Top Salinas Valley Model Railroad Museum Hotel Reviews

Laurel Inn Motel

2/10 Terrible

"Terrible. Staff was not welcoming. Check-in was 3 PM. I arrived at 4 PM. I was told my room was not ready and still being cleaned. I was told to come back when they gave me a call when the room is ready. We have been traveling and we’re tired and needed to use the restroom. We went to a nearby store to waste time by 5 PM. I never received a call that my room was ready, so I returned back to the lobby. She said they still weren’t finished, but they were just gonna add towels. She proceeded to give me my key but told me I could wait outside my room. I complained about having to wait because we were tired. The front desk girl never apologized. She seemed annoyed by me. Upon arriving show our room which was in the back of the hotel, I noticed the parking lot was unkept, and messy with trash on the floor. Our room was OK, but it appears to be cleaned fast so you can see the floors were not mopped correctly. The bathroom seemed outdated. Like it can use some upgrades. The chair in the sitting area was covered in stains. I give this place a D-because had the staff been just a little bit apologetic I could’ve overlooked everything else. The hotel, neighborhood seemed too ghetto. The food in that town was not great. I’ll never stay in Salinas, or at the Laurel hotel again."

El Castell Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This location gives very good value for the price. The room was clean and attractive. It had obviously been modernized. The host was very gracious. I only stayed one night, but my experience was very good. There is also a nice-looking covered pool that was being used when I was there. A nice amenity. I appreciated having the fridge, microwave, and coffee maker in the room. Also, a courtyard motel, there were lovely roses by almost every door entering into a room. I loved that! And just two stairs to get to the door, which is always appreciated. I would stay there again."

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with well maintained property in a nice and safe location. The room was a good size, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The balcony, although alley view was very picturesque. Staff were professional and kind! The only negative for us was the added cost for nightly parking!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside

6/10 Okay

"We’ve stayed at three different Embassy Suites properties recently, and they couldn’t be more different from one another. The Embassy Suites in Anaheim was by far the worst experience. The property felt poorly maintained, our room had ants, and it was filthy. I would not recommend staying there. Our stay at Embassy Suites Santa Clara Silicon Valley was the complete opposite. It was modern, upscale, and felt like a brand-new hotel. Everything was excellent, which is what led us to book Embassy Suites Monterey Bay. I would rank the Monterey property somewhere in the middle. It’s definitely better than Anaheim, but it doesn’t come close to the quality and condition of the Santa Clara location. One of my biggest disappointments was the Pure Wellness room. We paid extra for this upgraded room category, but it was not well maintained. The room itself was dirty, and the air purifier was covered in dust and appeared to have gone months without servicing. If you’re considering a Pure Wellness room, I would strongly recommend checking the filter and equipment yourself upon arrival. That said, the front desk manager was exceptionally kind and responsive. She compensated us with dinner, which helped improve our overall experience and was greatly appreciated. The restaurant was a highlight of the stay. The food was excellent, and I would honestly return just to eat there. The pool area was also nice and well stocked with towels. Unfortunately, cleanliness remained an issue througho"

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Housekeeping didn't do a good job of cleaning our room. She never changed our sheets, we had spilled something the previous night and the stains were still on the sheets the following day after Housekeeping finished. Also there was no shower gel in the dispenser, it was empty, after calling the front desk, they bring a bar of soap instead. Agreed to give a discout but ipon check out the manager wasn't there."
