I used to travel there for work quite a bit. I found very little of interest in Salinas. I would usually try to stay in Monterey as there were some better restaurant and hotel options.
There is a brewpub in town though. I haven't been, but here is a link...
Last review was in September. Haven't been there in years myself.
