Liked: Cleanliness
Clean and extremely nice staff. Very comfortable place and warm atmosphere.
Bar/restaurant was closed for renovations but that was totally fine because so many awesome places to go that are walkable.
Staff was so friendly and we felt well cared for. The fireplace and communal spots were a nice way to unwind and meet others that were traveling.
Beautiful and unique historic site. Warm and authentic vibe. Friendlly staff. Look forward to returning when the on-site dining option is back up and running.
We had a very pleasant experience staying at the Monte Vista. The staff was friendly and helpful. The environment was clean and comfortable. Shops and dining was in walking distance. We plan on another visit in the very near future!
Room was good but no TV. That didn’t bother us. It is an old hotel so don’t expect modern stuff. It was clean, they were nice and it is in a great location. 4/5. We were satisfied
Love the location, the old building, staff were great and helped with any thing I wanted or wanted to know about the area. I have stayed there before and will again.

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed 2 years ago and had a great experience. Unfortunately the restaurant is closed. There’s no breakfast offered, and the answer was “we don’t know why.” They’re supposedly getting ready for renovations, but it’s just disappointing that it’s just as expensive to stay with the amenities gone. Room was clean, area was clean and open but ready for renovations. I hope they do renovate and open the restaurant, it was awesome.
This place is a GEM. The staff was so friendly. The rooms are super cute and historic. Everything is within walking distance and you can't beat the view of mountains in the background. Their restaurant was closed as they are getting ready to renovate the entire property. Nice little bar with anything you want really. The front and back porches are so nice to sit and enjoy a cool evening. We will for sure be back after the renovations!
Exceptionally clean and well maintained for an old hotel. It was quiet, and close to the town- we walked to dinner and breakfast. Would definitely stay again!
