Used to be a Nice Place

This hotel has so much potential and was probably a wonderful place about 20-30 years ago. It is in much need of repairs. There were ceilings about to collapse due to water damage. It could use a good cleaning (dead flies in the window sills). I understand we were going into the "off-season" but the staff was a skeleton crew. They were however very nice.

The location is beautiful and the lodge has the ability to be an amazing place. However, there is no way to control the temperature in the room and it was extremely hot the entire stay. The bath did not drain for hours after use. The arcade was full of broken games that just took our money. The hot tubs are all broken aside from one, that was filthy and not even quite warm. Unfortunately, the property continues to decline and we will stay elsewhere next trip.

It is older style lodge with unique ambience. It lacks upgrades but the room was large, queen beds very comfortable, great heating and TV with HBO and other channels. The biggest advantage is very close distance to ski resort on Monarch slopes.

Cold and dark

This place is quirky and dark. Probably hasn’t been updated since the early 80s. Only one of the beds was comfortable to sleep in and had to cram into one. The heat was broken and it was 60 degrees the whole time in the room.

This place has gone downhill and that's saying a lot, because it was never great to start with. We've been staying here for many, many years because of the location to Monarch Mountain. This will be our last stay. The hot tub was dirty, and only 1 out of 3 was working. The one that was working had a low water level and would not get above 90 degrees. The 2 that were not working had trash and debris piled high in them. The shower had no hot water, so after a cold hot tub, that was a bummer to take a cold shower. There seems to be no staff anywhere, felt totally deserted on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Restaurant has insanely expensive menu items for the food that you get. Made sense that we were the only ones in that restaurant. A bummer to see how bad this place has become.

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
