Hotel Monte Vista is a charming spot with character and history, making it a unique choice for travelers. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. However, the noise from the bar can be an issue for light sleepers, and the recent changes in staff at the bar may have impacted the overall experience for some guests.

The Monty V is a charming hotel with a prime downtown location, perfect for exploring the area. While our stay was decent, it fell short due to many amenities being closed and a few room quirks. The historic ambiance and clean comforts were nice, but the lack of open facilities and smaller bathroom detracted from our experience a bit.

The Hotel Monte Vista has a lot of charm with its historic feel and a great location in downtown Flagstaff, just a stroll away from restaurants and bars. My room was clean and spacious, but the bathroom was quite tiny, which could be a challenge for taller guests. The staff were wonderful and accommodating, making the experience enjoyable. The reasonable rates also add to its appeal, but being a historic hotel, some aspects may feel outdated to some guests.

I recently stayed at a historic hotel that definitely had its quirks! While it was unique and filled with charm from the 1920s, we encountered a few issues like no hot water at times and unreliable Wi-Fi. The cocktails at the bar were delightful, and the cozy beds made for a decent stay overall. I’d say it’s worth it for the experience, but some aspects were a bit lacking.

I have to say, my stay at Monte V was a mixed bag. I absolutely loved the historic charm and unique decor, especially having stayed here multiple times over the years. The location is stellar for exploring downtown Flagstaff, making it easy to find great dining and bars. However, my experience was marred by significant noise from the bar below, particularly on the second floor, which kept me up at night. There's definitely potential here, but some essential updates and cleanliness improvements are needed.
