Where to stay at Laguna Seca
#6
Isn't there a Comfort Inn or Quality Inn at 68 and Airport Rd. that's reasonable? It's about 4 miles from the track towards Monterey. I stayed there once but it's been a while, usually stay at the track.

Here is an actual suggestion, this is where Tintin stays :

Pleasant atmosphere right on the bay and nice but not fancy.
A lot cheaper than the Lodge at Pebble Beach and you don't have to dress for dinner. There are a lot of fancy shops at PB as well , so if your wife accompanies you she will be bored and spend a pile of ducats for clothes and things , ask me how I know.

I stay at the Motel 6 in Monterey. There is a bowling alley across the street, a Denny's a half block down and an adult bookstore next door and the track is a few miles away. I don't know what else a guy needs.

Laurel Inn Motel:
831-449-2474
801 W Laurel Dr
Salinas, CA 93906
I've stayed there several times. Good quality rooms, a nice restaurant on premises, a pool, and a good price.
If you stay in or near Monterey you will pay a small fortune. I paid $188 a night to stay in a hotel in Monterey the weekend before the Historics in 2002. Then I paid less than half that price to stay at the Laurel Inn the weekend of the Historics that same year.

I'll be there just after the historic are done. I'm a bit leery of staying in Salinas though. I'd prefer Seaside or Monterey.
There are so many Hotels, it's hard to pick one sight unseen. so I'm just looking for some feedback.

The Plaza is about $450-600 a night and the lodge is about $800-$2000-. I misunderstood your plans, sorry. There is a Best Western on the Beach at the track exit from Hwy 1 on 218 to Del Ray Oaks that has a good location and is very inexpensive like under $160-. I have not stayed there but it looks quite good although far from restaurants.
I will say that the best food in the area is north on hwy1 to Moss Landing - go into the little town area and eat at Phil's. It has great seafood. We used to drive down there when I lived in the Bay Area and make an evening of it.
Make sure you do the 17 mile drive on a weekday, it is really spectacular.
