Travellers describe The MC, Autograph Collection as a stylish, centrally located base in Montclair with a popular rooftop bar, comfortable rooms, and many friendly staff interactions, tempered by recurring comments about pricey or inconvenient parking, occasional noise, and inconsistent service.
On-site dining, including Allegory, earns many compliments, though a few guests noted limited options or loud music. Cleanliness is generally solid, but some reviews report towel shortages, lingering odors, leftover items, or missed housekeeping. Overall, expect a modern stay with appealing style and amenities, tempered by occasional operational hiccups.

Bartenders were very good - friendly and good service. Great views of NYC skyline. Great location with great restaurants and cafes in walking distance. Only downside is parking garage - still under construction with only available parking on the roof. A short walk but valet is available.

The room had inadequate drawer space with only 2. The daily fee for parking was excessive ($40.00). No ice makers on any of the floors, however we did get ice after calling the front desk, as well as a 2nd robe. They promised to re-supply bottles of water on a daily basis; they did not unless you called. Overall the room was expensive, almost $500.00 for a Friday night, and barely adequate.

I like the resort “feel” of this location and that it was close to home. I will be booking another stay to experience the rooftop, which were unable to due to renovations. Also, the staff was very kind, welcoming and courteous.

Positives: Staff were friendly & helpful. The surrounding area has shopping & restaurants in easy walking distance. The room was overall comfortable & quiet. There was a decent amount of storage areas for clothing. The room had an empty mini fridge which was helpful for storing leftovers / drinks. Negatives: One of two elevators was broken, making for long waits at the elevator. We were on floor 4 and mostly used the stairs. The room had some cosmetic defects (broken picture frame, unpainted wall repair). No ice maker / bucket. The self-parking was in a garage with an hourly rate and no in/out privileges.

The hotel offers a pleasant, clean, and comfortable environment, though there were a few aspects that caused some inconvenience. The placement of electrical outlets in the room was not ideal for charging devices; notably, there were no USB ports available, and I found it challenging to connect my laptop at the desk due to the absence of a nearby outlet. Additionally, because the room featured a thick carpet I encountered difficulty with the office-style chair at the desk, which lacked wheels. This made it cumbersome to move the chair, and I experienced some frustration when it became stuck, resulting in an incident where I fell from the chair. Overall, my stay was enjoyable, and the staff were very friendly. However, my need to complete work during my visit highlighted these challenges.

The hotel design, fixtures and features of the room were beautiful and modern. The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the room. Our 5-year old found a pair of someone’s dirty pants behind the sofa in our room (and of course picked them up and touched them). We also noticed the 2 paper cups which were provided for coffee appeared to actually have been used. The bottom cup which was stacked underneath the other had water in it. There also were not enough towels, wash cloths or toiletry items when we arrived. Our reservation was for 4 people (two adults and two children in a double Queen room) and we were given two bath towels, one hand towel and one wash cloth, one shampoo, one conditioner and one body wash. Other than these issues with the room, it was great.

Room was clean. The walls a bit thin. I swear I heard someone urinating. I like to sleep cold, but the AC wouldn't go down low enough to make the room comfortable. It stopped at 67, which is probably low enough for most people. The restaurant has tasty food. Check in and out was easy. Would stay here again.

My room was on the 8th floor and it was very loud at night because of the rooftop bar. I heard music late into the night both nights of my stay and it was hard to sleep. One day when I requested my car from Valet Parking downstairs, it took them 25 minutes to retrieve it. When it finally arrived, the guy had all of my windows down, which I thought was strange. When I went to get into my car, the whole thing smelled of weed. I don't smoke anything, or do any drugs, so I was very upset. When I complained to the Valet driver, another worker came right over and started to yell at me, saying that the two of them hadn't even been on duty at the time, but they'd come back to help out, so I should be happy that I'd even gotten my car back at all at that time. The whole situation was not good. For the price of this hotel, I expected a lot more. No one helped us bring our bags inside or to our rooms. The maids were yelling at each other early in the morning. I had to ask for wash cloths. The only people who were friendly and helpful were the front desk staff. I did like my room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. Everything was clean.

