Interior Designer? Anyone?
by syl345
My boyfriend surprised me with an overnight stay for a romantic getaway here. Needles to say we checked out the soonest thing possible. The interior design of the rooms was hideous. Green and pink striped wallpaper by a yellow wall with a red chair, etc. It seriously gave me a headache. I understand what they were going for (a cool boutique hotel), but they missed it. The room was so tiny too! I would not recommend this place!
- Pros: Nice valet
- Cons: Interior design, room space

Choose another hotel...
by stephaniecampbell
My husband and I were looking for a nice hotel downtown for an extra special occassion and chose Hotel Monaco, because of the great pictures on their website and their proximity to the nightlife downtown. First of all, please understand that if you reserve anything but a suite you will be staying in a room roughly the size of a "closet". Our closet had threadbare carpeting with a supposedly king size bed (not so). We had also asked for an east facing room high enough to enjoy a view of the Wasatch mountains, but was given neither. Of course, being a closet with a bed it does not have room for any type of chair, so you are forced to sit on the bed your entire stay.
- Pros: Location
- Cons: Tiny rooms, threadbare carpeting, noisy plumbing

Return Guest (Again and Again)

The Hotel Monaco is my favorite close-to-home escape in Salt Lake City. My husband and I frequently stay there when we want to enjoy downtown dining and bar hopping. The decor at the Monaco is both elegant and quirky. The lobby features lovely large sofas and chairs with big cushions perfect for snuggling up and enjoying the complimentary wine reception held from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. nightly. Overall, the staff at the Monaco is friendly. I have to admit I have experienced some "attitude" in the past, but on my more recent visits, that seems to have been resolved. The rooms at the hotel and absolutely lovely. The average king rooms are far from average, featuring all sorts of comforting details and amenities. The bathrooms are all large, beautiful, and best of all, stocked with Aveda products. The beds are so comfortable that I never want to leave them, and always end up sleeping late. The mid-sized suites are lovely, featuring a spacious sitting room. The largest suites in the hotel are nothing short of incredible. They are corner rooms on the upper floors and therefore, feature amazing views of downtown. The suites include a large sitting area, a full "guest" bath, a full dining area, and a huge "master" bath with a fabulously deep jetted tub. When I stay in one of these suites, I never want to go home. The room service I have had at Hotel Monaco has been consistently average, but the restaurant, Bambara, is wonderful. I recommend the Hotel Monaco to anyone visiting Salt Lake City, and to any locals looking to escape the world for a while.
- Pros: Romantic. Aveda bath products. Wine social nightly.
- Cons: Occassional snob encountered.
