The check-in time was listed as 4:00 PM, but I arrived a bit early around 3:30 PM hoping to possibly wait in the lobby. Unfortunately, I found the hotel locked and was unable to enter through the front door, which was quite disappointing. It would have been helpful to know that the building would be inaccessible prior to check-in time. I understand check-in starts at 4:00 PM, but having a place to wait or clear communication about building access would greatly improve the guest experience.

Clean and quiet hotel. Close to everything we needed. The price rates are a bit high, and parking in front was a bit limited.

Great place but they need to find "soft close" attachments for the doors! They are heavy and close extremely loudly. Breakfast excellent and clerks friendly and helpful.

I stayed at the Hampton Inn in Salinas on April 14, 2025, with my two disabled children and our fully trained service dog. From the moment we arrived, the experience was uncomfortable—not because of the facility, but because of the front desk staff’s shocking lack of professionalism and basic human decency. Every time we walked through the lobby or hallway, the woman at the front desk stared us down—long, unbroken stares that were clearly meant to intimidate or judge. Not once, not twice, but every single time. It was unsettling and completely unacceptable, especially when you’re already managing travel with disabled children and a service animal. When I calmly brought up how her behavior made me feel, instead of showing any empathy or professionalism, she immediately became defensive. She didn’t apologize or try to listen—she dismissed my concerns entirely. And when I asked for her name so I could properly report the issue, she refused to give it. Let that sink in: a front desk employee at a Hilton-owned property refused to identify herself after being called out for offensive and inappropriate conduct. This is more than bad customer service—it’s a failure in basic humanity. People with disabilities and those traveling with service animals should never be made to feel judged, scrutinized, or unwelcome. Avoid this location. There are many other hotels in the area where guests are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. This place is not one of them

A bit of highway noise in my room...

I was in the room facing the freeway and it was really loud. Hotel was clean, spacious and comfortable. I just wish it was quieter.

The place is very clean, newly renovated. Just off the highway 101. It looks like the room is sound proof, very quiet. Breakfast is good too. I will absolutely come back.

Pooped on our pet stay.

The hotel offered pet stays but did not list the charge or that there was a charge. On arrival they charged us $75 for a well behaved pet. OUTRAGEOUS

Staff was helpful and courteous. Breakfast options were plentiful and well stocked. Our room wasn't refreshed the last 4 days of our 6 day stay. Every other day for stays 3 days or longer was listed on paperwork and applicant in bathroom. One of the lights in the bathroom would go out right after turning on.

It's a simple hotel. Next to Starbucks and the freeway. It does need a little upgrade with their lights, bathtubs, and beds.
