The hotel is clean, and good location (for Salinas). Bedroom is tiny and TV only with Youtube, who ever heard of that.
Salinas is a dump and I would never go back, with the slight exception that the seafood was pretty good. The beach is smaller than I ever expected, and if you go off the main road fronting the beach it just gets worse.
We left after one night back to GYE to the Wyndham and enjoyed the next day in style and comfort which we wanted for a 2 day break.
