Location was convenient for where we were staying. We had been backpacking all week and wanted a place to stay that could allow for a bit of relaxation before we drove home. We specifically picked this place since it was further from a populated town and had a restaurant of it's own. We had not planned to leave while we were there. However, the menu they had on the website did not come close to matching what was in the restaurant. (when we inquired about this we were laughed at and told their menu online hadn't been updated in years) At this point it meant we were either eating our leftover trail food or going out to eat for every meal and having to drive in town. This was not the experience we had expected, and being laughed at for expecting the website to have updated information on the hotel was not appreciated or professional in any way. The room was clean, I don't care it was outdated, we just wanted a place to sleep after being in the cold all week. Sleep did not happen as we had a baby next door that screamed all night both nights and the hotel has very poor insulation between rooms. (We could hear in detail what they were doing in the bathroom and normal conversations on top of the all night long screaming) No windows and balcony french doors couldn't be left with the curtains open because we had people staring in at us from outside the door since the balcony is open to everyone on that side of the hotel without any partition. Which added to noise and lack of privacy

I received this in an email right after I booked the hotel: This notice is confirmation of your booking for Monarch Mountain Lodge. We can't wait to see you on …. This is also notification we have completed the charge for your 10% booking fee(s). Please note this is not an extra fee. Your balance is due upon arrival. You will be asked to submit your ID and payment card when you arrive. I was NEVER told about this fee before booking!! The hotel also had NO hot water that weekend. We stayed 2 nights. I gave them the benefit of doubt that it would be fixed by Saturday late afternoon. We asked them Saturday evening if it was fixed. Front desk said it was. It was not. When we checked out, they said they would give 50% back for not having hot water. We received nothing. Not professional. They knew they didn’t have the part before we checked in. This hotel was already on my 1 and done after the extra fee. Now it’s never to go back. Good thing the no hot water issue was In the summer. Too bad really, we have monarch season passes.

They should just tear it down and start over. I used to come here as a kid skiing over 20 yrs ago and the hotel hasn’t changed whatsoever. It’s the exact same after all these years. The area around is beautiful but hotel is older than sin. It’s embarrassing that this is the best thing we have close to the pass.

The property smelled musty and like urine. The hot tub was dirty and not at all hot. We didn't even trust going to the restaurant because everything else was in such poor condition. No one around to help out when we ran out of toilet paper had to use the tissues.
