Not the best, but not the worst experience when it comes to hotels. On the positive side, the beds were comfortable, the rooms were quiet, the shower was hot, and the staff was friendly. We stayed on a non-smoking floor, which was a big bonus. I hate the smell of lingering smoke. The location isn't too bad if you plan on visiting multiple casinos since there are many within a short walk. They also have a free tram that will take you up to the Bellagio. The pub located in the Monte Carlo is amazing, There is an excellent selection of beer and good food.\n\nHowever, this place is in high need of improvements. The rooms seem rather old. The wall paper was peeling off the wall in multiple places. The bath towels also have this strange burned odor to them. On an odder note, the toilet flush is a bit disturbing. It's hard to explain, but I could imagine a small child being sucked down it. I was also surprised that there was no type of mini-fridge in the room.\n\nThe pool area is set up very strangely. They place the lounge chairs directly on top of each other, so you are elbow to elbow with the people next to you which makes adjusting the chair awkward and not very relaxing. They allow you to bring no water with you, so you must purchase anything you eat or drink at the pool area. I guess they don't mind guests being dehydrated. One lady next to me at the pool area said they wouldn't even let her bring in Starbursts that were in the bottom of her bag. This seems a bit extreme.\n\nThey also charge a $15 resort fee per day. I was surprised to find there was no wifi in the rooms. One of the two Starbucks at the hotel does have wifi, thought. There is an Ethernet cord in the room. The resort fee does include the fitness center, which I did not get a chance to visit. \n\nI have stayed at a couple different places on the strip, and this is probably the least nicest of them. I am not sure I would pick this hotel to stay again. It seems like a more suitable place to stay for the college aged looking for a place to crash after drinking for the night.
