Both rooms upgraded to Premier Monte Carlo. 1st time in a while we haven't been upgraded to a suite there. One suite was available at the time of check in. but the older gentleman checking us in said no suites were available.
I have to say the area around the Capital One Arena is becoming more and more sketchy at night.....
You did extremely well. The gift bags were probably worth about $3. I left the contents in the room. Plastic sunglasses, a postcard, etc .....
Other than Metro to/from airport, walked everywhere including at night. One of the reasons I like this property is the location because it’s easy to get around. Was not at all worried in the area at night. Of course, one has to be careful, it’s a big city. Now, Shaw is a different story but getting better.
The thing I don’t like at the Monaco DC is the amenity fee. A clear cash grab.
