Great place to stay
Normally, I am not compelled to write reviews for hotels and motels, but I really enjoyed my stay here. It's located by many, great local coffee shops and stores. The staff was great and welcoming, as well. I will definitely book here for my next visit to Moscow.

This property is fantastic! Within walking distance from dining, shopping downtown and U of I campus. Rooms were clean and updated. Beds were very comfortable. Easy check-in/out via text. Complementary snacks and coffee bar in our room along with a white noise machine all added to our experience. We will be back!

This motel has clearly been recently remodeled and is incredibly cozy. Location is right in the heart of downtown Moscow and is steps away from multiple excellent dining options. Staff is also very friendly and helpful. Rooms facing the alleyway are also very quiet as they face away from the street. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get to know downtown Moscow during their visit.

Stayed on the busy street side this visit and it was a bit noisier than expected. Also, the room had a ‘smoking room’ smell unfortunately. I’m not sure if there are non-smoking rooms but I didn’t complain about it at that time which I regret now.

Check in/out was a breeze-all through text. Customer service was exceptional-they even sent us back an item we forgot in the room. The businesses/workers behind the motel looked a little sketchy, but we didn't have any problems. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location, modern amenities. Liked the automated checkin. Their phones were not working all day Saturday (we called them 10x to get a busy signal and then straight to voicemail). We also emailed them and was told they never got an email. We needed to let them know we were checking in after dinner as we had drove 6 hours into town for the football game.
We got into bed at 10pm, only to be woken up every single hour by people SCREAMING at the top of their lungs through the streets, in the parking lot, near our door. Then there was a group of people (4-6) about 10 feet from our door from 2am-4:30am partying without thinking one thing about people trying to sleep. I messaged the hotel to just get a “we’re sorry for the noise” message.
There should be a protocol in place for stuff like this. This is our first stay here and we have future stays booked, but we are hesitant.
Asked for a noon checkout which they granted.
Overall we got zero sleep and had to drive back 6 hours home. Completely exhausted.

Monarch Motel has been renovated and fits the university "vibe" well! Moscow's fun & bohemianesque downtown area is literally around the corner.
I had a first floor room and the noise between the rooms was a bit distracting and operating the TV was challenging. A How-To guide would be helpful. Sadly, we were not able to dine at their restaurant, Nectar. Several friends told us it is a very good restaurant. My next trip to Moscow, I hope the Monarch will have a room available!

I at least have never stayed at a motel when I didn't see a receptionist, but just had a code texted to me and walked in. Since it was late, that was rather convenient.
In the morning, I did meet the receptionist, and she kind, bubbly, and a delight.
Shower was very gentle. A showerhead that gave more power would have been a great plus.
If I were doing more than spending the night, I would have preferred a less noisy location, but it was okay for what we needed this trip.

The Monarch was nice enough, checking was fairly easy, they font make you sign a bunch of stuff. My issue was the stair railings and steps were old, but mostly it was just noisy. Noise from the busy street, and barking dogs. The provided earplugs show that management is aware of this, but for me it was a dealbreaker. The location was wonderful.

Excellent vibe. It is still a motel layout but upgraded to high-end shower/showerhead/toilet/sink, nice towels/soaps, beds and bedding with character, modern TV. Location is key - this hotel is a half-block from the very vibrant Main St. downtown area, and close to campus - just park the car and walk. Late check-in was handled enthusiastically and was easy. If noise of cars driving past is a concern ask for a room on the back side, but it didn't bother me. Would be happy to stay here again.

Even though it’s in close proximity to the street and you can get some traffic noise, they make every effort to accommodate for that by providing earplugs and a bedside noise simulator that allows you to select different nature sound and white noise. Very clean and comfortable. And we had a very good nights sleep.

Definitely will stay here again next time in town. Rooms and lobby nicely updated and clean. Wonderfully comfortable bedding and pillows. Attentive and responsive management. On a suggestion card in the room, I mentioned that an adjustable shower head and having shampoo/conditioner mounted in the shower would be nice. When I stayed there again the following week, both things had been installed.
The only negative is the location of being on a busy road on one side, and facing an alley on the other. However being a block from the center of town is great.

A Hidden Gem
Was not sure what to expect when I made the reservation, but the pictures on the website made it look pretty nice. I was more than pleasantly surprised. Yes, this is an older building, but the rooms have been very tastefully redone. Cleanliness was excellent. Newly remodeled bathrooms sparkled and I loved the above counter sink. Wood floors were clean and beautiful and nice quality bedding. And the price was the best in town.
