Motel 6 in Salinas is considered alright and good by some guests, with clean and quiet rooms that feel safe. A major positive is its great pet policy. The location is near many other motels and fast food places, offering nice walkability for quick meals. However, there are noted issues with uncomfortable beds that are hard and sloping, as well as hard chairs. Some maintenance problems like a flickering bathroom light or a sticking door are mentioned. The presence of homeless people around the area is noted, but staff are recognized for handling stress professionally. It is viewed as better than sleeping in a car.
Great place to crash for the night after a long haul!

Rooms recently renovated with a superficial renovation, renovated on the surface, aging furnishings visible when looking beyond the shiny new surfaces.

Stayed 2 nights. 2 star is a stretch. We advised 3 times in person we had no TV. 3 times they said they would send out someone to look at it. No one showed up. NOT HAPPY!!!! Typical for Motel 6. Last time I ever stay at Motel 6.
