first off, the hotel had signs saying the restaurant and bar were closed for renovation...not anything mentioned on the hotels.com site.....secondly, the first room they put us in was dank, and moldy smelling. the second room they put us in was bare bones, no ice bucket, cups, etc etc. We had paid for two nights, stayed the first night, complained to front desk, they said they would do what they could... after they did nothing, hotels.com gave me one key cash to cover second night...btw. hotel closed 1-6-26 FOR RENOVATIONS, WHY WERE THEY OPEN 12-27 WHEN IT WAS A NIGHTMARE???

Bar/restaurant was closed for renovations but that was totally fine because so many awesome places to go that are walkable. Staff was so friendly and we felt well cared for. The fireplace and communal spots were a nice way to unwind and meet others that were traveling.

Room was good but no TV. That didn’t bother us. It is an old hotel so don’t expect modern stuff. It was clean, they were nice and it is in a great location. 4/5. We were satisfied

Lost some of the charm

I don't know if it because of new ownership and transition, but my wife and I were commenting that it seems like the soul is gone from the Monte Vista. I officiated a wedding there several years ago and it seems like a lot of the charm of the facility is missing. That charm is the main reason I booked there. I hope that it comes back.

First for the positive: the young man who checked us in was pleasant and knowledgeable of the town and possible restaurants during our stay. The young woman cleaning was delightful and friendly. Check in was easy. The not so good: my mistake for not calling to confirm whether there were rooms on the first floor as I had just had knee surgery. There are not, and there is no elevator. This want a deal breaker… I can do steps one at a time. The room appears to be recently renovated, however, the bed squeaked each time one of us moved, and the floor squeaked. The blinds in the bathroom didn’t fit the space. And lastly, the most concerning: the man who. He ked us in stressed that he left at 10pm, and the front door would be locked at 11pm, accessible only with a code, which he provided. As the motel appeared to have only two staff people there, I asked if someone would be there overnight. His reply: “Not tonight”. I do not believe that the hotel had any staff on duty… which my husband and I found slightly disconcerting. There was a phone number provided in case of any problems… but that left us a little unsettled. I am hoping upper management will address this review so that others can book with the assurance that there is some staff on duty every night. Do note that the restaurant and bar are closed for renovations.

We stayed 2 years ago and had a great experience. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed. There’s no breakfast offered, and the answer was “we don’t know why.” They’re supposedly getting ready for renovations, but it’s just disappointing that it’s just as expensive to stay with the amenities gone. Room was clean, area was clean and open but ready for renovations. I hope they do renovate and open the restaurant, it was awesome.
