When I arrived at this hotel it was not like the photos looked. It’s very run down and in a very bad part of town, lots of homeless encampments and run down buildings. I booked it not knowing the area. There way no way I was staying there! I went into the lobby and asked if I could cancel my stay. The manager was very very gracious and canceled my stay and refunded my money. I really appreciated that.

The property was disgusting. Just to open the door was a bit of a challenge. The card reader wasn’t reading our key. Once we got inside our hotel, the sheets were dirty. It smelled awful in there. The walls were really dirty. The restroom looked a mess. We asked the man at the front desk for a different hotel room. He switched us to another one just near the same, this one had a hole in the bathroom door. After that, I just asked for a refund. I highly don’t recommend staying here.

The room desperately needs some upgrades. Carpet in room was worn, looked dirty with markers stains (from a Magic Marker or a Sharpie?). Armchair in shabby condition; didn't look very clean to sit in. TV/entertainment unit looked worn, the doors were not closing all the way where the refrigerator was housed. Bathroom had dark, moldy patches in the upper corners. The fan / ventilating unit didn't appear to be doing a good job of removing condensation from shower area, attibuting to mold growth.

Ice machine only on 2nd floor and did not work. Breakfast very limited options and open until 10AM, but out of options at 9:30. Sitting area with wicker furniture in photos is old and not enjoyable. Right off freeway entrance and very noisy. No water for guests. Room not fully upgraded. Bed is comfortable. Basic TV. Fairly clean, could have higher standards. Light in bathroom did not work, poor vanity lighting. Overall, it served its purpose but would not stay again. For price, along with comparable other nearby options, other hotels in area are better value.

This hotel was horrible! Every towel, face cloth, hand towel and bed sheet was stained. Black mold in the bathroom. The room smelled like it was recently smoked in with burn marks on all the tables. The carpets, all stained. The smoke alarm was wrapped in plastic. We had to ask for extra sheets to change the bed before we even slept in it. Front desk was no help. Do not stay here. By far, the worse hotel we have ever stayed at. Not to mention the illegal “activities” going on in the other rooms. Stay clear!

Booked two hotel rooms, both were in terrible condition with one of them smelling like smoke. The bedding had stains on it, the walls were filthy could use a wipe down. The bathroom walls were dirty alongside the bath tub was in horrible condition with just nasty build up. This place could definitely use a deep cleaning of its rooms!! The price was not cheap either for the “product” we recieved. Will not be returning here, save your money and go elsewhere.

First the positives. The bedding in the room was clean and the towels were clean as well. However there weren't any wash cloths available. The floors in the room were very dirty, looking like they hadn't been mopped in weeks. The bathroom ceiling was covered in black mold. And the bathroom walls had dark smearmarks from someone's dirty hands. Our stay was beyond sub par, the owner's/managers should be embarrassed to present a room in that condition to their customers. And the sidewalks outside the rooms hadn't been cleaned in a long time. It was almost more disgusting than the room was. It was the most disappointing stays I have had at Quality Inn.
I would like to say that the free breakfast was another huge disappointment. The coffee machine was broken, no coffee. The waffle machine was so messy we didn't even use it. There was no attendant to restock items or clean up. The name Quality Inn should be removed from this hotel. I really regret staying there.

Front desk was as non-communicative as could be. I think he may have grunted at me. Property is run down and they clearly have zero desire to make it nice. A horrid stain on the carpet looked like there had been zero attempt at cleaning it. The chair in the room looked like they found it on the side of the road. The cloth arms were stained with old sweat and who knows what. I didn’t even want to set my bag on it. The nightstand has integrated plugs and there was some sort of plug thing under it m on the floor but neither was plugged in. We had to move a mattress out of the way to plug the floor one in. No cover on the vent fan in the bathroom and that looked like it had never been cleaned. I put the shower floor towel down and noticed a lovely stain already on it. Inspect the linens and towels before you use them. The road noice from the freeway was quite high so light sleepers should avoid this place. The hotel was inexpensive but not inexpensive enough to overlook the horror of this place. Spend another little bit and find something else.

When I finally checked in the clerk at the counter was SLOW and eventually gave me my room key. When I checked out the next morning, again, REALLY SLOW. I got a no smoking room but it smelled somewhat smoking and the room seemed barren with the towels in the bathroom and I didn't see the wash cloth, until after my shower since it was on the outside sink. I've stayed at Motel 6 as a last resort and Motel 6 rooms appeared better and cleaner than what Quality Inn Salinas represented.

He was grumpy and should not be in customer service if he hates people. The carpet had stains everywhere, the fridge was disgusting, the bolt inside door was broken. Also there is way more rooms than parking so you will have a hard time finding a place to park if you get to your room late. I did not feel safe here and will never be back.

Not to mention the tv and phone didn’t work. The bathroom was molded in visible places like how could you miss that. The towels were stained but smelled clean.

I wish I knew their breakfast started at 7am. Because I was in town for work, and had to be there at 6:30am. I stayed at 2 other motels, of similar value, in the same area, and they both started at 6am for their breakfast. Other than that, and being overcharged almost $35 for my stay, it was adequate. They charged a different price per night than quoted on this app. I never thought I'd have to pay more for less amenities. I will not be staying here again.

When I asked when the manager would return, she couldn’t provide a clear answer.

On the day of checkout, I was sitting in my car when she approached me to ask if I was checking out. I told her I would be heading in shortly. When I went inside, she came out of a room where the cleaning staff was working and headed to the office, saying, “This is why I was asking if you were checking out.” I found that comment unnecessary and rude.

Ok, but room for improvement

We stayed for 2 nights only. Overall, it was ok, but a few things could be improved.
Bed was comfortable, but it had a plastic mattress protection that was a little noisy and annoying.
Towels smelled clean and fresh, but looked off white/grey from use. Definitely could be replaced.
Breakfast was very limited and scarce: one type of cereal, white bread only, pre packed pastries, mini waffles. No muffins, no bagels, no eggs, no sausage.
Parking was limited. One day we arrived 11pm and there was no parking spaces. There is no street parking either. We ended up leaving the car at the Motel 8 across the street and were worried it could be towed overnight.
Overall, our stay was fine, but those little things could be improved.
