Laurel Inn Motel - Salinas 36.698, -121.6624

Easy access from 101. Decent complimentary breakfast. Very clean room. Good value for the money. No shops around. A Black Bear Dinner franchise restaurant is onsite.

Great location just off the freeway. We had a very quiet non-smoking room on the backside. The room was very clean and well kept. TV signal was grainy but we weren't there to watch TV. Convenient to Monterey, Prunedale and the rodeo grounds. Dining options are unlimited. You name it and it's close by. This will be my first choice next time I'm in the area.

The quality and room rates of this hotel is a good notch above the bargain hotels in the area. Our double-queen-bed had a small refrigerator and coffeemaker, but no microwave oven. There's a pool, but no spa. I would stay there again.

It's what I would expect from a higher rated Motel. I'll remember this place next time I'm in the area.

The hotel was exactly what I thought it would be, quiet and clean but not fancy. It's not a spa, but neither is Salinas. For the business traveler it was very convenient, the staff was helpful, and there is a restaurant right next to the hotel that was excellent for breakfast.

This motel is conveniently located and it provided us with a comfortable and clean room The restaurant onsite is great and has the yummiest bread pudding ever!! I would definitely stay here again!

Everything about this motel was excellent. Great staff, clean room, location etc. Loved the breakfast which was well organized and one of the staff members kept all items at its full capacity as it was consumed. Highly recommend it!

This is the third time I have stayed at this hotel and I have always found it to be clean and neat. It is not over-priced which makes it more affordable for a comfortable stay while traveling.

OK if you are tired and just sleep there. Bed Hard. A bit Shabby. Lots of hot water.

Good value. Location to highway was convenient, and road noise not too bad. Noise between rooms was evident. On-site Restaurant was convenient (good food, hit/miss service). It was clean and reasonable.

We are from the area and always stay at this hotel when we come back to visit. The beds are a little hard.

It was fine over-all, some rooms dont have newer tv's, but the beds were comfortable

The room was good it need a safty chain on the door! but other then that it was a pretty nice place to stay for the money!

Hotel was very well priced and near shopping and dining choices. Being so close to Monterey, it was appreciated the much lower cost and the hotel was very well maintained. Definatly a good find!!!

this place is very cool..Great restarant on sight.Great pool and spa..I will defentanlly stay here again

It is a motel, as the display board suggests. Clean, very close to a main freeway (California 101), convenience stores and restaurants. The reception is efficient. We took two rooms for a 4-person party. One room had a curious arrangement; the coffee maker was in the bathroom, which allows for three things to be done ad once: shave, have coffee and take care of other incidental business. All in all - money well spent and not a lot of it to boot. j.s.

there was trash left from prior guests. we found hair and bugs in the bathroom. The heater was a window style heater/AC unit that did not work at all that well. The room we stayed in was the closest to the road and so it was really load all night. The traffic felt like it was going through our room. good thing we were only staying one night, but.......I guess you get what you pay for.

The Laurel Inn Motel is located in Salinas about 25 miles from Monterey which was a little inconvenient but not terrible. The hotel was extremely clean and well kept. It's obvious that there has been recent renovations which made the motel even more of a pleasant suprise. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. The restaraunt in the parking lot is one of the best in the area. Make sure you are hungry as the portions are huge. I would recommend to anyone!

WAS NOT PLEASED WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT FURNISH DO NOT DISTURB SIGN'S. WE ENJOYED OUR STAY!

I have no major complaints about this hotel. We had a room that was close to the freeway and during the busy times, the noise was a bit much. Getting a room closer to the office might be better, but not sure. Two of the electrical outlets in the room didn't work. I thought it was my equipment that didn't work, so that was somewhat frustrating. It was very clean, comfortable and the staff was very helpful. I would defintely stay here again.

