Hampton Inn & Suites Salinas, hotel in Salinas

Located in Salinas just 25 minutes' drive from Monterey, the Hampton Inn & Suites Salinas offers an indoor pool and a fitness centre.

Breakfast was great! Thank you so much! The location was not great in that my friend had her bike rack stolen off of her car in the middle of the night even though it had two locks on it locking it to her vehicle. She had two bikes to transport the next morning to the bike race plus kids and gear. Major headache for her. She has another race coming up and is not able to bring a second bike because she cannot afford a bike rack. I liked that Starbucks was right there in the morning too. I am addicted to coffee.

Laurel Inn & Conference Center, hotel in Salinas

Situated 3 km from the home of Nobel Prize winning author John Steinbeck, the Laurel Inn & Conference Center features on-site dining and an outdoor pool and hot tub. All guest rooms include free WiFi....

It was a room. At the end of the day that’s what I paid for. But only one electrical outlet worked. When we requested a repair it was not accomplished. The WiFi did not work. It took (4) phone calls to the front desk to get the TV to work. The hotel advertised a hot continental breakfast, but only offered cut up muffins and cold cereal. It was just a room. That was the only true accomplishment. Actually, the water pressure and heated water was good as well.

    The Steinbeck Center is a must.

    The Steinbeck Center is a must. I had breakfast at a local coffee shop on Main street, a few blocks away from the Steinbeck center. I can't remember the name, but the food was good and affordable. The staff was great. Seems like a draw for the locals.

    A little farther from Monterey than I would have liked.

    A little farther from Monterey than I would have liked. Took 45 minutes with traffic. Went to Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant in salinas. The chefs make it interactive, So much fun to watch them prepare the meal, the food was fantastic and my 8 year old loved it.

    There is a one day reason to stay in Salinas, John Steinbeck Museum. Unfortunately booking.com is trying to charge us for TWO Nights. I am on the verge of never using OR recommending them again. Please booking.com refund us for the night we did not stay at Salinas Best Western. We only stayed the ONE night .

    I came to Salinas in September of 2020 as a traveler for nuclear medicine. I was to be in Salinas for 2 months at Natividad hospital. At first I was disappointed that Monterey Car Week and other car events had been cancelled. I heard of the Salinas Cars and Coffee on Main Street near Starbucks. I met some really great guys there as well as going on a cruise held by the guys at Deadend Magazine. I have a newer muscle car but everyone was friendly and great! I was asked to extend my contract for another month and I agreed. It was sad to leave in November and return to my home in Las Vegas. I am currently back in Salinas working at Natividad. They requested me specifically while a staff member was off on medical leave. I was excited to have the opportunity to return and see everyone again. I love the city and the car culture here. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. As an example, I had issues with my brakes and one of the guys offered his tools, garage, and time to change them out for me. The weather is great and there is plenty to do and see here. Especially if you are into automobiles. There have been some vehicles here I have not seen since I was a kid. I have enjoyed my second stay just as much or more! It’s almost like a second home and I have made some great friends!!

    For us, being a block over from family is most convenient.

    For us, being a block over from family is most convenient. Good breakfast at the hotel. Everything in the hotel is clean and kept up. If you have a concern, the front desk is always accommodating. Our favorite spot is a brewery on Main St. near the Steinbeck Center. Salinas is centrally located to reach Monterey and Carmel within 30-45 minutes.

    The Steinbeck Center is informative, well laid out.

    The Steinbeck Center is informative, well laid out. I enjoyed the typewriting experience. Please visit The Steinbeck home and support the volunteers who maintain and run the beautiful home all year round. Patria is a wonderful restaurant in Old Town, serving Italian, German and Italian inspired food in a beautiful building. Great bookstores.

    The hotel staff were pretty nice and the rooms were decent. It's not the best area of town and we saw some homeless and prostitutes in the area but for the price it's not bad overall.
