Top Salinas Hotel Reviews

The Monterey Hotel

The Monterey Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The location and the staff were excellent. The fact there was no parking assigned to the hotel was a surprise as we probably didn't read the hotel notes carefully enough. If one wants to avoid the $39 a night valet fee, there several nearby parking garages one can use. There is no A/C or phone, but great Wifi. The Trolley stop is right outside. The Trolley is free and runs every 15 min. Overall, we are very happy with our stay."
