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.

Staying here was okay, of course if you're looking for a 5 star clean hotel this not the place. One of the restrooms had black mold. The toilet seat was dirty in the last room i stayed and dirt on the floor i had to sweep myself. And i honestly was hesitant on showering cause the shower head is disgusting and i didnt bring my cleaning supplies to clean and disinfect the shower head. The staff there is pretty understanding though.
