My stay at Monarch Mountain Lodge was supposed to a nice Valentines get away. The pictures that were posted on Expedia made this hotel look like an actual lodge with mountain appeal but what we got was more like the Bates motel. Upon arriving the outside looked very run down. As we entered the hotel to checkin the parking lot and all the way up to the entrance was pure ice not sanded, the king size bed was broke, there was barelyany hot water for a second person which tturned cold within a few minutes, some of the amenities were not available/unoperational like the hot tub and some arcade games, the property overall was in vwry poor conditions with a weird musty smell, front staff not available when calling to report anything, deceptive Expedia pictures of property, room and amenities, large gap aylt the bottom of my hotel room door from it being chewed by animals in which I Im allergic. Poor quality everything. The girl at front counter who checked me in told me she didnt know if my room was cleaned before she gave me the room so she said she would go check. Upon checking she still gave me a room with a broken bed sloping in the middle. I didnt even sleep under the covers because I was scared to. I slept on top of the covers fully clothes, beanie and coat. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone! Needs some major renovations, thorough cleaning and severe updates

There was NO support staff at all at any time! It was weird to try to check in with NO ONE there. I called several times, received no answer and finally went through the hotel trying to find anyone. Finally found a cook in the kitchen and he called to have someone hand me a key. Cannot image any hotel being run this way. It says that if you want a board game ask at the desk, but there was NO ONE ever to ask! Room was old but clean. Assuming it had dust or mold as we both had frequent sneezing fits. TV turned on but there was nothing available to see. Assuming they didn't pay the subscription. Wi Fi was good so we could watch a show on our phone. Best part was the cook. Friendly and helpful, and made an excellent stromboli and pizza. We had a large group and he went above duty to set it up for us and serve us. He deserves a better place to work! This place could be such a great destination hotel for skiing and hiking but management is obviously lacking. It needs someone to love it and create a positive good atmosphere to host families and travelers.

First, check in was woeful. The receptionist was unhelpful and slow, and didn’t tell us about any of the following problems. The room itself was incredibly dry, the heater did not adjust, and the shower/bath was lukewarm at best, which is not nice after a long day skiing. On top of that, it was also not particularly clean, and there was mold in the bathroom. But the problems did not stop there. The next morning, we had planned to be able to take the shuttle to Monarch Mountain to ski, only to find out it wasn’t running. The food was also terrible, both breakfast and dinner. Very minimal options, slow service, and horribly cooked (and it still wasn’t cheap!). My girlfriend also ended up on the toilet for over an hour after eating the chicken tenders, be warned! To top it all off, the hot tubs advertised were out of order. I’d give this place 0 stars if I could, avoid at all costs!

Disappointing stay for the price We stayed here for several nights due to its proximity to Monarch Mountain, which is really the main benefit of this lodge. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not match the price. Check-in required calling someone via radio to come to the front desk, and we were given a physical room key. While I understand this is a more rural area, the room itself had several issues. There was no air circulation in the room. The heater did not work, and the bathroom fan was also nonfunctional. We were told to open the balcony door for airflow, which is not a realistic solution during winter conditions and the shared balcony. The bathroom floor appeared very dirty, and while we were told it was the “natural grout color,” it still looked unclean. The sink handle was broken, the ice machine was not working, and the electrical outlets were extremely loose. Maintenance later added a plug adapter to turn one outlet into four, but this did not actually resolve the underlying issue. Housekeeping only replaced towels and did not clean the room during the stay (which is noted in the description, but still worth mentioning for those expecting daily service). We ultimately left a day early. For a significantly lower price, this would have been more understandable, but at nearly $700 for four nights, the value just wasn’t there. The location is excellent, but the condition of the rooms and level of service need major improvement.

I spent approximately 10 minutes at the Monarch, enough to take in its darkness, age and eerie nature. The room was similar to a college dorm and the balcony is shared by all. While the front desk staff was very nice even they referred to it as having “character.” It felt like The Shining. The WIFI was very helpful as I booked a room several miles away.

When I first looked at the photo of the exterior , I was reminded of the hotel in ‘The Shining’ The desk clerk had the vibe of a stoned elderly hippy and had to call someone else to take my credit card info. The lovely views of the mountain were a plus. The 1970’s decor did distract from dingy towels, etc The construction has a wrap around balcony which can be entered from any room but definitely did not feel secure. The graffiti by the entrance is off putting I’m sure this is an affordable ski lodging base for groups of young people and families. On arrival and departure other putative guests stopped us to ask if the hotel ‘was okay’ … of course we knew why the gentleman who asked upon our arrival was asking after meeting the desk clerk. On departure, we answered by saying ‘we’re still alive’
