Solo Scottsdale

Wasn’t planning on staying in a hotel on my solo trip as I was staying with a friend but it didn’t work out. I was able to get early check in, pool view, they were very accommodating and great customer service. The food in the restaurant was very good! Love how close it is to old town and all the shops

It’s not a 3***hotel, it’s more like a 2** glorified hotel. No elevators available, so get ready to carry your luggages on the stairs. Of course, there is no coffee available, so get ready to spend good money on that as well. The room was clean, but they forgot to take care of the balcony, which was filthy. The view is awesome though!

We love the location! It's and older hotel that has been remodeled for the most part. Right away our slider door came of the track, so we had to have that fixed and our toilet was still dirty from the previous guest. Our remote control to the tv was missing and our ac unit wasn't working very well.

If you have a family member in honorhealth Osborne Hospital it is very convenient. My room is depressing and dark with tiny furniture and a floor lamp that they hadn't even bothered to plug in. Not regular television just free TV and you have to put in your memberships to watch anything on any cable channel . No shampoo or body wash in the dispensers no glass to brush your teeth. Restaurant closes at 8:00 which is way too early for guests with people in a hospital

The pictures look nicer than reality. Very old and a bit rundown. A little bit better than a motel 6. The pool area looked pretty. I don’t not use the pool. It’s kinda a party hotel. It was quite in the hallways.

Loved the location of this hotel, but it is party central during the weekends! Very loud and crowded at the pool and loud room parties all night. Our AC unit was also extremely noisy. The lounge chairs at the pool were very uncomfortable and falling apart with no chairs at all at the “quiet pool”. Unless you’re headed to Scottsdale to party day and night, I would stay elsewhere.

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 The guest rooms were clean and functional, but a bit outdated.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.
