Weekend in Salinas

Overall nice place relatively quiet it is right next to the freeway there were hairs left in the bathroom in the sink in the shower and on the ground the cleaning crew was overly aggressive they would knock and then enter my room even when I was in the shower. Three times on Sunday morning breakfast is good
