Monterey Fairgrounds Inn

It was definitely affordable thats a plus but there was a weird smell outside and the noise was unreal

Room was clean but like weirdly empty and reeked of cigarette smoke. Other guests were loud well into the night. No smoke detector in room and no bedside lamps. Staff was friendly and the price was affordable. Probably wouldn't stay again but was adequate for what I needed.

Our room was disgusting. We booked a non smoking room and it reeked of cigarettes and have ashes in the corner of the room. Smoke detector has had it battery removed. The floor and bed was so nasty we couldn’t put our belongings there. Door hair and long hair everywhere. Someone shaved the face/head in the bathroom sink and it was still there. I would not recommend staying there.

This place was gross. The fire alarm had been ripped out of the wall. Bedroom filthy. Room filthy. Pool was disgusting and green. Trash all over the parking lot, including tires. Hairs all over the place. Front door did not work. Sheets and towels dirty. We left and did not even stay there.

It was awful! They are so cheap with their bedding and bed. It was basically a joke. No comforter at all, just a single sheet to sleep with.

What i like about Fairgrounds Inn is its location right across from the Monterey Fairgrounds. They have also installed solar and have begun up grading the motel, which we have observed over the last several years going to Monterey Jazz. What I did not like, was no chairs, no water glasses, no hair dryer, a broken toilet paper holder, a dresser which was old and worn and had drawers that did not fit properly, no reading lights, and that we had to ask for hangers. The bed only had a bedspread and no extra blankets. We used our own tap blankets we brought with us. I realize times are challenging, but when we first came to stay there, all those things were available. The remodeling in a room we had in other years reflected a big improvement, but not in the room we were given this year. I would like to support them because I am sure they need the business. They did have available rooms which is unusual for Jazz Fest. However, I would like them to take care of these issues as it really detracts from their entire operation. They have a great location and a great opportunity. I hope they make some changes.

Pulling the extra pillow from the closet and having a used drug pipe fall at my daughters feet was especially welcoming! Never again.

IGNORE THEIR PICTURES. This place is not kept up at all. Cigarette burns on blankets. Some white stuff..like mold on bathroom floor. TV didn’t work. Walls paper thin. Didn’t feel safe with my family their. In my opinion stay somewhere else and pay a little more.
