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 However, the rooms are outdated and the property is undergoing remodeling construction.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.
don't come here if you like hot showers my husband tried taking a hot shower at night and only last like 3 minutes then the water turned cold and in the morning again he tried taking a shower and all the sudden the water turned cold he was stinky all day
