Top Salinas River Dunes Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

Best Western Marina State Beach

8/10 Good

"We arrived super late to our check in, staff was helpful on site and made the check-in process very easy for both reservations. We were worried about us check-in so late since we tried emailing and calling and had no reply. But they did accommodate according to our initial request.Room- bed area was bigger than expected, shower and toilet area very compact, sink area had a nice bright mirror. For us having parking,microwave, mini fridge and working ac/heating system is a plus. We can tell the hotel is or recently had some upgrades done by the left over blue tape to cover some areas,the smell of recent paint work and some newer furniture. Something can use some improvements like maybe another trash can in the room not just the bathroom, towels, internet but overall it was not an unpleasant stay we enjoyed our time here. At night was quiet,plenty of parking."
