Our stay at the Laurel Inn Motel in Salinas was a disaster from check in until check out! On check in the trainee receptionist overcharged my credit card and then couldn't rectify the problem. On entering our bedroom we were greeted by a roach running across the bathroom sink. We put some perishable food into the refrigerator, and then found out later that it didn't work and our food was ruined due to the heat.
There was a big group of young kids, teenagers and adults staying at the motel which was completely sold out. They were in the rooms directly above our room. They were shouting and playing loud music most of the night finally stopping at 4.30am resulting in us getting very little sleep. In the morning we decided to use the in room coffee machine only to find out there was an old used coffee pouch still in the machine from a previous occupant. One of the bedside nightstand drawers was full of old food remnants. Obviously the room had not been properly cleaned. When I complained to the front desk supervisor, instead of apologizing she told me I should have complained to the 24 hour staff during the night! This horrendous experience cost $185, plus the inconvenience of having to wait several days for my bank to reimburse me for the mistaken overcharge by the trainee.
I have travelled all around the world for many years and I can honestly say this was one of the worst motels I have ever stayed in. The product and the customer service was awful.

Our stay was HORRIBLE.

We arrived at 10:30 PM hoping to get some much-needed rest after a long day of travel. Unfortunately, there was excessive noise outside from guests drinking and partying. Nothing was done to ensure that other guests could sleep, and the disturbance continued until after 3:00 AM.

There was only one bath towel in the room even though there were two of us. To make matters worse, there was no soap in the shower.

The mattress was comfortable, but the metal bed frame was extremely noisy. Every small movement caused it to vibrate and make a loud rattling sound, making it difficult to sleep.

As for the breakfast, it was very disappointing and well below expectations.

We would not stay here again and cannot recommend this property. Fortunately, it was only a one-night stop during our road trip.

I’m so sorry but this review won’t be nice. Super dirty on the inside. I got a suite and I wish I would’ve just went to motel 6. Carpet was filthy, screws were falling off the walls. Hair dryer didn’t work, fire place didn’t work either. Hair in the shower as well before we used it.

I would have given it a higher rating if they would have have cleaned the rooms daily. Also, they had no vending machines...soda,snacks etc. I got really thirsty and had to go to the restaurant next door for some bottled water for $5.00. On a positive note, they had a wonderful continental breakfast, which had really good food.

We went a little early less than 30 min before check in. No early check in was available. The lobby smelled like cigarettes, no one was at the hotel, and the neighborhood and parking lot seemed pretty sketchy. We couldn’t even stay. We went to another hotel down the street.

When we got there it looked a little sketchy. We had to get a rollaway bed and that was terrible! Big gap in the middle where it folds. Our bed was supposed to be a king but it was a queen bed in front of a king headboard. The room was very small. The pool, my 10-year old grandson wouldn't even go in. The ladies at the front desk said it was not up and running. It looked dirty. The next morning we checked out the breakfast. Continental, yes, but did not look appealing at all. We got breakfast somewhere else. I wouldn't waste your money on this one. It was not worth it at all.

Positive:
The person at the front desk was nice.
The fireplace was nice and worked properly.
The A/C and fan worked as well.
The grounds were kept nicely.

Negatives:
The bed cover had a huge stain.
The sheet also had a huge stain.
There was no bed skirt and could see the two box springs. Just didn't look nice.
There was no soap provided so we couldn't even wash our hands. We tried to use shampoo but all of the dispensers in the shower were empty as well (shampoo, conditioner, body wash).
Tried to call the front desk but had to find the cord to plug in the phone as it was placed on a desk by itself with no phone jack (It was behind the bed). When we reached the front desk, we were put on hold then, transferred to a meat packing plant. Bizarre.
One of the gates to enter the pool area to get ice was out of order.
The key card to enter the room took about 3-5 tries before it would unlock. Asked for 2 keys and only 1 would work at all.

We were there for 1 night only and had to leave early before trying the breakfast.
It is close to the Rodeo grounds which was a bonus.
The price was a bit steep as it was Rodeo weekend. Event price gouging!

Overall: It's a convenient location to attend the Salinas Rodeo but I think we will skip it next year and find another hotel. Hopefully, one that is not so expensive and no stains on the bed.

I often stay at this Motel. It is clean and comfortable, rates are very good. One reoccurring issue is their door key system. Every time I stay there is an issue with the key(s). The staff is apologetic and recodes a replacement easily enough ... But seriously the last 4 times I have stayed the key stopped working.

