This was a holiday weekend and we were not expecting to find a nice place at a decent price. We were pleasantly surprised. The property was clean and the staff was friendly.

No closet for our room, the bathroom had no window, the view was below mid, and I saw a homeless sleeping in the alley.

How close it was to Monterey, the price wasn't too bad, and the food nearby was okay. Parking was included w/ our stay.

For nearly $200/night, you can expect a lot more than you get here. We spend many nights a year in hotels / motels and the pricetag on this room is just way too high: No table, which by the way wouldn’t have fit into the tiny room, no tissues and no coffeemaker.

It was exceptionally clean and the bed was comfortable. Plus, it was right on our route. Friendly staff / owners. Good location.

First of all, there was no breakfast. Second room was too small No soundproof all walls. You can hear Everything from your next door neighbor and above you No closet no iron Not enough furniture, only one poor chair.

My rating on value isn't really fair because of events going on at the nearby Leguna Sec racetrack, which seem to have filled all of the area's hotels and, it seemed, to have elevated their prices as well. Supply and demand sets price! I may have found the Western's price somewhat high, but not at all compared to prices set for rooms at better known hotels, which were 2-4 times more expensive.

The Western Motel is a modest, independently owned hotel. Its staff is great and the rooms were very clean and fine, if basic. It is located in a section of Salinas where one is likely to hear Spanish before English, which I found enormously appealing. I had a great time this morning walking about, stopping in at a local smoothie place and then a restaurant for breakfast.

The location can be noisy and the cleaning could be a bit better - although NOT really bad!! Seemed a bit pricy - but then again all other options were more expensive.....

Good bed and nice with a bathtub. Very kind owner.

The parking lot is quite small

Very secure with 2 locked doors. Location was pretty decent too

I was very upset because when I went to take a shower, there was no shower curtain. The worse part was the fact that there was no soap or anything to wash my Hands with. No shower curtain no soap. I had to run to store to buy soap. When I was checking out I talked to the people that own and work the office, didn’t even care when I mention that there was no shower curtain and soap. For the money they charge, I felt ripped off.

The thing that i liked was the area because the motel was closer to where I had to go. I liked the fact that area is quiet.

It is small but was perfect for our needs. Clean, everything worked, and it was quiet. The only thing I wished for was the toilet to be less loud when flushing, the plumbing must be amazing as it flushes fast and powerful! We chose this motel last minute driving at night trying to find someplace affordable while still close to Monterey attractions. Had seen positive reviews about management, definitely seems to be the case. Recommended!

The bathroom light and fan came on automatically. I guess that's a plus for some guests, but I would have preferred to turn the light on myself, without any fan.

It was quiet and clean. The manager is a kind, considerate person, as well.
