The Monarch is an affordable hotel located right in the heart of Oldtown. The main pool/hot tub area is lovely with lush greenery and a lively outdoor bar on site. The guest rooms were clean and functional, but a bit outdated. The wall mounted TV was very small & looked like a computer monitor. The outdoor balcony was a nice feature, but an awkward shape...not enough space for patio furniture (or even a chair to sit down). So guests can only stand up on the balcony to enjoy the view.

I am a solo female traveler and did not feel safe at this hotel, I am leaving this review for other women traveling alone. The listing of this property is misleading. It is a motel where the lobby is separated. The lobby and pool areas are nice and renovated, but the rooms and hallways are dated and frankly a little sketchy. Your room's front door opens to the outside/parking lot, literally anyone off the street could walk up to your front door. There are security bars to block the parking lots off, but they don't use them, so the parking lots are basically open to the public and anyone can walk around. During my short time there I saw several people lingering in the parking lot that didn't seem to be staying at the hotel. The night I checked in, I realized that my room's chain lock on the door was broken and essentially useless. I asked to be transferred to a new room, the second room's back sliding door did not lock at all. So two rooms both with broken locks, extremely concerning. The furniture is scuffed up and just not in great condition, and one of the three rooms I was placed in the tub was dirty and had chipping paint. I canceled the remainder of my stay the next morning and transferred to a different hotel. Main takeaway, I did not feel safe at this hotel at all.

While the hotel looks pretty cool in pictures, there are parts that are falling apart. Most notably, the pool chairs are unusable. It’s like laying on three metal bars. I tried wrapping towels around the chair but it was still painful to sit on them. In the room, the bathtub had paint chipping off.

The outdoor area, pool and hot tub are nice. The biggest perk of this hotel is the walkability to restaurants and downtown Scottsdale. Although they have tried to upgrade the rooms I still felt the pictures were better than the rooms felt. The room was dark and small. We upgraded to get a pool view room but our room had a view of a big tree that faced the pool & the balcony was to small and narrow to sit outside anyway. It was just 1 night so we managed but next time I would pay the extra bit to stay at a nicer hotel.