We would stay again. The room had been refurbished recently and was clean. Check-in was welcoming and answered all our questions. They did not have a wash cloth in the room and we did not have time to ask. Used the extra hand towel. Shower had good pressure. Breakfast had hard boiled eggs, yogurt, cereal, bagels, OJ, coffee, and frozen waffles. 1 mile from the Salinas Rodeo ground and safe at night to walk.

This motel is located in a sketchy area. Couple guys hanging outside the motel and watching us. Didn’t look safe at all. This motel needs serious maintenance and improvement. We regretted staying here for 3 nights. One night is just about enough. Should have paid little extra more and stayed at better one. Don’t understand why they’d use metal as bed frame bottom. Makes noise every time you move or get off bed. Worst off keep hitting the metal bottom part. No chair in room. Some towels have stains left behind. Beds and pillows are overly used. Breakfast is ok. Better than grab n go muffins. We had to go to IHOP for breakfast one time. At least there are lots of shopping places and eateries nearby and friendly front office staff. We won’t be staying here again for sure.

**Worst hotel experience I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.**
I booked 2 consecutive 1-night reservations through Expedia after arriving a day early for a family event. From the moment I checked in, the customer service was terrible. The front desk was rude and dismissive, when I reported finding dead bugs under the pillows in our 1st room, I asked the condition of the 2nd & was told, \"I don’t know what that means, the system clearly says it's clean!” We were moved to a 2nd room, which had the same overwhelming odor, forcing us to sleep with the window/door open while listening to noise from the bar next door all night.
The following day, we checked into our 2nd reservation and the 3rd room was just as bad—stained carpets and bedding, mold, gnats, and even a live bug crawling on the bed.
When I calmly expressed my concerns at checkout, the manager didn't apologize. Instead, she became defensive, yelled at me, telling me to contact the general manager if I had any complaints. The most disappointing part wasn't just the filthy rooms, it was the complete lack of accountability. T staff acted as these conditions were acceptable & showed no concern for the cleanliness of the property or the experience of paying guests. So much more 2 say due to Expedia's character limit, I'll allow photos 2speak for themselves. They accurately reflect the poor conditions. Never again! Worst customer service I've ever experienced, unsanitary rooms, bugs, terrible management

The property had a good size, the Bed was perfect for me and my wife. It’s great that the property was a no smoking zone.
The breakfast was good and service excellent for the price. We were given a room near the stairs.


What needs improvement is even if I got a good price using a 3 party booking company like Expedia, we should still get a good room, it was me and my wife’s anniversary and chose Laurel In to stay. We got a Room where there was a baseball sized hole on the rug near my side of the
Room by the cabinet and ac. The stairs were shaking as we were going up to our room.
Also, we were not given a paper receipt of our stay, while other hotels do provide this at guest request. I do hope they can do the improvement I have mentioned. Will see if there will be another chance or two for us to try again Laurel In.

Booked this hotel for two nights but when we arrived the hotel was runned down and dirty from the outside . Did not look like any of the pictures on Expedia . We proceeded to check in because I knew it wasn’t refundable at this point . When we went to park by our room we noticed that people were living in this hotel and some had socks and clothes hanging on the stair rails. A couple were in their car smoking weed. Just did not look safe at all. Went back to talk to the lady and explained what we saw and how we felt and wanted a refund. She proceeded to tell me what I needed to do to get my refund . Thanks to Expedia for helping me with that and the staff member for agreeing . Do not recommend at all . Not safe and looks very dirty.

The pool was not operational. It wasn't mentioned on their site. That's the reason we booked this hotel. Plus there were stains on the bed sheets.

The room itself was adequate for a one-night stay, and check-in was straightforward. Other than that, there was nothing particularly unique or memorable about the property.

The biggest issue was that the pool, which was one of the main reasons I booked this hotel, was closed despite being advertised as open daily. When I asked about it, I was told it is generally only open on weekends, which contradicted the information provided when I made the reservation.

The continental breakfast was also disappointing. The selection was extremely limited, consisting mostly of toaster items such as pre made waffles and bread products. There was only one toaster available, and the orange juice tasted spoiled or off.

Additionally, there were several individuals lingering around different areas of the property throughout the evening, which did not contribute to a comfortable atmosphere. Overall, the hotel felt run down and offered very little value compared to other options in the area.

We got in the room right away with the luggage, we need to go with our son and family away. It was a baseball tournament
We noticed the ceiling being water damage? My husband took a picture and we stop and let the staff know. She said we can switch you to a different room ?
I said that’s ok, we need to meet the family for the baseball tournament.
I ask if we can get a discount, she said no, I can’t do that , but I will send a request to the manager.
We haven’t heard anything, that was Saturday afternoon.
We came back from the tournament and smell at mariguana, at the entrance door to our room, the ceiling room was either water damage or paint coming off it was about 4 feet long, the light on the bathroom wasn’t working, someone knocked very strong on the door, for a moment, i felt scared, so I called the help desk and told them and she said, there’s some kids doing that, I will send someone.
I was expecting breakfast, but I was disappointed.

