Monte Carlo Inn – Toronto West

This place is a total DUMP! WOW!
I booked it on priceline for caribana weekend. Trying to save money it seemed like a good deal. Where do I start?
When I went to check in this man at the counter didn’t even look up at me or greet me. He just said «last name?» I told him and he said «You do not have a reservation here» I said, «Yes I do. I paid for it.» and he insisted I didn’t and argued with me. Then I showed him my reservation email and he casually said «Oh. Ok.» and checked us in. WOW. What horrible, horrible service.
Our room smelled like OLD MEN. Just disgusting. The funky odor was so overpowering the whole time. We were horrified.
The toilet was filthy! They did not clean it. There were marks all over the toilet seat, we had to clean it thankfully we brought Clorox wipes. The room is small. It has a fridge and a microwave but NO iron? What the hell?
The worst part? The BED. OH MY GOD. So uncomfortable. It was hard as a rock and totally uneven. You would sink into the middle of it. It totally made my back hurt after only 2 nights.
Also there is very limited parking. It fills up fast and the people who park in the spots can’t park and take up two spots.
Another thing that really pissed me off was the noise. The first morning we woke up with a REALLY loud drilling noise that went on for an hour. Why would they do construction on a Saturday morning the weekend of the biggest event of the entire year for Toronto? Not only that, but people SCREAMING in the hallways woke us up the next morning. Slamming doors too. We were exhausted.
The only good thing I can say is another man who worked there was nice enough to let us check out later since we were woken up so early from the noise and couldn’t sleep. Oh and they had Wifi. Woopdy doo.
The location is about 25 minutes from downtown Toronto. Not bad but not the greatest neighborhood or area to stay in. Much better off spending a little more and going somewhere halfway decent. This place was a nightmare.

As soon as we arrived I had an eary feeling about the place. Then we smelled something funky when we walked by one of the rooms. About one hour later, my fears were confirmed and I counted 8 Police officers in the parking lot searching one of the guests vehicles. The man at the front desk was not very friendly. The rooms are very small. No coffee in the room. The place could use a fresh coat of paint on the walls, but the room was clean. Free WiFi and free parking was nice. Saw a couple getting «frisky» in a vehicle when i walked by! Unfortunately the pros don’t out weigh the cons. I would not come back and I won’t recomend the place to anyone.
