We did a baby shower at Corralitos Grange for people coming from the Salinas area and the Central…read moreValley. We anticipated about 80-100 guests dropping by on a Saturday afternoon. We got a early access to the hall at 4 pm on the Friday prior to decorate and help set up tables. The tables and chairs are fold out but we were able to setup on three sections with ample space for kids to run around. There is a side room, ballroom style which can accommodate a DJ. Then there's a back kitchen with a couple stoves and ample space for a bar area. The hall has a stage and plenty of parking for guests. Although parking was not an issue there is a park across Little Corralitos Way for public parking. All in all, great experience, and not a ton of drama with the parking situation. Would recommend the hall for family get togethers and moderately sized events. One thing to keep in mind is cell service may be hit or miss and getting to the hall can be challenging for first time visitors. They can always stop at Corralitos Market and ask for directions.

A beautiful venue and beautiful location! I'm a local so I've been a few times and always had…read moreissues with the neighbors, the last time I was there for a wedding a neighbor threatened people including me stating that he would be bringing his gun. The police were called, it was a real mess. Then all of the sudden it was decided that all of the cars were parked in the wrong direction and every single car had to be moved, a fire code issue they claimed. The worst part is that the flow of traffic was not impeded, people were able to pass through normally etc. It's just neighbors like this Yosemite Sam asshole who believe Corralitos belongs to them and they're going to police people, these generational types living in grandma's house. This venue is a yes but you need to designate someone who can play yard duty otherwise your day will be a never ending cluster fuck.

Adj: Pretty Predictable HIE…read more This Holiday Inn Express was clean, spacious, the staff member who checked us in was warm and welcoming. She said she specifically put us in a room with a nicer view b/c we're platinum elite members, and up on the top floor so that we wouldn't have noise coming from above. So I'm not sure staff would do so if a customer wasn't an IHG member, but she was also helpful in explaining different facilities/services available. The room was spacious and mostly clean, bright, and comfortable. The carpet could use some steam cleaning and we didn't feel the carpet was clean, so we made sure to keep our flip flops on, but other than that everything else about the room was good. The pool was nice but cold, and we expected a spa which would've been nice, but our kids enjoyed swimming in the indoors pool. Although we didn't use the exercise room/small gym, it looked sufficient for a hotel stay workout. The breakfast service was plentiful although there was only 1 choice of yogurt and it had genetically modified ingredients so we couldn't feed that to our kids. There was enough of other items so that was nice, to include proteins. Overall, this was one of the nicer HIEs we've stayed at. Hopefully, it'll only get better and not worse. I just read some of the concerning reviews, and the reviews seem to either be glowing or alarming, so I hope the hotel has been taking steps to improve.
