Monticello Inn - Monticello, Indiana

This was a nice old style hotel just off the main drag . Easy parking , friendly staff , everything was in good condition and working . Pool was clean easy to get to with a nice patio . Had no issues during our stay . Thank you

It was a cute place. The pool was clean and the staff was friendly. Clean room. I would stay there again if I go out there.

Smelled like a stale cigarette when checking in . Says no smoking but patrons were totally smoking ..

Clean rooms, good tv stations, close drive to everything you’d need. Staff was nice and seriously for 98$ this was more than wonderful. Pool is small but it’s clean and you get towels at the front desk. Good place to spend the night!

We have stayed at the Monticello In. For a 2 night weekend each of the last 2 summers while visiting Indiana Beach. So this review is going to be based on the options. We stayed at the Best Western 3 years ago and it is the best hotel in town so that would be a 5 for the area… but it was $225 a night, so that is the price for the local 5 star. The Indiana Beach hotel, previously the Pine View Resort is the low end I would say 1.5/2 star for the area and costs about $140 a night. The last few times we stayed there, their help wasn’t good and the plumbing had massive issues. So now to the Monticello Inn. Yes the office smells like smoke, but the managers were super nice and have always been helpful. The ac works, the plumbing works, tv works and the beds have been clean and bug free. Now the bathrooms are not great and are outdated and the rooms are straight out of the 1980s and 1990s, the parking lot is similar to a mine field. The pool has been awesome both times, very clean and very not busy, our girls love it. I would call this the local 3/3.5 star but it’s like $110 a night. This is where we are going to continue to stay until there are reasons not to stay. I hope this good honest review helps.

Room was clean ,staff was friendly. Swimming pool and pool area was nice.. I had no trouble with Wi-Fi or internet.. my stay was from july 15th thru the 17th. I recommend staying here . I would stay again

It is a nice, inexpensive motel. The lobby did smell very strongly of cigarettes even though it is a non smoking establishment. We got two key cards but only one worked unfortunately and we didn’t find out until the middle of the night when my boyfriend arrived and I was already asleep. The room was clean if a little out dated. The plug situation was a little lacking, so bring a power strip with a surge protector if you think you will need to plug in more than two things or want something plugged in near the bed. Overall, for what I paid it was fine. You can’t expect 5 stars for that price, but if you just need a place to stay it works.

Check-in was simple and easy, both staff members that we've had to interact with were super nice and professional, and us and the kids had the entire pool to ourselves. Wonderful first night stay and we plan to stay another night

I stay here every time I go to Indiana Beach. They are cheapest in town. Clean updated rooms. Parking directly in front of room. Staff very friendly. They are only couple miles from amusement Park.

Great location, clean, quiet, and great pool.

Very clean. Staff friendly!

Very basic motel, with questionable cleanliness ( saw hairs on sheets and in the bathroom)

We booked a queen room months ago. We show up and they tell us they’re giving us two doubles. The lady behind the desk called the owner and said they couldn’t give us a queen. We hemmed and hawed and eventually got them to cave. The sheets and the towels had stains on them and the bed was rock hard.

Bed was clean/comfortable, bathroom was clean. Easy checkin and checkout. But the carpet was so dark and stained. Though the interior looks dated, I would have been happy if the carpet was better. Overall the stay just for the night during a long travel as a break was ok. I would not go back because of the dirty carpet.

Older independent owned clean and well kept. It was exactly what I was looking for in the area. I will stay there again when working in the area.

Rooms are dated but rooms are very clean and beds were comfortable.

The property was CLEAN! That’s a big plus for me because I’ve stayed in more expensive hotels like Extended Stay in Memphis and it was FILTHY! This hotel was reasonably priced, clean, quiet, and all around a “hidden gem” Check in was easy and the gentleman was so nice and polite. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend others to stay here as well.

Had a nice stay here, the staff was friendly even though I arrived late for check-in, the room was clean and well-furnished, I slept great!

