Monumental Hotel Orlando in Orlando, FL

I found the facility and staff to be fine. This hotel is close to SeaWorld and International Drive. During my stay the hot tub was not working, the pool has sand at the bottom, the ac in room runs louder than average but very cold. The restaurant/bar was not open during the week. None of those issues were of major concern to me. Enjoyed sitting outside in evenings near pool which is a covered area. Never felt unsafe with walking in the area. Walked to 7 Eleven a few times at night with no issue. I would recommend this place as you could easily pay double for similar.

Yes, the hotel needs updating. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Everything was clean. Everyone was nice. We checked in at 4am and there was someone at the desk available without a wait. (Which in our experience is not the same at other hotels). The hotel did have a confusing entrance/parking situation that some more signs would definitely fix. But the vibe felt like it was it was a less expensive “Victorian-age Floridian” hotel.

Needs a thorough cleaning. Very dusty in the rooms and dirty elevator floors but definitely has potential. Great, comfy beds. The hotel Microwave needs cleaning. Housekeeping was prompt with towel requests. Beautiful pool. Just clean the hotel properly. Light fixtures and the back of bedside tables should not be covered in dust. I would return but with my own cleaning supplies.

Booked this for a girls weekend, the cost is what brought us there. Then we read the reviews from here after we booked. We were absolutely nervous, but here is an honest review. We stayed in room 433...IT'S NOT THAT BAD. At least our room wasn't. We got in around 11AM, they wouldn't let us check in early, so we hung by the pool. The pool was freezing cold, so we didn't go it, and they only have 6, very worn down, loungers. We were fortunate to get one every day. The pool and hot tub also seemed to have sand at the bottom. We did sit in the hot tub a couple of times, it was a little dirty. The hotel is absolutely dated, the staff seemed to be friendly. We didn't eat on site, our room appeared clean, including the bathroom. We would absolutely stay here again. Within walking distance was an iHop, a First Watch, Dunkin Donuts, 7-11, a burger place, a souvenir shop and some other shops/restaurants. about 2.5/3 miles down the road was an entertainment district with all sorts of bars and restaurants. You have to be realistic with what you expect with what you are paying. We found absolutely nothing gross about our say, no bugs, clean bathrooms, overall a decent stay.

Yes, it’s cheap, it’s cheap for a reason. Pool and hot tub are not as pictured, landscaping is terrible, the floors smell like rotten fish, everything in the room is breaking or is broken. lamps falling off the wall etc. Worst of all, the window wasn’t even installed flush, leaving an inch wide gap that the wind would absolutely howl through when it thunder-stormed. If you’re gonna stay here. expect a rough time.
