My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While I appreciated the good dining options with tasty food, the overall cleanliness and management left much to be desired. I also found the location somewhat appealing, being near outdoor activities. However, issues with mice, inconsistent hot water, and emergency alarms without proper management tarnished the experience significantly.

The hotel is in a secluded area with beautiful landscaping, but it has some serious shortcomings. The staff is somewhat helpful, but they struggle with management and organization, which detracts from the experience. The rooms need quite a bit of work and cleanliness isn't up to par. Overall, while the location is nice and there's potential, the hotel needs significant improvement to be truly enjoyable.

Our stay at the lodge had its ups and downs. The location was stunning, providing a beautiful setting for outdoor activities like hiking. While the rooms were comfortable, the service experience was quite disheartening, particularly at the restaurant where we faced long waits and confusion. Overall, the hotel shows potential, but they need to address staff training to improve guest satisfaction.

The Monarch Mountain Lodge is in a great location for outdoor enthusiasts, especially with its proximity to trailheads. However, our experience was marred by outdated facilities and serious issues with bear safety, which left us feeling quite uneasy. Though there are beautiful views and a charming ambiance, the overall condition of the lodge detracted from our enjoyment, and we'll likely look elsewhere next time.