Room was adequate and comfortable. However in the bathroom there was long black hair on the walls.

No frills but sparkly clean and comfortable!!

Comfortable bed, had a microwave fridge. It was nice!!

I thought this was a good one night staying. The bed wasn’t that comfortable, bathroom conditions doesn’t look great, and in good locations by restaurants. I trying to run shower water warm and it was pain in the butt. Certain turn get me hot or cold. No matter what turn I make in each knob Aargghh Tv cable is good. WiFi really SUCk. Sometime it work while other time work fine. So basically I county get wifi for whole time staying here. Quick check and nice to get bigger space.

Very nice little motel close to Indiana Beach! We usually don't choose motels because of safety and noise concerns. However, we will definitely stay here again! Check in was easy and the staff was very friendly. Our room was spacious, beds and pillows were very comfortable, everything was clean, mini-fridge kept our food cold, a/c was adequate (and worked nicely as white noise without being annoying.) We were told our room - 131 - was updated not long ago and had a flat-screen TV. The area outside our room was nice, clean, and felt safe. There is also a pool and the water temp was nice, and it was very clean. It is small but ranges from 3' to 8'. We used the pool a bit the first night and was able to get in early to use it before we checked out which was very nice of the staff. This motel is also very close to Walmart and restaurants. Cons for those who may need to know.. however, these weren't big issues for us and won't stop us from staying again: The lobby closes at 10:30 or 11pm and that's where the ice machine is. The drain in our shower was very slow, and the toilet clogged up (there is a plunger in the bathroom and was quickly cleared). The pool doesn't open until noon. The WIFI seemed to go in and out. Overall, we had a very nice stay and will be back whenever we go to Indiana Beach.

Rooms are dated but rooms are very clean and beds were comfortable.

Clean, affordable older motel. Well maintained. Could use more comfortable matresses.

The only issue I had with this hotel was that the WiFi was weak in my room (#221), so I had to go to the lobby if I wanted to go online. Besides that, everything else was fine.

Rooms are dated, 1 bed was comfortable, 1 was not.

It was convenient for the plans we had, places we needed to go. The bed was comfortable, but the room was a bit dated. It served its purpose.

Thin walls ,could hear a TV playing all night.

Very clean. Staff friendly!

I have stayed at this property many times in my business travels and always enjoy it! It is clean,comfortable and quiet! The owners are real nice and very helpful if you need something.

Staff was nice, said thank u and welcome, and answered questions that were asked. Very nice.

Nicest folks that run this. We continue to go here because of the owners.

Staff was friendly and helpful

staff is always great, clean room, quiet area. I stay here quite often when visiting family in the area

I loved how quiet it was. Not alot of people like if you went to a big hotel. The pool wasnt too crowded. The people were all very friendly.

Clean great location second time here!

An old fashioned motor court that is clean and immaculately maintained. If you are going to Indiana Beach and want a reasonably priced place to stay that is not too far from the action (in previous visits I was forced to stay in Lafayette) this is it. So glad I found them on Expedia.

Clean rooms, good tv stations, close drive to everything you’d need. Staff was nice and seriously for 98$ this was more than wonderful. Pool is small but it’s clean and you get towels at the front desk. Good place to spend the night!

It was quiet. Not to much going on here but we drove to Indiana beach board walk so it worked perfectly

We were passing through on our way to Indianapolis to view the solar eclipse. Staff was very friendly, check in went smoothly. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bed was not a pillow top and could use an extra pillow or two, but still quite comfortable .We had a microwave and refrigerator and coffee maker. in room. Older motel but, very well kept. We’ve had a nice stay so far. Convenient to shopping . We would definitely stay here again if in the area. Price was also a plus.

I stay here every time I go to Indiana Beach. They are cheapest in town. Clean updated rooms. Parking directly in front of room. Staff very friendly. They are only couple miles from amusement Park.

I had a wonderful weekend getaway here. Lots of Restaurants to choose from, and I felt very safe being here.

Great location, clean, quiet, and great pool.
