Hampton Inn & Suites Salinas

Love this Hampton Inn. Staff are super friendly and accomodating. The room was cozy and quiet. The beds are super comfy. Not too hard or soft. The TV was huge, has real cable with a great selection of channels and the remotes worked very well. The AC in the room ran great and I really appreciated it didn't make some weird noise like a lot of other hotel AC's. The hotel breakfast was ok, it was better when we stayed a few years ago. We were there three nights but only ended up eating it twice. The first morning the only meat option was a vegan sausage which was not good. Second morning they had sausage links. This hampton inn does a little egg omelette thing that is ok. They used to do bacon and scrambled eggs which is the best in our opinion, so we missed that. Still, the waffles are bomb. People complain about a homeless encampment...when we stayed there was a small encampment behind the hotel but upon closer inspection the encampment is actually separated from the hotel by a large ditch/water runoff thing. They are really a good distance from the hotel. We did notice a few tweakers here and there walking through the far end of the parking lot but never experienced and real trouble. Overall a great stay and will be staying here again!

Everything was amazing but I do feel very strongly that BOOKING.com needs to let guests know before they pay that there is a charge for incidentals. As this trip for me was very costly coming from down south I had a very tight budget but needed to stay somewhere that was close to the freeway and not in a horrible location like most other hotels in Salinas are. Luckily I had extra money for the incidental cost. I just think it’s important to set expectations! What would’ve happened if I had not had that extra money? I would’ve lost all my money I paid for the room because the money was non refundable. So please do better in sharing that type of information.

The breakfast/hangout room was the best of anywhere we've ever stayed. We even had family game nights because there was so much space available with tables and comfortable seating!

The staff person Adan who checked us in was super friendly. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. I loved how spacious our room was and the layout. I really like how they have coffee, tea, water and hot chocolate available in the lobby at all hours. Breakfast was delicious and had a variety of foods/drinks to choose from. We really enjoy staying here every time we come. Can't wait to stay here again.

The property was nice. The room was clean and the location was quiet or at least my room was.
