Pet friendly Hotels in Monticello, Iowa

"The room was clean and quiet. Parking area is really laid out well and location to shopping and restaurants is good. "

"Did not eat breakfast"

"I checked in as a solo female traveler visiting family in the area. Upon arrival, there was a large group of men gathered in the lobby. During check-in, the front desk staff announced my room number out loud while handing me my key. This is a basic safety practice most hotels follow, and failing to do so shows a lack of awareness or training when it comes to guest security—especially for those traveling alone. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only issue. The secondary interior lock (swing bar latch) was completely broken off, leaving no added security beyond the deadbolt. The room was also noticeably run down and poorly maintained. The shower had deteriorating, missing caulking, and the closet had an exposed opening where I could see directly into the plumbing and backside of the shower. To add to the frustration, I was disappointed with pool policy. My sister, brother-in-law and their children (ages 2, 9,11) stopped by to play in the pool for 1 hour before dinner. Neither my sister nor I swam, but I was charged $40 for the kids and BIL. They are a local family who have used the hotel’s community room for events and visited other visiting guests at this hotel, guests who never had to pay an additional charge for the pool. It feels like a blatant money grab rather than a reasonable or fair rule. Where does the $10 per person go? Not maintenance! Between safety concerns, poor maintenance, and questionable policies, this stay was disappointing. Would not recommend. "

"Stayed here recently and had a decent overall experience. The hotel was clean, which is always a top priority for me, and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. Check-in was smooth, and the common areas were generally well-kept. That said, the property is clearly showing its age. The rooms and facilities could really use some updates; things like worn furniture, dated decor, and minor maintenance issues (loose fixtures, weak water pressure, older appliances) stood out. Nothing was deal-breaking, but enough to notice and take away from the overall comfort. Breakfast was also pretty lackluster—limited options and not much in terms of quality, which was a bit disappointing and didn’t add much value to the stay. With some renovations and attention to repairs, this place could easily be a much stronger option. For now: decent location, clean and serviceable, but not quite up to modern expectations…while charging modern prices. "

"Breakfast was good-they had a mini waffle maker! I have never seen one of those in a hotel before! We made waffles everyday! The pool was nice-small but that was good for us. The staff were awesome-very helpful and friendly and patient with my grandma! "

"Staff was great, room was clean, and beds were comfy!"

"We only had 2 hiccups - it was set-back, behind anothe business which made it difficult to locate & carrying the big, heavy suitcases up/down the stairs to our room. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay. Would stay again, gladly!"

"Clean room and nice staff"

"Breakfast was good. There were multiple choices including waffles eggs, sausage, and biscuits and gravy. The room was clean and the shower was good. The staff was friendly. This was a great hotel to stay for a night while traveling."
