    Price was quite high.

    It was a wonderful place I was able to use the stove and the facilities which were in the rooms. It was a weekend of air show so it was quite quite expensive. Other than that was a wonderful place and a good location. The people were wonderful.

    Great place to stay in Salinas.

    We changed rooms initially because the mattress on the sofa bed was really thin. It’s just finer for kids but wouldn’t be acceptable for adults.

    The staff was exceptional and helpful - Joanne was so great! The beds were extremely comfortable and Marriott offers one of the best breakfasts you’ll find! The gym is also one of the best I’ve been to. I’m willing to pay a bit extra for these conveniences but we still got a great rate.

    Wish they can offer daily cleaning service,

    The location is great, right off the high way but in a quiet area. The staffs were very nice especially Joanne, she always had a smile on her face and super friendly and professional. We had a 2 bedroom room, it was spacious and clean, love the gas fireplace in the living room.

    A Room in Winter w/NO Heat!
    • Family with young children
    • King Studio
    • Stayed 2 nights
    • Submitted from a mobile device

    Arrived with a confirmed reservation/late arrival to find the only room left had no working heat. It was 11:30 p.m. and I'd been driving for 6 hours. The outside temp was in the 30s and one entire wall was windows. While they gave me a bit of a discount, how do they sell a room like this, especially in winter? And this was a designated handicapped room (fortunately, I'm not handicapped, but what if i were????)! On top of the lack of heat, across the hall was a dog barking most of the night :(!

    Good central location.

    Make a curfew, ask people to leave or go inside after 11 or something.. check the rooms more for broken/maintenance things

    It was scary outside, and lots of random men hanging in parking lot They also had a wedding that they told us that night was going on so we could hear people very loud and partying until 2am. Also the bathtub did not drain. We felt like we were going to be robbed and ended up baracading the door before bed. Very unsafe.
