I didn't have the opportunity to explore much. It's was a very short business trip. I had a brief tour with a local real estate agent. It's an easy drive to Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur and Pebble Beach from there. I was disturbed by the amount of homeless and mentally challenged people wandering in the streets. It was quite sad, really. I stopped to put gas in my rental car, and a Homeless gentleman was dancing in a very erratic manner around the cars. It was a dangerous situation, mostly for him. I was afraid he was going to be hit. I couldn't leave because he wouldn't move away from my vehicle. I guess I'm just not used to seeing that sort of thing in the frequency it exists there. They need a homeless shelter or something to help these people. It broke my heart to see so many in need. On the plus side, lots of fresh fruit and veggies, it is the salad bowl of the US afterall. Lots of great, beautiful scenery, trails for hiking, biking, etc. The Mediterranean climate is great! It reminded me a bit of the weather in Greece.
I only stayed in Salinas out of the need that it was close to where I was coming from and not wanting to drive any further but I would not recommend anybody to stay in Salinas drive 40 more minutes to Monterey and stay in a much better place
I am here for business, Salinas has been one of my favorite places for decades, I love having the chance to work in the area. I'm a Steinbeck fan & Salinas is Steinbeck country, great food, great people, great history.
Salinas is a lovely town and possesses many interesting points of interest. But, don't stay at Best Western if you want to enjoy your vacation. I think the manager was the role model for every zombie movie that's ever been made. He had the personality of fish that had been laying out and the son for 3 days.
Was there for work but was a super tiny town but still has a population of $100k+ according to locals. People are friendly! However if you just wanna vacation I'd go Monterey and Santa Cruz both are 30mins from Salinas. I'd go Salinas if you had a purpose to see and do or if work related coz there's really nothing there at all.
“Our room was very clean & spacious. The staff was helpful & friendly. We will be returning to this hotel.”
“We stopped here on our way to Monterey, when everything else was booked. We got what we expected: a clean room for the night and a continental breakfast.”
“I've been disappointed with other hotels but I was very very pleased with the service and cleanliness.”
“The proximity to other areas in Salinas.”
“Different breakfast everyday was a plus. Dezzirae and Jazmin at the front desk were exceptional! They made our little kids feel special giving them crayons and coloring pages. They fixed a room issue very quickly! Everything was very clean and smelled good. I'm from Salinas, I stay there to visit family often. We will definitely stay at the Hampton again, but will book 2 queen beds instead of a king and sofa bed.”
