8 Best hotels with a view in Monticello, MN (2022)

I was told when I booked a block of rooms that I wouldn’t have to give a guess of estimated room rentals We were told that it would be “first come first serve” I was very disappointed to learn that my block was capped at 15 rooms

I was expecting many out of town guests of my 250 wedding guests I had to reach out to other hotels in a different area to accommodate more guests and therefore increase shuttle services Knowing my block was capped at 15 rooms would have been helpful to know at the time of booking so I could plan accordingly My room also smelled like smoke It was in the pillows and bed… gross

TLDR if you don’t HAVE to stay in Elk River, stay somewhere elseWe made it through the night but this is the second worst hotel I’ve stayed at I’m not a neat freak but the room was obviously dirty, without really looking, hairs on the walls and shower curtain, gunk and dirt on the desk chair, the bed was awful, and there was a lot of room noise through the wall

It was also generally a very dingey place, particularly for the price Finally, we went for breakfast and it looked really minimal and mediocre, the only thing we wanted was a glass of water because the room sink was kind of gross, and the water in the juice machine was broken, no bottled water available Unreal

We came down for a funeral and usually stay in Maple Grove but it was booked up due to a sports tournament so we opted to go North to Elk River, have had good luck with Country Inn and Suites in the past We were happy they gave us a “funeral rate” which was still WAY TOO MUCH for the room we received We reserverd the family suite

When we got there the room was too warm, air conditioner unit was in the back bedroom and would only go as low as 68 which didn’t ever get cool enough The air in the bedroom was ok, but it didn’t reach the rest of the living room where the bunk beds were There was a ceiling fan that whacks kids heads on the bunk bed so we couldn’t use it, would get hit while climbing ladder too There was a fan on the wall between the bedroom and living room but it didn’t work and there was no switch for it Could hardly sleep due to hot, stuffy air TV didn’t work AT ALL, cable was unplugged (so this was an issue with previous guest), worked on it for about 45 minutes trying to trouble shoot it myself, front desk just said, “sorry about that, we don’t have maintainance here” No replacement TV The bathroom was outdated and the sink and tub hardly drained so water filled up in both Sink water blasted out so hard it splattered all over and there was no bathroom fan Went to pool, no towels-we had to ask and they did bring a small pile of towels, but no basket or shelf for them even, they put them on a chair and walked away Needless to say, we will not be staying here again and will not ever stay at another Country Inn and Suites due to this experience In the morning while checking out the gal at the desk asked me how my stay was and I told her all of that and she just said, oh, I’m sorry to hear that Didn’t offer a discount or a credit towards another stay, nothing When we are on a getaway we like to watch tv late and was shocked they didn’t have a spare ALSO, when I told the girl about the fan not working in between rooms she didn’t even know what I was talking about, said she had never been in the family suites before so wasn’t familiar with that I DO NOT recommend staying here Go to Maple Grove or Plymouth, anywhere but here
