Monte Carlo Inn Barrie Suites

This is a very nice hotel with two exceptions. The walls are paper thin, so I could clearly hear conversations in the next room. And, the free breakfast is very, very limited as they want to push you toward the $8 upgrade. Not sure I would stay there again due to the thin walls, which is a shame because otherwise it was a nice stay.

It was a great stay

Elevator was shaking and the breakfast choices could have been better. Other than that it was very nice stay.

This hotel was disgusting. The hand tower on the counter beside the bathroom sink was literally black. The other towels were all orange tinge from people’s sweat along with the pillow cases. When I asked the front desk if they outsourced their laundry the clerk replied no and said she would let tje supervisor know without even looking up at me. Wow I could see Heather really “liked” her job. Will never be back or recommend.

My room was great however the accessible room my parents were in did not have proper lighting in the bathroom making it unsafe for showering. We did let staff know . Ice machine did not work on 3rd floor either. The staff were lovely though and I had a great stay!

Horrible place. Dirty inn and rude staff. They refused my service animal, not support animal a registered service animal with paperwork. This place is a huge dive. Don’t waste your time.

Restaurant is closed except for breakfast.

Overall a comfortable stay.

First room we got there were hairs and stains on the bed, second room wasn’t much better the jetted tub had hairs all over and it was mediocre for cleanliness.

Good rooms, breakfast is a bit lame

Found a cockroach in my room. Have pictures and video proof. Had to leave the hotel at 2am as they had no alternative and told me the only option was to sleep in the room with a cockroach. Big health and safety issue

For what we paid we were happy with the room. Easy parking. Continental breakfast was good - just must eat in the dining room no exceptions. Would stay again.

Check in was easy and efficient. The room was clean and comfortable.

A little challenging from about 8 - 10:30 p.m. in 1st floor room, as there was a fair bit of noise coming through the ceiling. Other than that, it honestly was a great stay, based on the continental breakfast (fresh fruit, gluten-free bread!) and pretty much friendly people. The cost was reasonable. There was a pool. Overall, I was impressed and would choose this hotel again.

Property is very clean but a little dated.

Everything was absolutely wonderful. We did have trouble turning on the shower so we had to call the front desk and they instructed us. The only small complaint we had was that the pool was a few degrees too warm. Everything else was perfect.

The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Monte Carlo was ok, not the greatest hotel. Not so clean and seems very old. The area is very quiet not much around to go to aswell as the bed was not so comfy

My kids and i was eaten by bed bugs. Breakfast was terrible to top it off the staffs are rude and very unpleasant. My bed sheets was spotted with blood stains,then next door was banging on the wall and cursing. The only thing we enjoyed was the pool.

The room was very nice and clean. Check in was seamless. Continental breakfast was an added bonus. Would definitely stay again.

Room smelt musty and damp. Saw a lady at the front complaining about this and witnessed her leave in frustration. Should’ve been my clue but luckily it was a short stay for me and my kids.

Have stayed here before and always found it to be clean and convenient to stay

Clean property and great staff

Overall a decent hotel and rooms were nicely decorated and spacious. Staff was friendly and attentive. Cleanliness, however, could be better. We had stained towels and sheets, the elevator was grimy and the mugs and silverware at the breakfast were not all clean. The continental breakfast was pretty poor - no hot options and mostly dried out pastries.

Breakfast was very limited.

If you want a good nights sleep I suggest staying away from this area , highway is right beside the hotel , not hotels fault but could not sleep . Was also charged 2 deposits even though my CC was on file and booked through expedia .

Mixed review; room was minimally clean and

The staff was oh k to talk too, and the sheets looked yellow and very old looking rooms. Will not be staying or recommending this hotel.

C

Updated suite whicg made it super comfortable

The room was clean and the staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Construction but not your doing

Clean rooms with friendly staff

Room had a damp mildew smell and the water was brown when I first turned the taps on. Won’t go back

Enjoyed my stay. Staff welcoming and helpful. Room clean and comfortable. Most of all quite. Would recommend this property to anyone. I would stay again if I was traveling through again.

Not vlose yo restaurants etc.

Horrible service

Don't stay at this hotel. Breakfast is an absolute joke. Little choice. No hot items. Hard to locate a server. No room service one day. Late room service another day. Rude staff.

Friendly staff and nice facilities.

room was nice, did not like that the pool was out of order

Location was great, right off the highway.

…

We were welcomed in the friendliness way as soon as we walked up to the deck in desk, room was clean and comfortable as well as a great breakfast.

recommend this hotel fully!!

