Very comfortable room and friendly staff.
0.5 / 5.0
I recently stayed at the Residence Inn by Marriott, and it was one of my most disappointing experiences in hospitality. Having stayed at this facility over 30 times since moving to Salinas, I’ve witnessed a drastic deterioration in quality, likely due to housing illegal individuals and participating in other questionable activities.
Upon check-in, I encountered unprofessional and violent behavior from the staff. The room was dirty, with mold in the bathroom and dog feces scattered at the entrance. An overwhelming foul odor permeated the room.
I reported these issues, but management's response was inadequate; instead of fixing the problems, they provided dusty fans for the broken AC. When I asked to move to another available room, I was met with resistance.
The situation escalated when I requested an extra 20 minutes at check-out for my daughter to finish breakfast. This reasonable request was met with hostility, seemingly in retaliation for my prior complaints. Later, I received a noise complaint for having my music on while packing up, despite the cleaning staff blasting their own music.
Additionally, I noticed suspicious individuals around the hotel, and when I raised my concerns, I was falsely accused of violence, leading to the police being called. This hotel is deeply troubling, and I urge potential guests to avoid the Residence Inn by Marriott. No one should have to endure such a harrowing experience.

Perfect hotel for a family of five. We had a two bedroom suite with a common area containing a kitchen and living room. Very close to all stores and restaurants. Would stay here again.

Its nice and clean and very comfortable bed. But the only thing i got upset is that the room i got is nxt to a patio with bonfire with people sitting outside and being so loud. It woke me up 3 times and this is almost midnight and i am thankful to the guy at front desk and told them to call it a night coz its not just me who called the front desk to complain. But over all everything good.

We liked the size of our rooms and the kitchenette! It was perfect and met all our needs with a refrigerator, microwave, small stove, dishes, silverware, and a couple of pans. We choose this hotel every time. Plus they have free breakfast in the mornings!

We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite and had a great surprise in learning that each room had its own bathroom! We loved having that extra restroom, it truly gave a sense of comfort and privacy.
The couch was okay, it could have been more comfortable. The beds were okay as well.

My parents stayed in a different room and their room was sooo cold, took almost 2 hours for the heater to turn on
Other than that, everything else was great

Staff at check in were very nice. However, Room had a not so clean smell. Bed in bedroom was okay. The pull out bed was awful I felt sorry that my son had to sleep on it. The wall paper in the bathroom was peeling off. The room just felt kinda rubbed down. Disappointed for the price we paid to stay here.

Choose this hotel for extended stays, because room setup and size here were good. Shower heads need to be upgraded or cleaned for buildup effecting water. Pool and hot tub were out of service, which would have resulted in us staying somewhere else had we known ahead time. We were on our 28th anniversary trip so
that was a major drawback for us and seriously effected the quality of our stay, Staff (both front desk and housekeeping) are incredibly polite and welcoming…hope management knows this, because their people are this hotel’s shining beacon.

Pool has been out of order for a long time!!! It would be nice to get that going again.

The main reason we booked was for the indoor jacuzzi, and it nor the pool were in working condition. Very sad we couldn’t use neither.

Our room was very clean. The entire place had a smell to it. Not sure if they just laid carpet or painted. No smell in the room. Just hallways.

Area looks okay. Pool and jacuzzi was closed, I called a day before to verify it was open. Tv in living room did not work. I had to go downstairs 4 because the phone to call front desk didn't work either. Really disappointed!

The stay wasn’t up to the standards we expect of Residence Inn. The TV in our first room wasn’t working properly. We moved to
another room in which the phone didn’t work. We were most disappointed with the breakfast and coffee. The coffee in the morning was very watery. The hot food was not hot. The fruit was inedible. One day the bananas were black and the next day they were green. We’ve stayed at several Residence Inn’s, but this was the worst.
5.0 / 5.0
Love the layout of the room. Definitely a place you can stay at for a longer stretch of time since there's a small kitchen with fridge, range, microwave, and dishwasher. The room is spacious with plenty of areas to sit, stretch out, and work besides the bed itself. Roomy. Great place.

Amazing place to stay 🙌

Hotel is not like Residence Inns I've stayed before. Charge $100.00 non refundable deposit for my dog. Then $12.00 for parking. Walls were thin so heard walking above me, like pounding. And walking outside room. For these reasons I will not be back.

The fold out couch mattress no longer functions. You could feel all of the metal support bars. My kids felt better sleeping on the floor.
1.5 / 5.0
Room was really cramped. Bed was comfortable but the pull out mattress of the couch was not - I was glad my 4yo was sleeping on it and not me. Lots of furnishings were showing age and were clearly not cleaned regularly or taken care of. Breakfast items were not put out all at the same time. At one point, there was no coffee at breakfast for the 30 minutes that we were there. Overall the feeling was "ho hum".

We had stayed there years ago and it was great. However this trip was not very good at all. The first night we had only cold air coming from the broken heater. We froze. The next day they gave us a new room. My husband just had back surgery so I had to move everything myself. I packed up everything and put it all away in this 2nd room The kitchen sink was not working so here comes the third room. I packed up everything again and moved to the third room. The dishwasher was broken the bath tub was in bad shape the bathroom sink was not draining and the remote in the bedroom was broken. We gave up. We couldn’t get any type of refund because we booked through Expedia. Three nights for almost $600. Plus parking fee. I had injured my back moving to all those rooms. I had to stay in bed while my husband went to see our family for our last Christmas in America. think that if we got three crappy rooms how many other rooms are like that in the hotel. They couldn’t find us 1 room that wasn’t tore up. I’m very angry. I hurt my back, missed our Christmas dinner, paid $600 plus parking. Not fair. I’ll never recommend this hotel and if I could, I’d try to stop anyone from staying there, so they wouldn’t be hurt like we were. This was our last Christmas in America and I missed it. I may never see our family again and I missed my last chance because I was injured.

Nice and convenient place, it’s is 1 bed room with kitchen. Thr room has all the amenities you'd expect including flat screen TV, blackout shades, microwave/fridge, desk and couch. The staff was very friendly and the lobby has nice food.
Overall, decent place if you're in town for several days.
1.0 / 5.0
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I missed my check-in, and upon arrival, I discovered my reservation was canceled without notice. Despite assurances over the phone from the manager for a next-day refund, I later received notification of their refusal to issue it. This experience was unprofessional and dishonest, and I will not be booking with this establishment again.

Sheets and carpets smell so bad. We moved to another room for the second night. Sheets and carpets smell the same. Pullout bed mattress was literally stained with all over and extremely dirty. Roosters were crowing so loud and cars were racing in neighborhoods in the middle of the night. Phone was missing and kitchenwares were missing (no pans and pots only lids). Our family used to stay at this property often and we loved it, but it is sad to see that the quality control is not there anymore. But the staffs were nice and trying to accommodate.

It was over 100 degree and our room air condition was not working. Our 1yr old child was not able to sleep until and cried until mid night. The front desk didn't tell us about the air condition until we found out later. They told us there is no room to swap and you can talk to the manager in the morning. The manager was not there when we checkout. Front desk left a note and said someone will call us and give us discount the same day. It has been 2 days now and no one called. We are extremely frustrated about the poor service and wish someone can call us back to say at least they are sorry.
4.0 / 5.0
I’ve stayed at different branches of Residence Inn and this one does not disappoint. The same positive experience, per usual. The only thing is that there was a layer of dust where the folded towels were placed, by the bathroom sink.
2.5 / 5.0
Friendly staff JoAnne went above and beyond to make sure this Texas girl was comfortable and even gave us some local restaurant and attraction ideas.
