Monarch Mountain Lodge

My credit card was billed for more than the agreed amount. A 10% fee was charged to my credit card when reserved, but not credited on check out. The rooms have cinder block walls, very old beds with no mattress protector, and an old blood stain on the blanket. The odor is very musty and dirty throughout the hotel. We won’t be back.

Our stay at the MML was absolutely awesome, wonderful staff, fun grounds, breath taking views and cool 70s vibe. Clean and charming, can't recommend enough!!! Seriously, Cory and the rest of the staff were absolute gems!

The ice machines didn't really work. The microwave in my room didn't work that well as the plate wouldn't rotate. The gal at the front desk wasn't that friendly. The kitchen staff was very helpful though.

I've been going to Monarch Lodge with my family for years now and this was the worst I've ever seen it. Half the lights in the place were burnt out, no towels available at the pool or front desk, one hot tub broken and the other at 94 degrees. Their were only 2 people working the entire lodge and that's including the kitchen. I don't expect even a three star place for what you pay but this was sad and depressing. Will probably go a different route the next time we ski Monarch.

This was a simple place but at the same time so accomadating. The beds were comfortable. The linens were fresh The place was so tidy. We loved that it had a restaurant onsite.

Ice machine on our floor not working, nobody at front desk in morning, wall outlets need to be updated, everything was unplugged. Bathtub is small.

Excellent service! Thanks for making the accommodations fit out need ! Highly recommend this place.

We have stayed here several times. This is an older hotel and layout accordingly. Whoever owns it is not investing in any updates and is deferring some of the Maintenace. That being said, the location is great for skiing or seeing the colors and it is close to Salida. Staff is outstanding and the bed is very good, better than many high-end hotels we have stayed in.

Worst hotel I’ve ever experienced! My Son had a bike race a few hours from home so I tried to save some money and booked Monarch Mt Lodge. I came down with Covid and called a couple days before my reservation to cancel. They would not refund my money, so my wife kindly took my place. When they walked into the weird tiny lobby, they met a couple that had been waiting 50 min. without seeing a single employee. After another 20 min. They finally got their key. When they got to the room, they were surprised to be stopped by the maid who said, and I quote “you don’t want to go in their” total nightmare. By now, my kid was late for his race so he tried to change in the lobby bathroom. Granted, there was a cone blocking an open door, but when my son stepped in he saw what was feces water overflowing out of both toilets. Yuck! Naturally, they returned the key and ran for the door. Wife said it had a “dark vibe”. When I called to express our dissatisfaction, I was hung up on. Stay away!!!
