Guests say
Guests have pointed out several issues with this hotel, including its location in a dangerous and undesirable area, which was frequently cited as a major concern. Many reviews mention the presence of homeless individuals nearby and safety issues, notably at night. Although the staff received praise for being helpful and friendly, there were many negative comments regarding cleanliness, with reports of mold in bathrooms and overall dirty conditions. Additionally, noise levels were frequently mentioned, with guests disturbed by outside sounds and noisy housekeeping. While some guests appreciated the good price and certain amenities, the negatives seem to overshadow the positives.

Pros (+) Waking distance to a decent coffee shop and a bar
Cons (-) Smelled like cigarettes in the lobby and chemicals in the room. Run down rooms. Didn't look clean.

Pros (+) No bed bugs at least
Cons (-) The staff at the Monarch were not helpful in the least.

Cons (-) Rooms very small, expensive parking. Being pregnant it freaked me out seeing their big sign as you check in about their building having some prop and may cause birth defects, has an odd smell to it. Maybe old. But I would prefer my super 8 that I stayed I night before

Pros (+) Cute and comfortable! Loved the decor, thw rooms were cute, the bathtub was wonderful (i took a long bath) and the bed was clean and comfy. Easy walking distance to some yummy restaurants.
Cons (-) My only complaint would be that when i went to check in, the staff at the front desk didn't show up for a good ten minutes. when they finally did show up they were rude- wouldn't make eye contact, didn't say hello...I'm not sure what his deal was but it was a weird interaction. but other than that one issue the hotel was a lovely stay.
