We stayed at the lodge a total of 6 nights. Older lodge but clean. Parking lot was full of snow and very, very dangerously icy. Through our entire stay snow removal was at a bare minimum. We had to almost crawl to our vehicle everyday just not to fall. Thank goodness we wore our snow boots. It was hard to find staff when tryinh to check in and the lobby was extremely cold to wait in. Waited for 20 minutes, never checked in just given a set of keys and then not explained how to not lock the room doorknob and got locked out of our room the next day. Seeing any sort of staff was very rare. Was only given clean towels and our trash taken out once out of our 6 night stay. I had to help myself to the staff linen closet to get us clean towels and toilet paper. I don't like that you have to pay extra to stay in a room with a refrigerator. Ice machines only worked on one floor. Pool was old but very clean and heated. Gym equipment was very old, disappointed there was no treadmill. Dogs barking randomly. A few days out of our stay we saw no one and got that movie "The Shining" feeling. Did not try the restaurant. Not even sure if it was really open. Did not see staff through some of our stay to even ask. I would feel comfortable staying here again but not for 6 nights and not during the cold months. Was surprisingly clean for how dated the lodge is. Having Directv in our room was a plus.

This place has never been renovated. Housekeeping every other day, even garbage was not removed from the room. Water in the shower was cold at pick hours. Hot tub outside is just too cold NOT HOT. The housekeepers stole our portable grill, they returned it.. but still I didn’t want to have this kind of experience. Best part is location. 5-10 min to the ski resort

The room we booked was listed to sleep 5. It only had 2 queen beds. No other bed. The staff was helpful and got us a roll away but the listing was wrong. Some of the listed amenities don’t work but good place for price.

Off Season Stay

Needed a location for three travelers, and we have stayed at the Monarch Mountain Lodge previously. The location is not modern but is a great stop over in the off season. The location says check in is between 3 pm and 11 pm but in two stays here, staff was not available until almost 4 pm. Rooms could use more power outlets. We were able to get a small dinner from the restaurant which was decent.

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
