The first room i was given was supposed to be non-smoking, but when i entered, all i could smell was nasty stale smoke. the owner was nice and gave me another room without too much hassle. The rooms were dated, but about what you would expect for the $. The walls however are very thin, we could hear everything in... More

A last minute trip brought me to the Monterey because every other hotel was sold out (near the airport). Staff is friendly, rooms are dated, if there was wi-fi I couldn't find it and was not told about it, the free breakfast was very limited. What made my stay memorable? The smoke alarm beeping around 3am (low battery) and when... More

Since the new management took over you can see that they have made some changes and spent a little money. (well needed). As for the food....well it's average and reasonably priced. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful as well as the housekeeper I had the pleasure of speaking with! I would recommend this hotel and can't wait to see... More

I have never seen such dirty carpet in a hotel in my life. I would not walk on it without shoes. The included breakfast is a joke. This is a large property and the room for the breakfast is very small. We ended up going next door to Tim Horton's to eat because the wait was too long. More

We were at the Monterey for a pre-Canada Day buffet dinner and dance, advertised as such. The food was the worst we've had in a looong time: there was very little to choose from, most of the items had run out (at 7:00 p.m.) the salmon was virtualy inedible as were the chicken and beef brochettes. And who serves hamburgers... More

While unexpectedly overnight due to weather and flights, I couldn't get a room anywhere else but here. It was VERY dated old hotel. The mattresses were not comfortable, the sheets were threadbare and the pillows weren't nice. The only pro's were that they didn't charge much and they had vacancy. More

We recently had Easter Sunday brunch at the Monterey Inn and were very disappointed. The buffet was OK but for the price, it should have been spectacular. The service was extremely poor and a 15% gratuity for a buffet service is ridiculous and only has led to the servers to be complacent. We were not properly greeted, invited to the... More

Rooms were clean, breakfast and brunch was OK, service was mediocre. The staff at this hotel are young and inexperienced. I asked the front desk where I could go for a nice walk, and was told to walk along the highway until I got to the locks up the river. In defense of the staff, there is not path to... More

I've seen the other reviews, and it seems possible that some of these folks may be mental or perhaps just unlucky. I've stayed at the Monterry Inn more than once. I was there in Nov, 08, Dec 08, Feb. 09, April 09 and recently July 09 and don't have any complaints. The rooms a clean and neat. Its pretty obvious... More
