Holiday Inn Express & Suites Salinas by IHG

Pro: I come to Salinas about every month and a half for work, and this is the first time I’ve been able to stay at this hotel since it’s usually fully booked. I’m glad I finally got a room because it’s a great hotel. The rooms are nice and the bed is incredibly comfy—truly, the bed is comfy! I’ve stayed at several hotels on this same street and every single one had super hard beds, but this place was totally different. The breakfast is delicious with real food options, and every staff member I’ve interacted with has been genuinely kind. I really hope I’m able to snag a room here the next time I’m in town. Cons: The entire area is a bit sketchy, to be honest, but I did notice a police officer driving by a few nights which was nice, and I haven’t had a single issue during my stay. Also, ther

They have a short bus that comes here every morning. The bus sits outside from 3:00am-6:00am. The bus revs its engine or its air conditioner turns on every 30 seconds and it’s super loud. The front desk person said they would make a note and move my room. The other side of the hotel is the freeway side. I specifically booked this side so it would be quieter. Just ask the bus operator to turn it off when he gets here. But nope it couldn’t be done and a note instead. I travel for work regularly and this makes me not want to stay here anymore. A guy needs peace and quiet so he can work the next day. This caused me to miss my work appointment and I will not be staying here at this hotel anymore unless they have a discussion with the operator of the company and let them know that they are disr

I loved the pillows so much I ended up purchasing the ones from my room. I had the best sleep and I would definitely come back to stay. Breakfast was amazing too many choices. This will be my choice for stays anytime going forward. Everything is so comfortable and clean too. Which I appreciate

This hotel seemed quite expensive to us when we booked, but the price compares favourably with nearby similar hotels. The front reception staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was excellent - large and comfortable, with plenty of storage space, a refrigerator and a safe. We really liked the large, modern, clean bathroom and the shower. There was some traffic noise, but it wasn't too intrusive. Parking was fine. The only negative, and this went for all the California hotels we stayed at on this trip, was the breakfast. Plastic cutlery and plates seemed cheap and nasty. The food compares very unfavourably with the breakfast fare we enjoyed in England and Scotland hotels we were at prior to our trip to California.

Paid 150 for the night. Had very clean rooms with very large beds and very spacious room. Very nice gym and hotel had fresh hot breakfast as well which was free. Free parking and very safe area as well. I’m very satisfied with the price location and kindness of the staff
