The Monte Vista is a very interesting historic hotel. The rooms, though, are a little worn around the edges and could use a little updating. The bed was a bit uncomfortable. The carpet was worn, and the room was cold. The heater didn’t work very good. But it was still super fun to stay there because of the location. There is a very fun, lively bar on the first level called The Rendezvous. There are also other fun bars/restaurants in the immediate vicinity. It is a great location!

I chose this hotel because it's nearly 100 years old and has a charm and character that modern hotels lack. My friend and I stayed in the Queen Suite which had a stellar view of downtown Flagstaff and two comfortable queen-size beds. The girl at the desk was very helpful when we checked in, and apologized for the lack of parking available for hotel guests (there are roughly 20 designated spots...if you park on the street this time of year be sure to move your vehicle before 3am, otherwise there is a public garage available which costs $35/day). The hotel has two wonderful bars that serve cocktails and incredible coffee drinks. One of the bars had a great live band performing that evening. The location is optimal - right in the middle of downtown Flagstaff. There are dozens and dozens of great restaurants, shops, and cafes within walking distance. The room was cozy and spacious and dated - but that's entirely the point of staying here. The television is a bit on the smaller side if you intend to watch sports, bit luckily there are many great places to watch a game in any direction. We really enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Monte Vista, and we would definitely stay here again.

We booked a hotel to get a decent night sleep with plans to get up early for skiiing. The live music playing that started at 9 and ended well after midnight was completely unexpected and kept everyone awake. If you would like to sleep while staying at this hotel, I highly recommend checking the venue schedule before booking, Beds are creaky and walls are paper thin. I can see the charm of a historic hotel but duct tape on the stairs carpet and outlets that you can’t plug anything into is not a good look.

This is now the second time that I've stayed here that I had to pay $40 to park overnight because their parking lot is not big enough to accommodate it's guests. I understand it was a Friday night, and the area was busy, and both bars at the property were busy. I saw numerous cars in the small parking lot that are supposedly monitored without parking passes on their dashes. Love the charm of the property, and i'd stay here again, but the parking situation should really be addressed.

It was “fine.” Dated, for sure, but the lean into it as though it is charming. Bathroom was a tiny space with a toilet and very narrow shower with an offset shower head and very low water pressure. The sink is near the bed. Someone had unplugged all of the lamps in the room so I had to use my phone as a flashlight to have any light in the room. The WiFi wouldn’t connect or wasn’t working.
On the other hand, the rendezvous bar off the lobby made a decent drink and the staff was nice. Info online said it was own until 1a, the front desk said midnight.
There are no resources for food, water, etc. other than vending machines, so we were happy to have the bar as we got in late and everything else was closed.

Definitely an old hotel that has seen better days. Heat in the room was weak. No coffee in the room. Soft beds. The door to our room kept jamming.

I had such high hopes for this hotel and I was incredibly let down. Everything was fine until the night shift front desk lady took over. I called her asking for help with parking, and on a 30 second phone call she told me to “just drive home” (I live 3 hours away, we are on vacation) “Find another hotel then” (when I asked if I would be refunded if we switch hotels she said “no but you can just leave”), and when I asked what her name was she yelled “WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME!!!” And HUNG UP!! There was an event in downtown flagstaff, I understand that’s out of their control, but the absolute lack of costumer service is astounding. Also, there’s no room service like they advertise. The restaurant they partner with said they don’t do room service, even though everything says they do. To put our parking situation into perspective, we had to drive around for 45 minutes looking for an open spot. And then go move our car at 10pm, 11:30pm, 1:30AM, 2:30AM, and 5AM. I had to have a police officer help me find parking, and he was astounded when I told him my situation. He said “wait, the hotel isn’t helping you at all? That doesn’t sound right”. And it’s not right. I’m still waiting to hear back from a manager. Also- while talking with hotels.com in the middle of the night they called the front desk and she told them I’m lying about everything. That’s why you take pictures!! I’ll attach them. Oh- and only one lightbulb worked in our room.

Wifi didn't work and the front desk said we were lying until we showed them a video of it. They then said they couldn't fix it. We had work to do so had to leave and find another hotel last minute. Called next day asking for a refund and the manager said they never give refunds no matter what happens and that my only option was to take them to court.

Rooms were hot with very small window A/C units. One unit was broken and we had to use a portable unit. Very sub-par for the cost

Our train was >5 hrs late so we got in at 1:15am. Check in was quick and easy. Terrific shower in the morning. Before 11:00 am checkout we did a laundry in the hotel.
Very helpful and friendly staff.
We'll happily be back next week.
