell.
The days I was there it was quiet at night so I slept well.
The location is just off the 101 hyway so easy to get wherever you are going.

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.

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.

Not recommended for reservation
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.

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.
