Was comfortable and clean. Not enough amenities. No cups, not enough washcloths or soaps for two people. Train too close to tracks. No information about breakfast or wifi on property. Too expensive for what you get.

The beds were terrible and the shower nozzles didn’t have good pressure. I wasn’t happy with the TV size or the kitchenette. I don’t plan on ever returning although the customer service was adequate. This surrounding area is very nice. Thank you.

For the price, the Fairground Inn is wonderful! My only real complaint is that my bathtub was missing the little stopper. This is a basic hotel, but it does have a pretty good breakfast--the hard boiled eggs were cooked perfectly, the cereal was fresh, they had Sunny D(!) and milk, and nice yogurts! I'll definitely be back!

Very convenient location from the Evergreen state fairgrounds where we attended an event. Friendly people and decent breakfast options for the price we paid for a night’s stay.

I will never stay at the Fairground Inn again. Better to drive an extra 30-45 minutes than stay here. It was dirty, the sheets were stained, the mattresses felt like they were purchased from the dump. The tub drain was obviously clogged and when I requested the front desk handle it, nobody did. The place should be condemned.

Staff was EXTREMELY rude. Took a picture of my drivers license and when asked how long it will be on record he said permanently and if I don't like it I can go elsewhere. The carpet was disgusting, bathroom was not cleaned, stairs outside falling apart. The train track is next to the property and is LOUD, not a fault of the hotel, but something to note. Changed room several times, some rooms smelled really bad, some rooms had a loud buzz. Everyone I talked to hated it there, so AVOID.

I had reserved 3 rooms. My party stayed in all 3. The rooms were dirty. The smoke alarm was beeping from low battery and the front desk person just removed the somke alarm and never replaced it. The heater didnt have control buttons, and he pulled a key out of his pocket to turn it on and set it to high heat with no way for us to turn it off. The beds were poor and inconsistent in the rooms. The double queen rooms we rented had full size beds. The front desk guy inspected the rooms for cleanliness and all he did was spray fabreeze around the room. The door wouldnt stay closed and would just pop open. The toilet clogged the first night and was never remedied. We had to go to the other rooms or the restaurant near by. There was no water pressure in the shower or sink. All of these issues were in just one room and my party members were just being polite by not complaining about their rooms. DO NOT STAY HERE!!

It's your typical not so expensive, not so clean, not so well located, but convenient motel. Pros: basically the only accommodation in Monroe, microwave and fridge in room, good to-go breakfast, not cheap but reasonably priced (80 usd tax incl). Cons: between train tracks and US2 highway, nosy on botha sides, kind of old, but more importantly... Wasn't very clean really. And I'm not the type to complain easily about cleanliness, the room really wasn't so clean.

You get what you pay for.

Asked for accessible. Started by offering a second floor room. No elevator. Bed was like a lumpy rock. Step over tub. Close to a one inch gap under the door. 24 degree low. Second night used a towel to stop the free flow of cold air into the room at night. Not staying there again.
