The property inside was clean, rooms were nice and big, and I liked that they had free coffee and breakfast. The BIG con was the night shift customer service. I called at night for toilet paper. I called 4-5 times until someone answered. The front desk guy said I had to go downstairs (so I did). No one was there. I called 5 times to see if anyone would answer and no one did. It honestly felt unsafe not having anyone there nor security (as that area of Salinas is not the safest at night).
