Monterey Fairgrounds Inn provides a convenient and affordable place to stay in Monterey. The staff receives consistent praise for being extremely nice, pleasant, kind, friendly, and responsible, offering spectacular customer service. Many guests highlight feeling safe, noting the quiet location and that management does frequent walk-throughs of the property. The rooms are generally described as clean, spacious, and decently clean, with specific compliments for the clean bathroom and comfortable beds. Parking is great and the location is good for a quick stop or attending a nearby event. However, the rooms are outdated and the property is undergoing remodeling construction. Some units have issues, such as a very tiny TV, no dresser, a non-working oven, and a microwave placed unprofessionally on the fridge. A recurring concern is the lack of soap in rooms, and the hot water can take a long time to heat up. Despite these drawbacks, the staff's conscientious service and the overall value make it a recommended, family-friendly spot for a spontaneous or transitional stay.
U get what u pay for , staff is very friendly. Rooms where not clean and my towels had hairs on it ðŸ˜. Coffee maker never worked 😕 and had to ask for a different key card because it didn't want work. Honestly it was a last minute buy for the night

What a horrible place to stay! Even for just a few hours! Super dirty and run down! Hands down it was the worst hotel during our roadtrip.
