Our room was quite dirty. The refrigerator was yellow inside the cable wires for the television we’re sticking out of the wall, not connected, the manager did come in and connect it, but it was rigged and not properly placed. I ended up taking a shower and was creaking so much. I thought I was gonna fall through the floor.

Counter service is poor. I called to change booking and was placed on hold for nearly 10 minutes (he said hold for 5 minutes) before hanging up and calling back. When I finally checked in the clerk at the counter was SLOW and eventually gave me my room key. When I checked out the next morning, again, REALLY SLOW. I got a no smoking room but it smelled somewhat smoking and the room seemed barren with the towels in the bathroom and I didn't see the wash cloth, until after my shower since it was on the outside sink. I've stayed at Motel 6 as a last resort and Motel 6 rooms appeared better and cleaner than what Quality Inn Salinas represented.
