Overview

Off Highway 101 in the Monterey Bay area, the Best Western Salinas Valley Inn & Suites, Salinas, California, offers a comfortable stay with an outdoor heated pool and spa, a full breakfast, fast Wi-Fi, and with spacious rooms, family friendly suites, featuring two separate rooms, for extra space and comfort. The setting puts historic downtown Salinas, the coast, and the raceway within easy reach, well placed for the rodeo, the motorcycle races, and the air show. The pool offers a cool break after a day exploring. Salinas lies in the fertile Salinas Valley, the salad bowl of the world and the hometown of the writer John Steinbeck, whose legacy fills the National Steinbeck Center downtown, with the racing at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, annual Salinas airshow, the great summer rodeo, and the beaches and aquarium of the Monterey Peninsula a short drive west. Out past town the lettuce and strawberry fields run green to the foot of the coastal hills.
