This is my go-to hotel when in Salinas. It has everything for the budget traveler: location, cleanliness, friendly staff, and a bar on the premises. Happily, evenings in the bar do not affect quiet areas for sleeping. I recommend Chesco's if you want an affordable, friendly, clean, air-conditioned stay in Salinas.
The property not well maintain, excellent location, but the hotel needs to be renovated, not worth the price I paid for the room, there were thousand of mosquitoes in the room, very disappointed, I would not come back here, not even a small tv in the room, overpriced.
DO NOT go by the pictures they have on Hotel's.com. We thought we were getting a room with a balcony only to get a room with NO window. They say they only have one room like advertised and it is always booked. Definitely very false advertising. This place is only good for a young backpacker who doesn't care about the type of room.
All of the workers were all so friendly and accommodating. The hostel is above a cool little restaurant that has very good prices. The location can not be beaten.
Fräscht hostel/hotell för bra pris. Perfekt läge på stranden, nära supermarket och massa restauranger. Finns ett litet men bra kök för att laga sin egen mat eller en härlig bar med utsikt över stranden där man kan beställa en pizza eller hamburgare. Frukost varje morgon och på söndagen fick vi våfflor!
The staff is always friendly and accommodating to guests. This is a no-frills property with an entertaining atmosphere and an unbeatable location complete with bar overlooking the Pacific.
Very friendly staff and excellent location in front of the beach. The bar is also a great place to hang out.

The rooms were very small it was hard to regulate the shower temperature and too many young people making lots of noise in the hall outside my door some even tried to come into my room
Muy buen lugar para compartir. Muy amables todos quiénes trabajan ahí.
El desayuno muy rico y si no quieres te puedes preparar el tuyo en la cómoda cocina que tiene todo lo necesario. Además puedes usar las instalaciones como el frente del hostal para comer disfrutando de la vista maravillosa del mar.
Regresaba a Salinas después de varios años y tenía ciertas dudas acerca de este hostel, pero la verdad es que se despejaron ni bien llegue. El local está muy bien conservado y súper bien ubicado. Me dieron una habitación lejos del ruido (106) y aún así se escuchaba un poco, pero en líneas generales todo bastante bien. Un pequeño inconveniente con algunas hormigas, pero es propio del lugar. El
Aire acondicionado funcionaba demasiado bien (tanto así que termine agripado! Jajaja!)

No me gustó el cargo. Extra
El cuarto muy pequeño y un poco incómodo para moverse
La Limpiesa cada segundo día medio raro
Por tres dólares más encontré un lugar co piscina ha Isaí y súper limpio cuarto amplio de baldosa elegante y más superior en todo sentido en mero salinas con vista al mar
We stayed 3 nights and 2 of the nights we had great night sleep, especially seeing how it’s right in the middle of all the action. The last night tainted our stay as the couple making love next door were obviously in a cry for attention being very very loud. After over an hour at 12:30am we shouted for them to stop. Hot water was great, air con was also great. The reception staff were often expressionless and the bar doesn’t open until 7pm so you need to head elsewhere for sunset drinks overlooking the beach.
Nuorille reppureissaajille. Alhaalla ei ole ikkunoita ulos, vaan käytävälle. Paikka on hieman meluisa, mutta sijainti on aivan meren rannalla. Aallot kuuluu huoneeseen. Huoneet ovat siistejä.
L'hôtel était en rénovation avec son concert de marteau et d'outil électrique entre 7 et 17h.
Le personnel n'était pas en mesure de respecter le prix obtenu par le site hôtel.com
