Laurel Inn Motel

Now an even better bargain

Positiv: We've stayed at the Laurel in once or twice a year for a few years and thought it was a really good bargain. Will you just stay there again and it seems like even more of a bargain now as the rooms seem clear, there's no flatscreen TVs set of the old ones, and the food in the breakfast bar is much much better with the addition of sausage and eggs and a very nice woman who makes everyone feel welcome at breakfast

Negativ: It was all good but was also nice to have rules that were far away from the freeway; some rooms are kind of close but actually they were soundproof Jennifer not to be too big of an issue. The heater was quite noisy but certainly heated up the room and then we just turn it off for the night. Really everything was pretty comfortable and it was possible to forget that this was a bargain motel because it felt just like a really great motel

Simple but Satisfying

Positiv: Laurel Inn in Salinas is conveniently located just off Hwy 101, about 2 miles from downtown. Rooms are basic but clean, with decent TV, small work table, small fridge. Continental breakfast is fine, although some protein options would be nice. However, there is a Black Bear diner just across the parking lot, plus other restaurants and basic shopping options across the freeway (west) or over on Main Street (about a mile east). There is a small pool, although Salinas tends to be cool. Depending on room location, there can be traffic noise, but not too bad. Staff are friendly, and the price is right.

Negativ: Wish the breakfast options were a little better, but there are pastries, fruits, cereal, yoghurt and typical drinks. More substantial options at the local diner or other restaurants. Can be noisy if on the street side. Nothing fancy, but a reasonable place to stay.

Best hotel in Salinas!

Positiv: It was so clean!! New mattress. Clean, soft sheets. Plenty of pillows. Bathroom area was large enough for woman with lots if make up and hair stuff. Hot water forever. Nice new tv. Great free breakfast with really good French toast. Just families and couples so there was no drama at all. Very very safe. For around $100. A night for a Kung bed I was very impressed and I tried most of the hotels around salinas- the safe ones at least- and this was by far the best!!

Negativ: The manager was rude and snotty. All the other staff was very nice but she had a attitude that ruined a perfect environment. Too bad.

Better than expected

Positiv: This place was great. Close to freeway and lots of close restaurants and stores. Very clean. Staff was nice. Good selection for the free breakfast. Pool/hot tub were very relaxing. I would def stay again.

Negativ: No complaints

Positiv: Clean and comfortable. Wonderful breakfast and well-stocked. Enjoyed our stay!
