Off Season Stay
Needed a location for three travelers, and we have stayed at the Monarch Mountain Lodge previously. The location is not modern but is a great stop over in the off season. The location says check in is between 3 pm and 11 pm but in two stays here, staff was not available until almost 4 pm. Rooms could use more power outlets. We were able to get a small dinner from the restaurant which was decent.

I received this in an email right after I booked the hotel:
This notice is confirmation of your booking for Monarch Mountain Lodge. We can't wait to see you on …. This is also notification we have completed the charge for your 10% booking fee(s). Please note this is not an extra fee. Your balance is due upon arrival. You will be asked to submit your ID and payment card when you arrive.
I was NEVER told about this fee before booking!!
The hotel also had NO hot water that weekend. We stayed 2 nights. I gave them the benefit of doubt that it would be fixed by Saturday late afternoon. We asked them Saturday evening if it was fixed. Front desk said it was. It was not. When we checked out, they said they would give 50% back for not having hot water. We received nothing. Not professional. They knew they didn’t have the part before we checked in.
This hotel was already on my 1 and done after the extra fee. Now it’s never to go back.
Good thing the no hot water issue was In the summer.
Too bad really, we have monarch season passes.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Monarch Mountain Lodge! They have such a friendly and helpful staff, as well as some of the most delicious pizza I've had in Colorado. Filled with rustic charm and in such a beautiful location - we will absolutely be back!

They should just tear it down and start over. I used to come here as a kid skiing over 20 yrs ago and the hotel hasn’t changed whatsoever. It’s the exact same after all these years. The area around is beautiful but hotel is older than sin. It’s embarrassing that this is the best thing we have close to the pass.

I absolutely loved my stay here! The view was amazing, and wonderful service. Food was great! The hotel is older, and has so much character. A breath of fresh air from the newer, busy hotels. I will be back to visit again soon!

When we opened our room window you could hear the small creek running behind the property. From our room we could also watch the hummingbirds at the feeder.
