More about the hotel
This hotel should be shut down!!!
What a horrible experience, booked on line for Labor Day weekend. I figured $166 per night was reasonable for a holiday weekend. Boy was I wrong, $40 would have been overpriced!!!! Door didn't even have strike plates so it could not be properly secured, looked like blood stain on wall, the tub/shower was so dirty and stained I wouldn't set foot in it fully clothed, holes punched in the walls, everything in the room was disgusting. Had it not been for clean bedding, I think I would have forfeited the charge to my card and looked elsewhere. Lessons learned the hard way stick in your mind but any agency that lists this as a place to stay should get out of the business. I will not be staying there ever again and I will not be using trip adviser in the future!!!
Overpriced and dirty
When seeing road signs for fairgrounds thought this was upmarket and cost 250 dollars for two nights. Front looked nice with pretty flowers. Felt like a ghetto as dirty with rubbish in car park, two tables only to sit at for breakfast which was limited. Had to wipe own tables. Room was okay but sheets grey and towels poor. Safe didn’t work had to ask to open. Closet area poor. Dirty mat in shower. Bedside lamp switch broken. Thought Monterey was upmarket and for brits paying 125 each night for a motel was a bad experience.
ZERO Stars - one of the worst I've seen
A score of zero should be allowed. This place was an absolute dump. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. The kick in the gonads was the $250 we spent for a night during car week, booking on Hotwire last minute. Here's the short list of issues: - Blood on the walls - Mold in the bathrooms - Really stinky, small towels for the bathrooms - VERY dirty floors that looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years - All the racks which are suppose to hold towels or paper tissue were broken - Random furniture in the room - Random art, not hung, left on the floor or tables - VERY stained ironing board - Sheets did not fit beds - Lights didn't work - The only toiletry was 6 crappy bars of hand soap - nothing else I don't expect much from a crappy local inn, but of the 25 countries I've been to, including third world, this might be top worst place.
The worst motel I've ever booked.
Wow! Where do I begin?! I had no idea this horrible place out of a movie about a narc or criminal exist!!!! I do not recommend this motel to anyone. Non-smoking room reeks of cigarettes. brrrr! Airplanes going for a landing fly right above the motel. Cheap mattress. Pool was broken. Ice is 25 cents. Continental breakfast?! Please!!!! How did I not read the reviews?!
Convenient and clean
Stayed for a night at Monterey fairgrounds inn— convenient location for the airport, safe and relatively clean accommodations—-Price was right. Area is FULL of History— and restaurants, we would stay again.
