Place appears to be under a remodel, pool is inaccessible, elevator reeked of weed and it is filthy. Rooms are dated with mismatched furniture and pillow cases stuffed with sheets for pillows. Tiny fridge on floor where you literally have to crawl down onto floor to access the compartments in it. Tried to use coffee maker but it was inoperable and when I went to lobby and asked if they had complimentary coffee I was told NO. Place runs like a resort on a Motel 6 budget.

The staff were friendly, but the 1st room we were assigned was on the 3rd floor and the elevator wasn't working, so we had to return to reception and get a 1st floor room. The room didn't have any luggage racks, there was only 1 chair in the room. Then in the evening our toliet was plugged. They don't have phones in the room, so you have to call via your cell phone and the front desk didn't answer so we have to walk over and let them know about the toilet issue. Luckly there was a maintenance person on call and he was able to unplug the toilet. The small bar/restaurant left a lot to be desired. At least the Monarch is located in the center of Oldtown Scottsdale and there were wonderful restaurants to choose from.

The rooms thmselves are basic almost like a dorm room. The bed was comfortable. The small pool was too warm to go in, literally a bath. The big pool was at least cool enough to get in but after a few minutes not refreshing. The pool was a vibe tho. Great DJ and music not too loud, we just sat in the regular pool side loungers and they afre very uncomfortable, a metal bar across your lower and middle back. We heard there is going to be a complete reno and we will check back next year. They had a Sunday event where LOUD base music started thmping early Sun morn. You couldn't get away from it anywhere on the property-you've been warned!
