text: Planned a quick trip for my mother in laws birthday so we had to book a room fast. My mom has stayed at the Monte Carlo years ago and she loved it. So we decided to stay here since all the other hotels were booked. We get to the hotel and wanted to see if we could get the same floor to my sister in laws room since she as well was staying at the hotel. They told us that was possible but our room wouldn't be ready until FIVE PM.. Mind you it was ELEVEN AM. No way would we wait that long so we decided to just get another room in any floor. BIGGEST MISTAKE! The front desk told us we would get a strip view for the inconvenience on the 9th floor. We were excited to go check out the room and when we go in the view of the strip was non existen we had a wonderful view of the roof of the top of the casino.. 1 star down..\n\nI tried to be open minded and not let that bother me.. But then I go use the restroom and the door gets jammed! I yelled for my mother in law to go help me open it because I was literally stuck inside the bathroom. It took about 5 mins to finally be able to open it . She had to push the door open with her whole body..Another star down..\n\nWe go down to the pool to tan and relax for a bit. They do have a small pool and even smaller jacuzzi.  A lazy river. And a wave pool. We walked around and it was beyond crowded you had to search for any empty chairs. The water was so nasty and hazy . I didn't dare to even go into the pool!\n\nBathroom lighting is horrible and the toilet flushing is so loud.. So night time rolls around and it's time for us to shower and get ready so I let my mother in law shower first. When she's done showering she tells me I might have to wait to shower because the tub is full of water.. The drainage was so bad it took forever for the water to go down. So we ran late to dinner because of this . Minus another star.\n\nThe pillows are not comfortable at all! They are so hard I even had to sleep with no pillows since it was unbearable.  On the other side of my bed there was also a big wet stain. Of course I didn't realize it until I stepped on it with my bare feet. I will never know what that was..\n\nAt this point I wish yelp had an option to put zero stars.. I won't ever be staying here again. If everything wasn't so crammed in together I would've been able to complain but by then I just wanted to hurry up and self check out and never stay in this nightmare or a hotel again. If your running on a budget there are plenty of inexpensive hotels on the strip. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY STAYING HERE.
