Guest Reviews
Location
Rooms
However, there were consistent complaints about room readiness with some guests finding their rooms not prepared upon check-in. Size-wise, some rooms were reported to be smaller than advertised and insufficient for the price paid. There were also mentions of cleanliness issues in certain rooms with reports of dust, bad odors, dirty linens and more severe problems like mold and leakage. Additionally, maintenance seems to be an area needing improvement with mentions of non-working appliances, missing essentials like hair dryers and outdated bathroom fixtures.
In summary, while many guests found their rooms to be satisfactory, clean and comfortable, there were notable inconsistencies in room size, cleanliness and maintenance that future guests should be aware of.
Beds
However, a significant number of reviews mention that the beds were uncomfortable, hard and outdated. Several guests found the mattresses old, noisy and in desperate need of replacement. There were also complaints about dirty sheets, broken mattresses and pillows with hair. Some guests were particularly unhappy with the condition of sofa beds and beds pushed up against walls.
Overall, while a portion of the guests found the beds to be quite comfortable, there's a notable consensus that many beds require updating and better maintenance to improve guests' sleeping experiences.
Cleanliness
However, there are significant concerns that cannot be ignored. Some guests encountered dirty conditions, such as stained linens, smudges on walls and unpleasant odors. Several reviews pointed out that bathrooms, floors and pools were in desperate need of more thorough cleaning. Issues with housekeeping services were also noted, including instances where rooms were not cleaned daily or properly, leading to an accumulation of dirt and unpleasant smells.
While guests found the staff generally willing to help, the inconsistencies in cleanliness levels—ranging from spotless rooms to shockingly filthy ones—suggest that the hotel could strive for more consistent maintenance and housekeeping practices. Overall, while the hotel has its clean and comfortable moments, recurring issues with cleanliness might be a concern for some travelers.
Staff
Guests often remarked on the overall pleasant atmosphere created by the staff, contributing to a welcoming environment. In contrast, there were some reports of staff members being inattentive or even rude, particularly during instances involving housekeeping or maintenance issues. A few reviewers pointed out specific incidents where staff behavior was less than professional, including arguments at check-out and unresponsiveness to service requests.
Despite these occasional lapses, the general consensus from the majority of the reviews is that the staff at Hotel Monte Carlo Ocean City are friendly, responsive and committed to providing good service. The positive interactions with the front desk and other personnel seemed to make a lasting impression on many guests, creating a hospitable backdrop to their stay at the hotel.
Wi-Fi
Pool
However, reviews indicate mixed experiences with cleanliness and temperature. While some guests found the pools, notably the rooftop one, clean and well-maintained, others reported issues with dirty water, sand and even hair in the outdoor pool. The indoor pool, although liked for its availability, was often described as small and sometimes cold or dirty. There were also comments about the pools closing relatively early at 9 PM, which may not suit late-night swimmers.
Overall, while the pool facilities provided a range of options and the rooftop experience received high praise, consistency in maintenance and cleanliness appeared to be an area needing improvement according to guest feedback.
Beach
Parking
There are two main parking lots for the hotel with one located across the street and another a block away, which some found inconvenient. The off-site parking often requires a walk back to the hotel and this distance seemed less ideal, particularly for those carrying luggage or traveling with children. Despite this, the parking is reserved for hotel guests, which ensures that spaces are available, albeit tight.
An important consideration is the additional cost for parking. Guests need to pay for reserved parking spots, which may not have been explicitly clear beforehand. Given the extra expense, the value of the parking facilities was questioned by some reviewers. In summary, while the hotel offers parking, the limited and compact nature of the spaces, coupled with the extra cost, makes it less than ideal for those traveling by car, especially larger ones.
Nightlife
However, some guests were disappointed with the rooftop bar, which often failed to meet expectations. Several reviewers pointed out it didn't align with pictures or advertisements, offering only basic beers and sometimes lacking popular options like frozen or mixed drinks. Additionally, the bar's inconsistent operating days were noted with it only being open for one out of four days during some stays.
Despite these drawbacks, the rooftop area remains a highlight for its entertainment value and potential for enjoyable evenings.
3 Star
However, the hotel does have its drawbacks. Some facilities are dated and certain services like maid service and complimentary breakfast are unavailable. Additionally, several reviews mention extra charges, such as a high resort fee and a refundable deposit that was not always returned promptly. The hotel is generally perceived as offering a three-star level of quality with some guests feeling it is slightly overpriced for the services provided. Despite these concerns, the clean and updated rooms, along with the advantageous location, make it a reasonable choice for many travelers.
Rooms with Jacuzzi / Hot-Tub
Rooftop Pool
However, some guests noted several downsides. The pool's small size (approximately 18x24 and only 3 feet deep) did not meet the expectations set by online photos. Cleanliness was another concern with reports of dirty water, hair, dirt and a greasy film in the pool. Additionally, the water temperature was often too cold for comfort. Some visitors found the rooftop amenities, including the bar, were not open as advertised and the bar's selection was limited.
Overall, the rooftop pool at Hotel Monte Carlo Ocean City offered a visually appealing and potentially enjoyable experience, but inconsistencies in maintenance and operation left some guests disappointed.
