Top Monterey Hotel Reviews

Scottish Fairway Inn

Scottish Fairway Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean, sheets were pristine, and the room even came with a small kitchen. Wifi was good enough, the staff were friendly, but it did take some time to get their attention. The only real issues was the lack of air conditioning, which meant having to keep the windows open by an airport. Also, the bath, when first turned on, would spout out rusty debris before becoming clear. Luckily the water from the shower head didn't have the same issue. Overall a decent experience. Would stay again."

8/10 Good
"The lobby carpet has some age, but it is a wonderful classic property. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very well maintained and very spacious. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Our only issue is the road noise and how loud the room is. If you crack open a window its unbelievable. With no A/C it is a tough choice .. cool temps and noise or closed windows and heat but quiet. Great location with wonderful restaurants close by. Parking was a minor inconvenience, but is not too bad."