Staff were amazing especially the breakfast staff. Room was noisy due to a door leading from the stairs that kept banging across our room I hardly got any sleep.

Very nice hotel

Missing amenities, broken machines

Very nice hotel

Expected room to sleep 3 - had to switch room which was a downgrade but had room for a cot. I found it an expensive stay for little comfort. Bathroom floor always wet. Staff was sympathetic.

The shower is weak, double the time to take a shower. The water temperature is inconsistent throughout the shower. The breakfast is very simple, continental breakfast with no protein. The fan in the bathroom is loud, can’t avoid it since it’s connected to the lighting in bathroom.

Continental breakfast needs work no hot food as shown on flyers in hotel

Pleasant stay

Great customer service

Breakfast options were average/adequate. Service staff at breakfast were very limited - tables left dirty. Beds were comfortable. Lighting in the rooms was very dim.

Great staff

Hairs in the bathroom sink, stain on the comforter, coffee maker needed to be cleaned and sheets are very starchy. TV advertised about their restaurant and room service. Sign out in the hall says Bar and Grill…..there is no restaurant. Just a small dining area where the continental breakfast is served. One poor girl working the entire area. Tables were full of dirty dishes and patrons were piling them all up on a table to make room to eat. Bare minimum of a breakfast that had to be eaten in the dining room. Wouldn’t have been an issue if it wasn’t so crowded and messy. Very messy.

The room was just okay considering it had been renovated. It had a mouldy smell. At the “ included “ continental breakfast we had to wait 20 minutes to get coffee! I feel that’s a little too long to wait.

Nice…

We have enjoyed staying at other Monte Carlo hotels before so we’re looking forward to our stay. The hotel seems generally fine as we arrived. However the first room we were given had not been cleaned and had blood stains on the bedding even though it had been made. They immediately changed our room but the hotel staff didn’t apologize (I am guessing this has happened before) but simply gave us other keys. The second room wasn’t much better - there was food on the floor and hair in the tub and toilet (even though it had been sealed as sanitized with paper seal), but it seems they don’t have any decent rooms. The hotel is in disrepair and I guess they must have been long stay rooms at some point as the furniture was all bashed up. I will never stay here again and will now be wary of the brand.

Very clean, comfortable and the nightly rates are the best (lowest) in the Barrie area. Front check-in staff were very friendly and efficient.

No restaurant nearby

We always stay here when visiting Barrie. It is good value for money. The room was clean but Lobby and elevator could have been cleaner. The breakfast was fine and the breakfast area clean.

I see that there were bad reviews but the hotel was nice

Great location

great location

Motel not a Hotel. Called for early check in, immediately met with confrontation. Mattress in 408 was all springs, very uncomfortable. Generally clean but a lot of small areas were missed. Towels smelt very musty. Price was relatively cheap so I guess you get what you pay for.

Spacious rooms, comfortable bed. Was pleased to see a stand up shower.

Service at the front desk could have been more warming. Where are the smiles from staff? No smiles. We only had a comment to check in to get a voucher before getting breakfast in the morning.

Very nice

My experience was the worst I’ve ever had at a hotel it was the dirtiest, horrible breakfast option, should be called a snack not breakfast, we were only greeted by front desk one time the last day out of our 3 day stay on our last day there! House keeping was not friendly either! Had to change my own bed sheets at 3am because they were stained and beyond yellow. The next day when I asked housekeeping for new towels because they were crispy rigid stained and very yellow, I was told they are off white that’s why they are that yellow.. my intelligence has never been tested like that in my life and that if I have a problem I should speak to the supervisor! I just never felt so uncomfortable and not welcomed in a hotel before me and my bf got more stares then hello … management needs to do a better job at hiring overnight/day front desk staff! Only helpful guy was the guy on the first night of check in that actually brought me crispy white bed sheets so I can change them myself .. so it’s clear they have them just sitting on them! Will never return that’s for sure Oh forgot to mention came back last the last night to find out bathroom dripping in water from the vent

Wish they had more food option for breakfast

Everything

Location was good, pool was great for my granddaughter! Sheets were a little worn and had an off white colour as well as the towels in room and at the pool. At some point during the night odour of skunk thru out the room, some people checked in on the same floor was really bad! They had been sprayed, opened the door and the whole floor smelled , commented to the staff and they didn’t seem to care! Gave me a headache and eyes burning!

Very clean!

