Wife speaking- I went solo for one night and it was ok but I would not stay there again in the future. The quiet pool was nice for a swim and to read poolside. The party pool is nice if you are a yound 20 something year old and there to party. I did like there was separation. The rooms are older and they took minimalism literally when redecorating. Something just felt off. There were stay hairs in my bath tub and it looked grungy so I did not shower. This is not hotels fault but someone apparently left their toddler alone and around 9pm I had police banging on my door as they were looking for thr parents. Staying alone, this was very unsettling. I ended up not sleeping very well. Disappointing because the pillows and bed were actually very comfy. Overall I just feel like ive had a better experience at other hotels and would not recommend this one personally. Also, may be location of my room in particular but I heard every emergency siren that drove by. Very noisy.

Great location and very convenient to walk around town. Nice pool, comfortable bed and spacious room. The shower temperature was very cold until we finally found the right spot to put the handle to get hot water, and it was in the cold spot lol

The hotel was okay, its was not well cared for, the towels were stained, the bathroom door was missing parts and did not stay closed. The area around offered lots of food options and shopping. The pool area was nice and the gym looked well kept.

Our room was nice, nothing really fancy. Could use alittle updating in the bathroom but all and all was a nice place. Close to old town which was great for walking there and the pool party over the weekend was awesome. Some of the staff like Tony and Jordan were the best. Our room didn't have a microwave in it but Tony hooked us up by reheating some leftovers for us.

The Hotel was amazing, and so was the staff. The only problem I had was the upkeep of the “quiet” pool area. It wasn’t as well maintained as the other pool party area. There was a dead baby bird, and towels left from days before. Housekeeping should make sure that area is well maintained daily. Other than that. The stay was great.

Worse hotel I’ve stayed in.

The room was filthy. The mattress was far beyond worn out. The so called handicap accessible bath had very slick tile throughout. The water from the shower ran freely across the floor. It is very unsafe. The holder for the shower head is broken.

The pictures of the hotel property and pool on the Monarch’s website are misleading. While the staff were friendly and the pool was refreshing and clean, the entire property (including the pool area) is in need of renovation. The room I was assigned to was clean yet pretty broke-down- like a room I would expect in a budget 1-2 star motel. Worn down furniture with scratches; a small streaming tv that you can only use if you enter your Netflix/amazon account info; poorly painted over doors; and an in the wall air conditioner that struggled to cool the room at night. The “old town” Scottsdale area nearby is convenient, but kind of wack unless you are into buying “authentic” souvenirs and what not. My expectations were probably too high, as I had hoped for a nice lounging by the pool before retiring to my updated room experience. In all fairness, the room rate was cheap and if you just want a cheap motel with a nice (but in need of basic renovations) pool area for a day, then this will fit the bill.