Stayed over for two nights three days and right away the beds sheets/pillows were wrinkly as if they had been tossed around with. The tv’s remote control was dead. The bathrooms shower had hair. The pool was closed. Breakfast didn’t offer much… no eggs? I would not stay here again for the amount I paid. However, staff was excellent! I would rate my stay a 4/10

The out side of the motel needs attention. The lobby area is not as obvious as it could be. The continental breakfast was sub sub par. On the positive side my room had new tv new bed, new air conditioner, new bathtub fairly new carpet and freshly painted. The towel setting was just adequate. The rate was good when compared to the other motels in the area. If they put some effort into restoring the outside and placing a sign on the lobby area and give at least one more bath towel and wash rag it would be 3 and a half star. And improve the breakfast or just do not advertise that you have one.

Was really surprised with how big the room was! 2 separate bedrooms and bathrooms were really nice for my family of 4. The room decor and furniture is old but beds were very comfortable. The sofa bed however did not look like linens had been changed out so we had to request clean ones. Staff was great and very friendly!

I attempted an early check-in and waited for my room instead since they claimed to be full. But when I finally got my room, the floor was noticeably damaged, paint poor and peeling, and none of the outlets worked. I called to have the room changed and remarkably was given a room of remarkable difference.

I had an interesting experience here. It wasn’t bad but I wouldn’t consider it to be a pleasant stay either. Upon arriving at 7pm to check in I was told that my room wasn’t ready and that I had to wait another 15 minutes. Keep in mind this was on a Sunday night and I had booked two nights in advance. When I stepped into my room I noticed inside of the bathroom that the handle was missing from the sliding glass door of the shower. Also the toilet did not flush very well. The heater/ac unit wasn’t working properly so we had a difficult time keeping the room warm. The price of this experience is my main issue. For what I paid I would expect my room to be fully operational and in tact upon my arrival and it would be nice to have a smooth check in when booking in advance and checking in at a later time of the day.

Terrible. Staff was not welcoming. Check-in was 3 PM. I arrived at 4 PM. I was told my room was not ready and still being cleaned. I was told to come back when they gave me a call when the room is ready. We have been traveling and we’re tired and needed to use the restroom. We went to a nearby store to waste time by 5 PM. I never received a call that my room was ready, so I returned back to the lobby. She said they still weren’t finished, but they were just gonna add towels. She proceeded to give me my key but told me I could wait outside my room. I complained about having to wait because we were tired. The front desk girl never apologized. She seemed annoyed by me. Upon arriving show our room which was in the back of the hotel, I noticed the parking lot was unkept, and messy with trash on the floor. Our room was OK, but it appears to be cleaned fast so you can see the floors were not mopped correctly. The bathroom seemed outdated. Like it can use some upgrades. The chair in the sitting area was covered in stains. I give this place a D-because had the staff been just a little bit apologetic I could’ve overlooked everything else. The hotel, neighborhood seemed too ghetto. The food in that town was not great. I’ll never stay in Salinas, or at the Laurel hotel again.

Our experience at this hotel was very disappointing. The room smelled strongly of humidity and mildew from the moment we walked in, and it felt dirty and uncomfortable. We also found small cockroaches in the bathroom, which was completely unacceptable. On top of that, the electrical outlets didn’t work, making it difficult to charge our devices. To make things worse, the continental breakfast was very bad, with poor quality food and very little variety. I would definitely not stay here again or recommend this hotel to anyone.

The breakfast was good and included, I apppreciate that. My room was clean and the bathroom was renovated. My water was very cold in the night and morning. When I told staff about the water they were upset with me. I didn't want anything my stay was quick. So, I didn't understand why they had attitude when I was just informing them I didn't have any warm water. They said that they knew about the issue and that the water heater doesn't reach to the farther rooms. So, I'm thinking if they're aware of this issue why are they booking people back there? The place was empty. Why did they place me in a room they know there's an unresolved issue and then get upset with me for informing them about this issue. My guess is that many people complain about having to shower in very cold water and they are impatient with everyone complaining about it.

The room was dirty, with hair from previous tenants visible in almost every area of the room. The walls were extremely thin and the door connecting ours to the adjoining room did not have a functioning lock, so the Motel simply put a piece of furniture in front of it. Vomit was present on the sidewalk outside of our room and the breakfast was a disappointment. I have nothing positive to share about this property. Would not stay here again.
