Lost some of the charm

I don't know if it because of new ownership and transition, but my wife and I were commenting that it seems like the soul is gone from the Monte Vista. I officiated a wedding there several years ago and it seems like a lot of the charm of the facility is missing. That charm is the main reason I booked there. I hope that it comes back.

First for the positive: the young man who checked us in was pleasant and knowledgeable of the town and possible restaurants during our stay. The young woman cleaning was delightful and friendly. Check in was easy. The not so good: my mistake for not calling to confirm whether there were rooms on the first floor as I had just had knee surgery. There are not, and there is no elevator. This want a deal breaker… I can do steps one at a time. The room appears to be recently renovated, however, the bed squeaked each time one of us moved, and the floor squeaked. The blinds in the bathroom didn’t fit the space. And lastly, the most concerning: the man who. He ked us in stressed that he left at 10pm, and the front door would be locked at 11pm, accessible only with a code, which he provided. As the motel appeared to have only two staff people there, I asked if someone would be there overnight. His reply: “Not tonight”. I do not believe that the hotel had any staff on duty… which my husband and I found slightly disconcerting. There was a phone number provided in case of any problems… but that left us a little unsettled. I am hoping upper management will address this review so that others can book with the assurance that there is some staff on duty every night. Do note that the restaurant and bar are closed for renovations.

We stayed 2 years ago and had a great experience. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed. There’s no breakfast offered, and the answer was “we don’t know why.” They’re supposedly getting ready for renovations, but it’s just disappointing that it’s just as expensive to stay with the amenities gone. Room was clean, area was clean and open but ready for renovations. I hope they do renovate and open the restaurant, it was awesome.

If you want everything perfect go to super 8 but this place is awesome! Nice clean room, friendly staff, and beautiful property. You’ll get squeaky floors and no tv in your room. But you’ll get something away from the typical. Support local in this great little mountain town and enjoy a night without the tv blaring.
