Bayside Inn

This place is very convenient in how close it is to the fairgrounds. Staff is very friendly and nice!

Not all the rooms have AC so our first night was miserably hot and stuffy. We had to leave the windows open and fan on full blast just to get cool. Could not leave items (like my husband’s bagpipe instrument) in room for how hot it got. Bed very old and uncomfortable. Fridge makes very strangle electrical popping noise every so often. EXTREMELY OVER PRICED. My husband comes to the Monterey Scottish Games to compete and this was the most lowly attended year for bands by the games. There was fewer sport competitors and vendors as well and I suspect it has to do how crazy expensive all the hotels and motels rate hikes get in the surrounding area. If they are trying to drive away customers they’re doing a good job cause it’s getting to the point where there might not be another Scottish Games in Monterey. It’s sad cause it was one of my favorites of the games in California, but I don’t know if we will be able to come next year if it cost this much again.

free parking, big and clean room

Carpet floor, poor shower pressure, terrible breakfast ( just coffee and muffins)
