I'm very sorry I did not read the reviews. The reviews on here (Hotels.com) are pretty bad but OMG....read the ones on other platforms. All 100% true. EXTREMELY RUDE young lady at the front desk. No "hello-welcome." She looked perturbed that she had to get up from the couch to check me in. The neighborhood and outside of the building seemed sketchy. The room was actually okay. Old fashioned-not modern at all - torn curtains.....but decent and seemed clean. But after reading reviews on other platforms I probably didn't look close enough. There was ZERO free breakfast to speak of so I went to Starbucks to get my own breakfast only to come back and find out I'm locked out of the building. After several doorbell rings someone unlocked it. Lots of LOUD construction going on across the hall. I might have been able to overlook a lot of things but after my initial HORRIBLE customer service upon check-in......I will never go back and never recommend this place. We work hard for our money and we are not going to be treated terribly when we spend it at your establishment. A smile and a warm welcome helps set the tone for a traveler new to your hospitality.

It's basically a place for prostitutes to turn tricks and tweakers to get his and be loud all night long, but hey it is Salinas.

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.

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.

If you try sitting up on the bed to watch TV from a laying down position the mattress slides forward as to almost fall backwards.

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.