The stay was very good, but 2 things popped up that takes a star away. The in-room coffee maker had no directions and deep down a Keurig K-Cup would have been a better choice (kind of idiot proof). The mattress was almost unsleepable (I see this as a valid word, but spell check is not happy - sigh). I can see why you could not have a room full of different densities, but maybe a Sleep Number might work for a high ended hotel. My old back needed a firmer choice and for some reason the King seemed a tad small - maybe my perception. Ok 2 more (on a roll) you need a 2nd hook in the bathroom for towel hanging if you don't want to change out towels daily. And lastly - is 1 ply TP/tissues really a top choice for a 4-star establishment?

Couldn’t find our reservation, then sent us to a room that already had occupants. The next morning, housekeeping pounded on the door at 9am and didn’t wait for the door to be answered before they opened it, despite it not being anywhere close to check out time. Room charges from other guests on our bill.

I called reception to request a baby crib and was told someone would follow up. No one did. When I called again, I was told housekeeping had left and reception couldn’t access a crib. I ended up spending an uncomfortable night sharing a queen bed with my toddler. A baby crib is a basic amenity that should be readily available, especially at a hotel of this level. Disappointed with the lack of coordination. please call if you want to discuss further 508-665-8487 Raal Alkass

The staff is very rude and careless. The valet guys would let you stand outside in 30° F temp for at least 15 minutes before they even come out to get your car. The hotel itself is nice and the area is very nice with everything within reach and very safe, however the staff is very disappointing

I went to the MC as a long time resident to support the establishment and set up a few meetings etc. When I went in I presented my I'd and my card. The first time they scanned my card they said it was declined which I knew was impossible. I checked my app it showed the deduction in complete detail. They then told me " We have the customer call the bank for a verification code" I was puzzled but I complied I called my banker and she was confused as well. Eventually it was cleared up only after the front desk charged my card five times. I was also told there was a pin pad that always gave that kind of trouble. Smh. Disappointed in how I was treated but not surprised unfortunately.

So, the hotel is centrally located in the heart of Montclair. Whatever cuisine you could ponder is less than a 20 min ride from the hotel. Staff was amazing. Housekeeping was at our room no later than 12pm each day of our stay. Definitely would recommend this hotel.

My room was on the 8th floor and it was very loud at night because of the rooftop bar. I heard music late into the night both nights of my stay and it was hard to sleep. One day when I requested my car from Valet Parking downstairs, it took them 25 minutes to retrieve it. When it finally arrived, the guy had all of my windows down, which I thought was strange. When I went to get into my car, the whole thing smelled of weed. I don't smoke anything, or do any drugs, so I was very upset. When I complained to the Valet driver, another worker came right over and started to yell at me, saying that the two of them hadn't even been on duty at the time, but they'd come back to help out, so I should be happy that I'd even gotten my car back at all at that time. The whole situation was not good. For the price of this hotel, I expected a lot more. No one helped us bring our bags inside or to our rooms. The maids were yelling at each other early in the morning. I had to ask for wash cloths. The only people who were friendly and helpful were the front desk staff. I did like my room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. Everything was clean.

If you need to be in Montclair, this is the place to stay. I wish there were a suite option but my family of four usually just takes two queen beds. The restaurant downstairs is fine but it'll get tedious if you eat there everyday. The hotel is in downtown Montclair so you'll have plenty of food and entertainment options around. There's a club upstairs but we didn't get to it.

The property and room were super clean. We are locals so we knew what to expect as far as parking etc. We went to the roof top bar and it was definitely a vibe. I just wish they had more food options. Everyone was friendly. The hotel is a bit pricey but we really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back in the spring/summer.

Room was clean. The walls a bit thin. I swear I heard someone urinating. I like to sleep cold, but the AC wouldn't go down low enough to make the room comfortable. It stopped at 67, which is probably low enough for most people. The restaurant has tasty food. Check in and out was easy. Would stay here again.

The #1 think I liked was the bed!! They were super comfy!! #2 Location smack dab in the middle of a fun little area. #3 rooftop lounge! So pretty up there. Little warning: room service isn’t actually room service, you can order food from downstairs and pick it up. Valet is a little rough! And there is no bell service.

Hotel was nice but not as good as expected. Room was quiet and clean. One day the maid service forgot to empty the trash and restock the coffee. Breakfast was a disaster; no service and we ended up going to Toast nearby. Valet parking was handy but expensive at $40/night plus tips. Overall I'd rate it a B.
