Montvale Hotel

Nice style, nice staff, clean rooms Wont go back. Beds horrible. Couldnt sleep. Could hear neighbor room like there wasnt a wall there. Loud sex at 2 in the morning. No sleep and not rested

When we were looking for somewhere to stay Montvale seemed great because it is located right in the middle of downtown, just a walking distance from everything. It seemed great. When we got there however we found the site we reserved the hotel through wasn't as truthful as we thought. There was no hotel parking so we drove around for 20 minutes trying to find somewhere to park, there was a $30 fee we were not informed of in case of damages that I haven't even received back, and if you are under 21 you have to have someone at least 21 staying with you which the site did not say either. All these things could've cause my trip to Spokane to go very badly if I hadn't conveniently been able to work around them. Also when we FINALLY found a spot and went inside the lobby there was no one at the desk. We waited for a good 10 minutes and no one showed up, it was only about 10:30 pm when we arrived. I finally used the phone and called the number on the desk they left and no one answered until the second time I called. After another 10 minutes we received our room keys and went inside. I was exhausted from driving for 8 hours and immediately went into the bathroom to take a bath. In the bathtub there were about 5 hairs. Of different colors and lengths that were not mine. It grossed me out so much I just went to sleep instead. All in all the trip went very well and I was grateful for the tea and coffee the hotel served night and day even though there were a few bits I did not expect.

High ceilings, fun interior, historic feel, nice staff The hotel is right in between the train tracks, where trains run all night, and show venues like Fox Theater, Knitting Factory and Bing Crosby Theater, which all had shows during my Saturday night stay. I had a room on the second floor with windows facing Monroe street so I got to enjoy the cacophony of train and partygoer squeals with street traffic all night. The interior is also quite squeaky and I heard the conversation in the room next to me at 1AM quite clearly along with some constant "floor squeaks" from the room above. I am happy that others are enjoying their stays and probably would've joined them if this visit wasn't for somber family business (which admittedly most likely made me hyper aware of my surroundings). Since the surrounding venues draw lots of attendees, parking was scarce and I was forced to pay $15 for "event rates" at a lot next to the hotel (which completely absorbed the "savings" I had when I booked the hotel a week ago). There is no onsite pub - but there is a restaurant with a small lounge called Scratch that sat about 40 and they were welcoming and nice. All in all - will not be staying at the Montvale Hotel again and would not recommend it to family or friends.

The classic decor and style of the place. It's location to food, entertainment , and the freeway. It was cheap. It was noisy, between the creaking of the floorboards from the upstairs guest, to hearing the conversations from the other side of the walls, to the freight trains that roll through it was pretty hard to sleep or relax.. The wifi is painfully slow. I wouldn't stay again.
