Rodeway Inn Monterey Near Fairgrounds

"Arrived outside of business hours and staff happily accommodated us. Rooms clean and staff pleasant. Ownership seems to care about their business and customers."

"The rooms are a bit outdated, but most importantly, they are clean. The single queen room is a tad small, but it's functional. We stayed in late Nov and paid $37 (plus tax and fees), great value! This location is close to all the main attractions in Monterey, the aquarium, canary row, the wharf, etc, are all within a few miles. This appears to be a family owned business... polite folks."

"This hotel is a stay away from. 2 nights booked for 4, 3 towels, no shampoo, no soap, rooms were not serviced, so no toilet paper, no tisssue paper no shampoo, no soap, no made beds, no coffee. Rooms were old, filthy carpets, water stains on walls. Reception was near impossible to understand, and was as equally unable to understand english (not Hispanic). Called as to why rooms were not serviced, and since he couldn't understand english, pushe me to his assistant. He was belligerent, yelling, and threatened to call police after i told him to service the rooms. We didn't have any toilet paper, and fortunately returning from camping, and had our own. This stay will be disputed on payment."

"Do yourself a favor and don't stay here , the staff are rude and completely unaccommodating. I parked and could see through open curtains that several rooms were ready and saw housekeepers were working on other rooms. I asked if I could get an early check in because I had to leave for work soon and even offered to pay a fee to do so and was told no and that rooms wouldn't be ready until after 3pm even though check-in is at 3. The housekeeper even saw me waiting and pointed to several rooms and told me they were ready. After getting the room late and almost being late for work I opened the door and the room was very dirty , every flat surface was dusty and almost sticky from built-up grime. There were hairs still stuck to the countertops. I regret not taking pictures to post because it was gross. it smelled like smoke, the floorboards creaked and the walls were so thin you could hear every small noise from adjacent rooms. The room was very sloppily painted and the were marks everywhere in room from terrible patch jobs and shoddy repair work. The whole property is very worn out and all the furnishings in the room were cheap and low quality and poorly maintained. Probably the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I'm pretty sure the few reviews on here that are above one or two stars are not genuine because the word choice so generic and all "anonymous" posters , seems like the same person wrote them all. DONT STAY HERE ITS TERRIBLE."
