I head to Orlando about five times a year. I've stayed at probably 100 different hotels in the area but the Monte Carlo was a first, based on the great reviews.
This is an older, two-story motel that has been renovated. While the bath and bedroom have been updated, there's still many challenges this place has.
First off, it's right on 192 and the noise level (even with curtains drawn, A/C unit on, and door tightly shut) can be quite loud. In addition to the traffic...which runs from early morning to late night...there's also noise from other rooms, the parking lot and the walkway in front of the rooms.
Secondly, the pool sits in the parking lot and right in front of all the rooms which face it. You may feel "on display" as you take a dip. There's not a single plant or tree surrounding it. It's just concrete with water.
My room had some extra challenges. Being on the second floor, I realized there was no elevator. Not a big deal for me (I'm a hiker) but it got a bit old when I had to go down to report my remote control wasn't working, get something from my Jeep, or go out to eat or grab something from the store.
Lastly, they don't offer bar soap or shampoo/conditioner bottles, instead electing for dispensers. That's fine but not so great when you're in the shower and realize they haven't been filled.
I will say the staff was nice and the area was clean. Still, there's much better (and quiter) places to stay.
