Monte Carlo Motel

Not a place I would recommend

The hotel was nice and for a small town, it was expected to be on the older side. Room was clean and had all the things you would expect. Make sure you bring your own body and hair wash as the bottles were empty. Oh the pool is empty but that wasn’t a deal breaker.

very rude aggressive staff, pool is non functioning rotten for years.

Good place to stay with pets

Check-in was pretty bad - the chap at the front desk couldn't find our reso and while he wrestled the computer he just sat his dog on the counter (small dog, plexiglass barrier that had too small a gap at the bottom for the dog to directly touch us, but just a bit, well, weird!) On the good front the room was bigger than expected, clean, full-size fridge-freezer so we could recharge the icepacks from our cooler properly, large new TV - less good was the window in the door which while privacy was not an issue as there was a frosted effect, let a huge amount of light in at dawn. Considering the other two windows were barely larger and they had proper blackout drapes, a real oversight! WiFi was also inadequate for how many rooms they have - signal constantly dropped all evening, but at 5am when we were woken up by the sun it worked perfectly, so it wasn't a range-from-the-modem issue but purely down to insufficient capacity. We could read emails, but couldn't even play simple games if they needed a live server link. The very old-looking AC unit did cool the room fine, but was unable to provide 'white noise' even in 'constant fan' mode as the volume went up and down frequently but with no pattern. If in Hinton, no need for reliable fast WiFi, with earplugs and an eye shade, I'd say it's a good choice for you - nice wee pub just down the road, a couple of other dining options even closer, deskclerk was friendly - but we wouldn't stay again ourselves.