I came down for my grandfather's memorial. Most of my family stayed at a nearby hotel. They paid more than twice our rate. At the Laurel Inn, we had everything we needed for a cofortable 4 night stay. It was very clean (which is most important). The beds were a little hard for my taste but comfortable enough for a good nights sleep. There was a little bit of a musty smell in the room that we noticed upon entering, but all in all-- we will be staying here again next time we come to visit grandma!

IT WAS NEAT AND VERY QUIET PLACE TO STAY. THE ROOM WAS CLEAN AND VERY COMFORTABLE.

Room very noisy because of proxmity to freeway. Otherwise a good choice for the Salinas area.

Great location, rooms freshly redone, very clean and comfortable. A nice change to an inexpensive place.

good value, comfortable, only negative is thin walls, but running fan took care of it

I was very surprised at what I got for the price: a large room with a mini-fridge, and friendly people at the check-in counter. I had a room with one king bed that was comfortable. I really liked how the bathroom area was a little set off from the rest of the room. Everything looked clean and well cared for As others have noted, the heater was a bit loud, but it didn't keep me awake. There was a window for light during the day, but at night the lights in the room weren't quite bright enough for my taste. I didn't try the pool or hot tub. I really wished they served some sort of breakfast and that they'd had some sort of exercise room. Finally, the hotel is situated just off 101 near all the big box/chain stores and restaurants, so it doesn't have any character, but if you do an internet search for local restaurants, you'll find some in the area. Overall, a great place to stay if you're looking for something simple, clean, and cheap.

Unless you plan to spend time in the room -it's a perfectly nice place to sleep. The room was clean and odor free. The bed was . . . a bed. I slept just fine. I was there for one night. I spent (not counting sleeping) maybe an hour in the room. If you're looking for a place to spend the day (why?) it had a pool. But if you're in this area why would you stay at the hotel? Exactly! You're out enjoying the Central Coast. I would stay here again in a heartbeat - and the price was right, extremely reasonable in comparison to other venues in the area. All in all I recomend it to anyone looking for a place to sleep.

The hotel was in the perfect location for my needs. The room was very clean, the bathroom was spacious and well lit. And it was definitely worth the price.

Very nice hotel....

Easy access, and convenient location to everything, without being in a noisy place. As much as Salinas has a bad reputation, the neighborhood is fine. Very efficient lobby service, and what a speedy PC they have ther for public use! Clean spacious rooms, simple decor, no funny smells!!! and they also have a pretty swimmingpool and sauna. Planning for breakfast too, in the upcoming future, renovations are on in March 09. Attached diner closed a bit too early (10pm), but that's not the hotel's doing. And you can't beat the Hotels.com rates!

My Mother and Aunt suggested we make our reservations at the Laurel Inn. I didn't realize until we were almost there that it was a "Motel". I've alway associated a motel with single story, dark, outside entrances and kind of spooky. They assured me it was very nice. I was very impressed!. The Laurel Inn Motel is very well kept, well lighted and very clean. You are able to park right outside your room and the office is well lit and inviting. There is a pool and a "Black Bear Restaurant" right across the parking lot. (The Food is Great!!) They were very friendly and accommodating. We needed extra towels and were given them immediately. I will certainly stay there again when we visit. The price was Great! The only suggestion I would offer is, the shower curtains seem to be made of a fabric of some kind that did not appear to be waterproof. I put the inside curtain in the tub, but the water from the showerhead soaked thru both the inside and outside curtains and quite a bit of water dripped on the floor. Didn't understand that concept. Maybe I did something wrong? Anyway, Great Motel, Great stay!!

Great location. Nice staff. However, the bathroom floor was covered in dead ants. There was NO reason that the housekeeping should have missed it. Dead black ants on a white floor???? Then of course I worried about what chemical killed the ants too.... I was in a rush and there was no way that I would have had time to change rooms and also make my appointment.

We stayed in Salinas overnight and wanted something comfortable, clean and reasonable. We were very happy with the Laurel Inn. The facility was very nice, the rooms were large, the beds were comfortable and the staff very friendly. Plus the restaurant right next door was a real treat.
