Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Scottish Fairway Inn

Scottish Fairway Inn

8/10 Good
"I knew that this was a 'budget friendly' hotel. It was no frills as expected, but clean and comfortable. There is little sound supression from the overhead room which was noticeable, but once they quieted down, there was no problem. Please note that they add a $100 'deposit' to one's credit card which I was not expecting. I assume that will be refunded right away in my case. The motel was in a quiet and safe neighborhood very close to Monterey, which was great."

"We had a great experience at the Portola Hotel & Spa! The staff was very friendly and helpful. A special thank you to Edgar Santos from Engineering for coming to our room and fixing the Wi-Fi so my son could connect and play his gaming system. He was kind, professional, and made sure everything was working before he left. My son was so happy! I just wished the jets at the jacuzzi were It’s the little things and great customer service that make a hotel stay even better. We really appreciated Edgar going out of his way to help us.
