Hotels near Monterey County Fairgrounds

"Yes"

"The hotel itself was beautiful and had a relaxing atmosphere, especially the outdoor fire pit area with a great view. However, there were several disappointing aspects during our stay. Self-parking was extremely expensive at $56 per night, which felt excessive. There was also no bell service available to help with luggage, making check-in and unloading difficult. I was surprised that the sauna required an additional $20 per person to use, considering amenities like this are often included at hotels in this price range. The toiletries were also not great — the shampoo and conditioner left my hair feeling very dry afterward. One of the biggest letdowns was the outdoor seating area by the fire pit. While the setting was beautiful, the chairs and pillows were noticeably dirty with bird droppings, which made it hard to fully enjoy the space. Overall, the property has potential, but better cleanliness, included amenities, and improved guest services would make a huge difference."

"It was cool"

"The property had beautiful grounds. However, they’re very strict about quiet hours. During check-in, the representative spoke so fast because it seemed that she did not want to explain the rules and policies of the hotel so we missed half of the information that was “explained to us.” There was plenty of parking, which is a plus, however they charge for parking per night which due to the high cost of the hotel, you would expect parking to be included or bike rentals because you’re also paying for resort fees. Overall the cost of the hotel does not represent what you would expect you get from the hotel. "

"Check in was easy and the staff friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Son enjoyed the pool which was nice after long days at Laguna Seca. Close enough to fast food restaurants and grocery stores including some fantastic donuts at Monterey Donuts. Also being an easy drive to and from Laguna was great. If we are able to make the trip again next year we will strongly consider using El Castell again"

"Lone Oak Lodge is convenient & very close by to many places I wanted to see —- Monterey, Carmel, Carmel Valley, Pebble Beach, 17 Mile Drive, Pacific Grove, Carmel Mission Basilica Church. Only 5 to 15 minutes drive. Stayed here a couple of nights. Reasonable price for huge, clean room & accommodating staff, including the housekeeping. The smell of the room though is too clean! Ingredients of cleaning supplies might be a bit much for people with smell sensitivity. Thank you!"

"I traveled solo and had a wonderful stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. The staff were excellent, and the property itself is lovely with a great location.."

"The staff were nice, but once I got to my room, I found the sink, and the floor, where the microwave was there was hair on the floor. Also, the Internet connection was so bad. I had to use my data from my phone to do my research and work. I also had to go to the local library to do the rest of my work so hopefully they could fix that Internet connection, because it is horrible."

"Very nice and clean "
