Salinas National Steinbeck Center Hotels

"Comfortable stay! walkable distance to all major attractions and restaurants. right next to the boardwalk and a beautiful coastal trail. we didn't use our car in Monterey. the staff is polite and extremely helpful. the room was quite spacious and clean with all the basics like coffee machine, fridge, storage. the rooms even had a small balcony. the only drawback was the small pool and jacuzzi which was crowded by kids. they have a huge dining area and two restaurants on property though we didn't try. would recommend. "

"The room was way too small for 2 queen beds & for four people. No walking space literally! We were all bumping into each other. It was clean. Hair all over the floor. Good thing we just used it to sleep. "

"Clean and easy check-in "

"Excellent "

"AC is too loud or broken, TV didn’t turn on, maintenance fixed it but no sound. Properly informed while we are checking in, about the water shutdown in the morning and suggested me to cancel or move to somewhere else, one of the worst customer service and property maintenance. Rooms are not that clean either, i would strongly recommend to stay away from this property for their zero care for customers"

"Great area"

"We had a great stay celebrating my birthday and enjoyed the Vista Blue Spa! Our room was very clean and we liked our partial ocean view. The location is ideal as it’s along the waterfront but a quick walk to shop or dine on Cannery Row. We’ll definitely be back again, "

"Nice clean good for family "

"Upon arrival I was informed that the room was not yet ready. It was past their posted check in time. The staff said to give them 30-40 minutes. Ok fine I left came back an hour later and the staff said again that they don’t think the room is ready. He tried calling the maids and they didn’t answer. He tells me to come back in an hour. By this point I am over it. I just travelled 4 hrs with 2 young kids one with severe special needs so I ask him if there is a place I can change my child so we can just wait in my car and I don’t have to drive them somewhere else to wait. I get the kids changed and as I’m coming out of the bathroom he says oh by the way the room is ready. I was so beyond irritated at this point I was just happy to finally be in the room. The room was actually a great set up for a family. The only downside was no bath tub. It’s in a great location close to stores, food and beach dunes. My only advice is arrive a couple hours after check in time."
