I paid for breakfast during the reservation. There was nothing in the morning. Tried to check out 7 am, but there was no one on the counter. I rang a bell on the counter several times, but no answers. Finally, we called and someone came out from the backroom without proper shirts on. Very noisy.

A very disgusting room. I don't know what was on the countertop. There was something disgusting stuck under the wash basin. The bathtub suddenly leaked water with black residue. I checked in at 10 pm and there were noises outside. There were also loud boots walking upstairs. It was quiet until 5 am. I don't recommend staying in this hotel.

The property is out dated. The area is not very safe. Office closes at 9pm so you cannot request assistance. Room was dirty, floor was not clean, restroom was dirty and there was no soap. Not worth the price. Property states breakfast is provided but that is false advertisement, they had nasty coffee and a few granola bars. Do not stay here!!!

If you’re in a pinch Sunny D and Costco granola bars are not breakfast. Rooms could use a thorough deep cleaning. Mattresses probably cost 80 bucks new 10 years ago. Pillows are small square and stuffed full of ground up memory foam that sounds comfortable in theory but my neck is still sore even 24hrs after checkout. Husband and wife team who run it. The wife was nice. The husband gave the impression that I was bothering him when I asked him for extra towels. Conveniently located two blocks away from Starbucks.

Bathroom sink backed up On prior stays at Howard Johnson’s I had no problems, but this time the bathroom sink was backed up, and it took 15 minutes of running the water to get hot water! What a waste. There was mold on our sheets as well.

I'm not sure where to start. We were greeted by a sullen teenager at the front desk who seemed put out by having to check us in. The room, while spacious, was extremely shabby. Torn curtains, dirty air vents, filthy control panel on the heating/air unit (I took pictures if anyone doubts this). Noisy guests above us (which, I realize cannot be controlled by the hotel). Very old appliances that made noises all night. Terrible drainage in the sink. The sink needs to be "snaked" ASAP. I will say the vanity lighting was very good. I didn't realize (my bad) that the hotel was on a highway and there'd be lots of traffic all night. I requested additional pillows and was told there were none to be had (by an even younger front desk person who was probably 15?) This was NOT a pleasant experience. I will not recommend staying here and I will NOT be staying at a Wyndham Hotel in the future.

For the price point in Downtown Salinas, the accommodations were nice and average. Thank You.
