Besides previous reviews there were two reason I chose this motel. Disappointed on both counts. First off the internet service is SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. Might just as well not have it. Could not send out email because of time-out issues. Every webpage took several minutes to load. Secondly, put on trunks and went to hot tub; stepped in and guess... More

Much better then I expect from a two star motel. Friendly staff, clean nicely decorated rooms, decent breakfast. Good value at $81. found it thanks to earlier trip advisor reviews. Conveniently located about 5-10 minutes from Old Town.

Nice, clean, budget hotel that provides great value. The front desk staff, Shawna in particular, was great in dealing with a non standard check in due to a Expedia computer goof. She also took the time to give me a local's suggested path to the Laguna Seca racetrack. The breakfast room in the morning is super clean and well run.... More

I had to make a last-minute trip to Salinas for personal business, and booked a Wednesday night stay at this inn. No regrets. Friendly desk staff, large clean room and continental breakfast in the morning. It was well worth the inexpensive price for the room. If I had to come back to Salinas again, I would not hesitate to book... More

Good hotel for the price. Our room was clean and quiet and nice. This is a good location right off the 101. It is a large hotel with various amenities including pool, breakfast and wifi. The wifi was on and off but overall very satisfied. Room was very big.

My wife and I spent a couple of night in Salinas, and the Laurel Inn was a great place to stay. Clean, spacious room (although a little dated), convenient. It's also close to the coast. The only issue was the crowded breakfast room on Sunday, but still very difficult to beat...
