The Residence Inn Salinas Monterey is noted for its friendly and warm staff, who provide great customer service with genuine smiles and enthusiasm. Multiple staff members receive special praise for being helpful, accommodating, and going out of their way for guests. The rooms are described as big, clean, and comfortable with well-stocked kitchenettes. The breakfast is good, offering items like cold brew and oat milk, with staff attentive to allergy concerns. The location is close to grocery stores, though quite a distance from Monterey and Carmel. A minor critique mentioned a lack of body wash and bottled water in the rooms. Overall, guests report pleasant stays and a feeling of being welcomed.
