Econo Lodge Salinas Motel - Page 1

Lowest price found available in area. Was having car troubles and was very accomidating to our needs. We arrived very late and had to stay past checkout to work on our vehicle. They let us continue to use the room until we were repaired and ready to go (hours later). New management/ownership within the last few months so he is working on fixing the place up. But for $54 after taxes this was a nice hotel to stay at, with a great attitude towards their customers. Location was nice not too far from where we needed to go, and there continental breakfast was well stocked. Highly recomend staying here.

I enjoyed the fact that we finally found a room within the Monterey County Fair Grounds on the Summer of Love's ending night July 29th. I hadn't been

with my husband for 12 years in Santa Cruz and Monterey County and I had

hoped I would save a few bucks and rent a room about 12 miles or so from the fair ground to get back over towards where I use to go to church in

Salinas. Anyway, I passed up a deal for $79.00 a night 6 hours earlier to try and find a $54.00 plus tax room. I traveled over there at about 8 to 9 pm.

The bed was decent not too shabby and the room was quite clean but the problem was that at 10 pm the water stopped working and there was no water for the remaining part of the night. Luck would have it that my hair is frizzy and I needed to shower to fly from Monterey to Ontario and then onto Tulsa Oklahoma and then on to Arkansas the next morning, and I was unable to do that. When we checked out at 5 am. there was no one in the room up front to even give the key too. My husband and I fought all the way to the airport due the fact that I did not get the more expensive hotel in Seaside. Now I know just pay and get what you paid for.

It was well located and a great value for the price. It was exactly what I expected.

The only contact with anyone there was the front desk and they seemed preoccupied and uncaring.
