I have never written a negative review for a hotel but this place was atrocious; at best! Avoid this place at all cost, even if you must sleep in your car. The management has a strict no refund policy and it is obvious that that are not interested in maintaining the facility

Booked a room over the phone this for a last minute trip to Cornwall. Unknown to me my wife was booking a different hotel upstairs. I called back less than ten minutes later to cancel and was told no refunds less than 24hrs before. Maybe I missed that in conversation while booking on the phone (english is my only language) it was real hard to understand the women on the other end but don't think she mentioned it. Looked up on website after the fact and it does mention refund policy so technically I guess I'm not warranted a refund. But ten minutes over , really ?? That hard up I suppose. I didn't read reviews of the place until after all this and am sure as hell glad we didn't go there. Forfeiting the money is the least of my worries after reading recent reviews.

Booked for my mom and pre paid on booking.com and when she showed up there were Crack heads lurking all around. She didn't even stay there and we don't get our money back as per policy. She said it was a total dump and is now driving around Cornwall at 10pm looking for an alternative.

Absolutely disgusting. Paid for the room, got the key, climbed the stairs and came right back down. Asked for a refund. No. Place smelled of old cigarettes, urine and god knows what else. Stay away

This is our first review as we are not picky travelers and we have stayed in all kinds of places all over the world but we had to write something with regards to this motel especially if you are travelling with young children as we were. We knew this was a budget motel but there are plenty of budget motels that are clean and family friendly. Unfortunately this motel is as far from "family motel" as you could possibly imagine. The first room we visited for our stay showed sighs of a break in. The door had been kicked in and an attempt was made to patch it up and as you could imagine the door no longer closed properly. Inside the room the cigarette smell was overwhelming and the matresses were old and very worn. We also noticed what seemed to be some blood droplets on the wall behind the bed and a blood smear on the door frame leading out of the room (I guess house keeping missed a few spots). We were quickly moved to our original non-smoking room. The room was much cleaner, beds seemed newer and there was no cigarette odor. As we were doing our usual bed bug check between the matresses we found the unimaginable, one hyperdermic needle and a hunting knife hidden between the matress and box spring. We were fully refunded and apologies were expressed but we could not have departed fast enough. If one of our children had played around the matress they may have been hurt by the syringe. We are embarassed for the management of this establishment and perhaps they are stuck with a certain clientele but seriously, a syringe and a knife under the matress!

Upon arrival at the Monte Carlo, I was greated at the office desk by the owner after walking through a haze of cigarette smoke. She seemed very enthusiastic about the accomodations I was being provided and, as such, I felt confident that my girlfriend and I would have a nice stay. I was unpleasantly surprised.
The room we booked was a kitchenette room and we had purchased a large amount of groceries for our 4 day trip. Entrance to the upstairs room was via what one could only call a rickety fire escape. The room did have a second entrance but the key did not work properly and the door was jammed. Opening it on any frequency was a hassle at best. We opened the refrigerator to fill it only to find that the freezer was so completely full of frost that the door would not close. We later found that everything in the refrigerator section would freeze because the freezer door remained open when the outer refrigerator door was shut.
With our food finally stored we decided to settle in to our accomodations. The furniture in the bedroom section was modest and the layout was poor. If the bathroom door was left open the television became blocked. Inside the kitchen was a bookcase that one could only describe as "slanted". We were also surprised to find a pair of used running shoes in the closet. The lamp on the one nightstand was covered in burnt plastic which is quite dangerous considering the fact that there was no battery in the smoke detector.
The kitchen section itself had two outlets for 3 appliances plus the crock pot we brought with us. The power outlet on the oven was not functional.This made cooking inconvenient. We opened the cupboards to assess the pots and pans situation and were surprised to find that the one decent sized frying pan in the room was without a handle. This inconvenience was only made worse by the fact that there were no oven mitts provided. The clock on the oven was broken and constantly flashed 12:00 without any way to remedy it, very annoying. When I finally was able to cook a meal it was a challenge to find two matching plates in the cupboard. The only two knives that matched in the silverware holder were plastic knives that were taken from a fast food restaurant.
The bathroom in the room could best be described as "ghetto". The toilet paper dispenser had broken off of the wall and had been neatly placed on the floor by housekeeping awaiting replacement. The sink was tiny with exposed piping underneath and the tap would drip if you looked at it sideways (I had to put a wet facecloth under it at night so we could sleep). The shower head height was not adjustable. I am six feet tall and the lowest spot I could get the water to hit me was on my neck. I can only imagine how difficult showering was for my girlfriend who is five foot three.
I am not quite sure how to describe the decor in the room other than to say it is "reflective" because there was not a single wall in the room that did not have a mirror on it. The windows were sealed shut with paint which made getting fresh air into the room impossible.
The one nice thing the room had going for it was the view of the St. Lawrence river from the balcony. Unfortunately there was a gang of teenagers in the next room who spent a great deal of time outside smoking which made the balcony an unpleasant place to be.
I will not be staying here again and I would suggest that you reconsider if you are thinking about visiting the area and staying in this motel. There are several other local low cost options.

I should have trusted my instinct when we first drove up, but was late & tired. Budget motel, but nothing like I've seen. Struggled to open door amoung all the bugs. Run down, outdated and a smell as we went in. Bed was old, sheets so worn & ripped in numerous spots. Towels so thin, shower curtain stained, shower head was so low, tub surround stained..I am sorry but nothing good to say. We are not fussy people, but this should not be advertised for travellers. No one should have to stay in such a run down place in this day and age! We did not know better hotel 10 min away...

I just finished reading a review posted before mine that stated
"Never again will I stay at motel they have a rat problem not to mention mold in rooms. 20 year old stained beds.and a whole lot you don't want to here,just putting it out there.think twice before u go to Monte carlo"
I stayed last night at the Monte Carlo and there must be 2 Monte Carlo Motels in Cornwall. The room I stayed at was extremely clean, had new mattresses, new bathroom fixtures, flooring etc. I couldn't have been more pleased especially in light of the fact that the room only cost $65. Assuming that all rooms are the same as mine (room 6) I would highly recommend your stay here. If there are rooms with mold etc, perhaps you might want to review the room prior to accepting. I took the room unseen and I was very pleased!

Seated on the corner of a quiet residential street with a beautiful river view. Easy to be fooled by where this rat nest is situated. Bathroom mouldy. Bathtub had been recaulked on top of dirt. Had to plunge toilet on arrival. Towels clearly unwashed-evident by overwhelming fabric softener smell and zero absorbency that the only thing happening here is a tumble in a dryer. Pull back beds to discover dark hair all over sheets and cigarette burns. Bugs in room. Flying and crawling. Disgusting. Fridge reeked of mold despite being cold. Did not stay. Drove six hours home at night instead of risking climbing into the beds. Yes...it is THAT BAD. Do not stay here.