The property was nicely rennovated and the room was very comfortable. Staff were hit and miss for for friendliness and accessibility. The continental breakfast was not as nice as other Monte Carlo Inns, instant oats instead of a crockpot of real oatmeal, limited toppings, fruit salad was going bad. Staff were not present when breakfast opened at 7:00. When I asked someone in the kitchen well after 7:00 for hot water for oatmeal the person acted like I was a nuisance. The clientele was curious too. While I felt safe in my room, I didn't in the parking lot or sometimes in the hallway. I rarely leave reviews that aren't positive. However I feel this is an important experience to share.

Perfect

Friendly staff, convenient parking, good room. Beside Highway 400 so noisy, however pulling blind down stopped most noise. Breakfast provided was minimal continental style.

Pool closed in morning, improper ventilation in the property rooms were bit smelly. Breakfast was good

The room was very clean and quiet . The only reasons we did not give 5 stars are : pillows - too hard and no selection or options . Ice machines - no ice and none were working . Water pressure in the shower was very low .

Always stay here, love this place.

Quiet room.

.

I’ll put 4 on 5 only because of its location. Not in a great area. Overall it is a good value-price ratio

Room

One staff member at front desk needs to attend customer service course on how to great and talk to guest

Very nice stay with great staff. The two ladies that work in the restaurant in the morning were really friendly and helpful.

I would do better compliment breakfast , for what available was pathetic. Maybe a waffle maker

Great size for a suite, jacuzzi in the room is a must and the king size bed was comfortable. Unfortunately the room was not very clean, lots of hair in the bed and in the bathroom. The worst part was that the shower drain was clogged, so the bathtub was filling up. Not great to take a shower with our feet in 10-12" of water. TV is way too small and way too far from the bed. Soundproofing isn't great, hearing everything in the hallways and the highway close by. You can tell that this hotel use to be a great option... 20-25 years ago. The elevator gave me goosebumps, it feels like its gonna drop at any given moment. The breakfast is far too limited, even for a continental option, with only plain cereal, a few bakeries and yogurt. Overall, decent place, but the jacuzzi sweet was not worth the 800$ for 3 nights. Will try a different hotel on my next stay in Barrie

They didn’t receive our booking from Expedia . Booked thru Expedia , Expedia took our money right away and got confirmation of our stay , then arrive at the hotel to be informed that we’re not in the system and they didn’t have a room under my name in the system . Showed them the confirmation emails from Expedia and they tell me that they never received the booking from Expedia . Booked a luxury king suite with a jacuzzi tub in it and got downgraded to a regular room that they had available with no money refunded or any added compensation . First room smelled of urine so we got transferred to another regular room that smelled slightly less of urine . What an amazing anniversary weekend . Thanks Expedia and Monte Carlo Inn for taking my money and not reserving me a room ! Awesome experience . Excellent service !

After a game of golf or a hike around waterfront, a soak in the suite's spa tub is the perfect ending to the day! Highly recommend the suite. Overall, recommended!!

There was a terrible musty smell. I switched rooms but still there. I ended up buying air fresheners to be able to manage it. Older facilities that could use some refreshing. Elevator is pretty clunky and can be a bit worrisome. Shower had a strong power which was great. Breakfast is an extra charge if you want eggs but was not bad.

The continental breakfast was not great. Coffee was good but pastry was stale. U could buy a full breakfast tho. The dining area was small and crowded

My room was someth less than clean but not filthy. Limited dining. I paid to upgrade my "free" breakfast and got ice cold potatoes and eggs and they didn't even have any sausage. Staff offered the minimum in terms of service. Definitely nobody going out of their way to help anyone. I was there 2 nights to attend a family wedding nearby. If I had been on vacation, I'd have been upset.

I liked that it was quiet and vary clean.

.

Good location, clean. Did not like the construction around the parking lot. It was difficult to come and go.

Very nice place and polite staff, would totally recommend to friends!!

Monte Carlo Inn, was overall good. The people were friendly, the pool was clean. and the room was also clean. It is an old Hotel, and that shows in decor, but otherwise it was goof

Bathroom not cleaned very well. Informed staff of issue and they didn’t seem to be too worried about it. Other than that staff was friendly and room was fine.

While adequate it could be easily improved. The room door had no sound or light baffling around it. Simple enough to fix with a trip to Home Depot. The breakfast is manned by one person... unable to keep up with filling the offerings and wiping off the used tables. And the layout is congested and difficult to navigate... often found 5-6 people bumping into each other trying to get at the components. The area is small industrial... you can walk to Tim Horton's but that is about it.
