Use to stay here whenever I’d come to Salinas so I figure I’d stay again since it’s close to family. Rooms were pretty average for it being an inn, appliances were old, either broken or hardly worked and restroom was okay. Remote for tv did not work and the phone did not have any info to call for towels nor the front desk. I had to go to the office for towels. This time, the bed was horrible with stains on sheets. My daughter slept on top of the sheets since she didn’t want to sleep under the sheets or blanket. Fridge under the bathroom counter was old she didn’t work. Nor did the old blow dryer that we were trying to use. And the ice machine was broken and had trash in the area to try to get ice. Over all, stay was poor.

I reserved the hotel for my step-daughter. When she arrived, she called me to head over to the hotel and get my money back because not only was the room dirty but also found a cockroach. Despite the dirtiness, she felt unsafe. Next to her room there were some escorts(if you know what i mean), im guessing waiting for the men. I went to get my money back, to try and get her another room somewhere else, and had no luck. Still waiting for the manager to call me and get my money back.

We love staying at Laurel Inn, however the floors are nasty. I take my own mop for the rooms without carpet, this time we stayed in a suite and it was carpeted, after my granddaughter got out of the bathtub and ran to her mommy her little feet were black.

Disappointed with our stay
It’s a very basic motel. I thought it would be fun to get us a room with a fireplace since we never go out but got into our room to discover the fireplace didn’t work. We called the front desk and they said they’d send maintenance but no one ever came. I’m disappointed I paid more for that feature. Also, there were ants on the bathroom counter, brown mystery splatters all over the back of the bathroom door and an extremely dusty coffee maker that looked like it hadn’t been used for an extended length of time. The bed was comfy though it was hard to sleep with our room facing the busy highway. I don’t think we’d stay again.

First impressions were positive, but after staying for the long weekend, I was a little less impressed. Staff were fantastic, but we stayed in the room with a fireplace and woke up to smelling gas, so I think I am being generous with this review since we could have been unalived. When we reported it, it was immediately taken care of though. The carpet was dirty and there was splashes of stuff on the walls, dirt, a lot of wear and tear. Not one window could completely block out light because of the broken curtains. Constant sirens. One of the toilets was constantly leaking and loud. There was a leak in the breakfast room our last day so we didn’t get breakfast (which was advertised differently, it’s like bagels and yogurt). So overall, affordable accommodations with friendly staff, but a bit run down. 50/50 chance of staying again.
