Howard Johnson by Wyndham Salinas, hotel in Salinas

Conveniently located off Highway 101 with easy access to Highway 68, this Salinas, California hotel offers guest rooms with free WiFi. The National Steinbeck Center is 15 minutes’ walk away.

Nothing. From a distance it looks decent and as you get closer you notice how dirty it is. Once we got out of the car we noticed a lot of traffic from random people walk-in and out of rooms and across the street. The parking lot was dirty and halls had trash in the corners. You can tell they don’t up keep the cosmetics.

    The Steinbeck Center is a must.

    The Steinbeck Center is a must. I had breakfast at a local coffee shop on Main street, a few blocks away from the Steinbeck center. I can't remember the name, but the food was good and affordable. The staff was great. Seems like a draw for the locals.

    A little farther from Monterey than I would have liked.

    A little farther from Monterey than I would have liked. Took 45 minutes with traffic. Went to Fujiyama Japanese Restaurant in salinas. The chefs make it interactive, So much fun to watch them prepare the meal, the food was fantastic and my 8 year old loved it.

    There is a one day reason to stay in Salinas, John Steinbeck Museum. Unfortunately booking.com is trying to charge us for TWO Nights. I am on the verge of never using OR recommending them again. Please booking.com refund us for the night we did not stay at Salinas Best Western. We only stayed the ONE night .

    I came to Salinas in September of 2020 as a traveler for nuclear medicine. I was to be in Salinas for 2 months at Natividad hospital. At first I was disappointed that Monterey Car Week and other car events had been cancelled. I heard of the Salinas Cars and Coffee on Main Street near Starbucks. I met some really great guys there as well as going on a cruise held by the guys at Deadend Magazine. I have a newer muscle car but everyone was friendly and great! I was asked to extend my contract for another month and I agreed. It was sad to leave in November and return to my home in Las Vegas. I am currently back in Salinas working at Natividad. They requested me specifically while a staff member was off on medical leave. I was excited to have the opportunity to return and see everyone again. I love the city and the car culture here. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. As an example, I had issues with my brakes and one of the guys offered his tools, garage, and time to change them out for me. The weather is great and there is plenty to do and see here. Especially if you are into automobiles. There have been some vehicles here I have not seen since I was a kid. I have enjoyed my second stay just as much or more! It’s almost like a second home and I have made some great friends!!

    For us, being a block over from family is most convenient.

    For us, being a block over from family is most convenient. Good breakfast at the hotel. Everything in the hotel is clean and kept up. If you have a concern, the front desk is always accommodating. Our favorite spot is a brewery on Main St. near the Steinbeck Center. Salinas is centrally located to reach Monterey and Carmel within 30-45 minutes.

    The Steinbeck Center is informative, well laid out.

    The Steinbeck Center is informative, well laid out. I enjoyed the typewriting experience. Please visit The Steinbeck home and support the volunteers who maintain and run the beautiful home all year round. Patria is a wonderful restaurant in Old Town, serving Italian, German and Italian inspired food in a beautiful building. Great bookstores.

    Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and well cared for. The property was a bit dated and in a busy residential/commercial area but overall, for what we needed (a quick convenient place to stay for a short event) it was great. Prices are high, but that's expected for this area. I would recommend this hotel.

    The only reason we attempted to stay at this hotel was because it was the only thing open. We were on a little stay cation (from slo county) and decided to try and get a place to stay for the night. I appreciate the fact they had a room available for us.

    Upon leaving for dinner, we spotted a hooker a block from the hotel, bonus for some, entertaining conversation with the wife for me. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was so so, but it got us on the road.

    We enjoyed that the Chateau has history and has been preserved. The room was large, and the bed was comfortable. The staff, even though absent, were helpful and guided us through for late check-in.

    Guests are mainly farm workers and they are very courteous. The music they were playing in the next room was turned off at bed time and they were quiet when waiting for the van at 4:30 AM.
