This Holiday Inn Express is average. The room was clean and in good repair. I didn't like that it was a motel and didn't have interior cooridors..but it was okay. The location is just okay...it felt safe enough but there was really nothing of interest within short walking distance as it's kind of an industrial area. I thought for Salinas... more

The rooms were small and smelled like tobacco. Not at all worthy of a Holiday inn express title. The room at least seemed clean on the surface. The coffee for breakfast was gone by 8:30 am I went looking for my cell phone and looked under the bed and saw used CONDOMS from the last customer to the hotel room... more

When we travel we (almost) always choose holiday inn website for its reliability in hotel descriptions. But this time we were wrong. First of all, among the hotel amenities and services included, it was said that all the rooms were equipped with a fridge and laundry for the guests. None of them were available: the laundry was "a few blocks... more

We stayed here with three friends and had three rooms booked. We were in town for a A1 grand prix race at Laguna Seca. The Hotel itself is supprisingly good. The rooms have had some kind of upgrade according to the Hotel Manager. But I think that he was mistaken or they bought the furniture and stuff from a yard... more

I was in town for a funeral and truthfully, haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn of any kind in years. I have to say that I was VERY impressed with this hotel. I was completely unfamiliar with the area and the level of service I received from the staff was wonderful. They helped me with everything from directions to finding... more

I stayed here one night before the races at Laguna Seca. The room was a little small but clean and in very good shape. The shower was fantastic. A very good continental breakfast. The main drawback was the noise from the parking lot and the road. I also thought it was a little overpriced for October and being inland. more

We spent some time here over the Labor day weekend avoiding the high cost of accomodation in the Monterey / Carmel area. Overall we were very pleased with our accomodation, comprising a large well decorated clean room with good facilities, including a microwave oven. Friendly and helpful staff. Buffet breakfast first class. Definately would use again ...highly recommended. more

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Salinas over the Labor Day Weekend. The hotel was written about somewhat favorably by a travel reporter, so I thought that I'd give it a try. I have to say that it was not what I was led to believe. First of all, the hotel pictured on Holiday Inn's website was totally... more
