Top Monterey County Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Portola Hotel & Spa at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay. Was only there one night and wish it would have been longer! Great location."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Monterey Bay Seaside

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay with family"

Pacific Inn

8/10 Good

"The room (King bed) was spacious and always clean. No problem with the parking and the hotel was full the weekend we stayed. The mini fridge worked perfectly. The microwave too. No noise from the nearby airport only a little from the Fremont blvd but if you’re tired you don’t care about it. The location is pretty close to Monterey downtown and Monterey state beach but being the hotel close to the PCH (1) you can go easily and fast to the beaches north and south of Monterey."

Best Western De Anza Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel, perfect location and very nice staff"

Ramada by Wyndham Monterey

8/10 Good

"Room was very clean, and staff was helpful. It was a good stay overall; only reason I didn’t give five stars was it was a bit noisy with people walking in front of the room, and planes started taking off from the nearby airport before 6 (airport noise an issue for all the nearby hotels). Hotel does provide complimentary, sealed earplugs but that’s uncomfortable for me. I think if the rooms had better sound insulation it would be a 5 star based on value."

Rodeway Inn Monterey Near Fairgrounds

8/10 Good
