Surprised by how modern the chain is (according to my friend Courtyard had spent money on a facelift) and it looks good! The reception area is small...more like an express check in and out. It's an open area so combines the lobby / cafe / wif-fi (3 terminals) and TV area. The wi-fi service was excellent and free. There was... More

The location is right off of Hwy 101 in Salinas, but there's no traffic noise. It's a 20 minute drive to Monterey. Restaurants and shopping close by. The room walls are pretty thin so you'll hear your neighbors if they are noisy. The bed was comfortable and the room was well laid out. Staff is friendly and attentive. There's an... More

Had just stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn and there was no comparison for quality. Inn has not been redone anytime recently. Shower curtain rod was bent and curtain needs replacing. trash left on closet floor from a previous guest. A toilet paper roll with a small amount of paper was left on roll for our visit. Just not up... More

The Courtyard in Salinas was comfortable,clean and reasonably priced. The hotel location was close to restaurants and other amenities. Parking lot was small, ;and parking area behind hotel was not well lit, my only complaint. More

There is a great deal of construction noise at the hotel. The price of this hotel far exceeded the quality. Front desk staff pleasant but ill-informed. Floor of bathtub was very slippery and no rubber bathtub mat was provided. Bathtub was not clean; there was so much accumulated hair etc. in the tub drain that you stood in 4 inches... More

I stayed here for one quick night on business. Arrived late and the staff quickly checked me in and had me on my way. The room had nice decor, plenty of space (desk/chair, 2 queens, flat screen tv - though I did not use it - and a decent size bathroom. The rooms do have thinner walls as posted by... More

Stayed here for a few nights while on business in Salinas. The hotel is the older Courtyard style hotel without the bistro/bar in the lobby. They have construction taking place in the lobby to update it, so that's a work in progress. The rooms aren't bad, they are in good shape and are consistent with other Courtyard hotels I've stayed...

Though I was through here one night on business, I'd consider this a good base if I was visiting the Monterey Peninsula. It's a short and scenic 20 minute drive and the price here is at least half comparable lodging. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Lots of chain dining nearby if that's your thing, otherwise save your hunger for... More

Love the hotel, the lobby, the people, the cleanliness, etc. unfortunately, the couple next door came in after midnight and we could hear almost every word they said. Were they yelling or were the walls thin - not sure - but likely would try a different hotel in the future. Would I go back? Sure, if I got the same... More
