I've come to this same motel in Salinas at least 5 times and it's overall pretty quiet. I always request a downstairs room and they have no problem accommodating me with that. It's a motel 6 so it's not lavishing but it's average and everyone is always nice. Check in and check out is fine and overall it's great for the price.
