Hotel MonteCarlo

This was for a one night stay after our visit to universal studios. The hotel is convenient to the highway and not difficult to find. I felt safe at the hotel, and the checkin process was quick. The person who checked us in was pleasant, and we felt welcomed. The room was fairly clean (I always worry about bugs). However, there was a horrible smell being masked by an air freshener in the window. The shower had black stuff on the wall where it had not been cleaned well, but I was exhausted after a day at the park, so I cleaned it off myself with soap. The caulking around the floor of the shower had black stuff on it, which was probably where the musty smell was coming from. You could also see light from around the door area, but I felt safe with a chain lock at the top of the door. The bed was not comfortable, and the hotel as a whole could probably use a little updating. The floor between the room and bathroom needs to be repaired, and the outlet on the bedside table had fallen inside and could not be used. The tv also didn’t work. It turned on, but there was no signal. There was a lot of noise from the hotel’s proximity to the road. It wasn’t a horrible stay, and the hotel is clean enough and safe enough for a last minute place to stay in a pinch and on a budget. It had mostly 10 star reviews, so that’s why we chose to stay there. I’d rate it more at a 6.5, a little better than average, but not the first place I’d choose to stay again.

Floor was ridiculously dirty. My girlfriend walked around barefoot on the floor for 5 minutes and feet were caked in dirt. There were fruit flies flying around the room constantly. The toilet made a whistling noise after use. There was a hole in the floor. Staff were not present around 6:15 am to check out and no one was in until 9. Decent amount of graffiti on the fence surrounding the area and looked far worse in person than the pictures. Not sure how/why it was rated so high.

This is like a hotel/motel it was clean, the bed was clean and comfortable, furniture outdated still clean. We had 2 refrigerators. Many places to visit around the hotel. I would stay here again.

The stay was good but lots of room for improvements on the inside of the room. It was comfortable but could see outside under the door. The sink faucet needs CLR to clean the spout. When we turn it on it sprayed everywhere. Shower was great. Bed was so so but had a descent night sleep.

Nice and clean

Was a great place for our one night stay

Clerk was very friendly amd help me het my luggare into the room.

Clean somewhat comfortable

Was quiet clean and affordable

Will stay again! Clean, solid wifi, updated furniture and bathroom. Food options within walking distance, but everything near the hotel is strip malls. You can also hear the traffic from the road. These are minor issues compared to the overall value.
