From very first interaction I could tell the man who greeted us was very accommodating. He saw that we had our kids with us and asked if we would like bedding for the pull out sofa. Which we didn’t need for our one night stay, but I was grateful for the offer. After getting back right after midnight from visiting with our local family we accidentally locked our keys in the room right before anyone was in the room. With two kids in the car and tears welling up in my eyes not wanting to be disruptive, I had no other option but to press the “ring” doorbell at the front office and hope that someone came. My heart sank with joy when he came to the door and he didn’t make me feel bad to disturbing him so late. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. it’s always appreciated.

I honestly wish we had more time to get to enjoy its beauty next to the river. I’ve never been a fan of trains, but I’ve always slept with a fan, so white noise took care of that.

I had brought an unwrapped wedding present; I asked for a recommendation for where to get a nice gift bag. The proprietor said, "Wait a moment," then emerged with a beautiful gift bag that he had on hand. Having some spare time before the wedding, I asked about local attractions. The proprietor gave me directions to a local park; the room-cleaner relayed very specific road-crossings and cautions - and I had a wonderful adventure! None of this would have happened at a big chain motel. The cross-breeze in my room was lovely. The management had even set up chairs down by the creek, giving me a magical setting for reading. And the proprietor directed me to his favorite grocery store and Thai restaurant. I lacked for nothing!

We had a spur of the moment trip to Monroe and booked this motel. From the outside it looks like an old fashioned mom n pop motel, but the inside has been all redone. It matches some luxury suites we have stayed in! Very clean, comfortable beds, and the back sliding door opens onto a patio with a creek and woods behind. Near the city you will still hear some traffic and trains, but overall pretty quiet. Tammy was very kind to help us after a mix up with our reservation dates. Definitely recommend you try Monroe Motel!

We had our small dog with us and they didn't charge us if we had a kennel, which I thought was very flexible. The room was very large and spacious. It had a sliding door with a big grassy area in the back which was convenient for our dog. In the summer I imagine its beautiful as there is a river that runs along the back of the property. The beds were very comfortable and the room and bathroom seemed very clean.

The room was freezing when we arrived, but we booked only a few hours before arrival. We turned on the heat and left for dinner when we got back it was very warm. Our dog was sniffing the carpet quite a bit, which might of meant there had been some accidents or spills in the room. The television was small in reference to the room size and it was very dark. I tried to adjust the brightness, but the controls were locked and I didn't want to bother the front desk. I could hardly see it from the bed and it was a shame as they had HBO :) Also, have the cleaning staff look behind the T.V. quite a bit of junk on the floor. Overall very clean room though!

No breakfast. Convenient location to Evergreen State Fairgrounds. Comfortable beds! Very clean. Sofa and chair to sit on and look out the sliding glass door out back to the river! Beautiful!

Clouds of ganja coming from the house/office, PM and AM. (sorry - it's very pungent!)

The room was even better than what we were expecting, every encounter with staff was great everyone was so nice and helpful. Would definitely book again for our next trip to Monroe.

Wasn't anything I could complain about.

The property was older, but well maintained. Large and comfortable rooms, everything worked, no problems. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Enjoyed my stay.

the size of the room and the back yard to the creek

honestly, I understood, but I hated the window, ringing the bell and they never showed up or it took forever.

Clean and quiet. We picked a VERY hot weekend to visit and the rooms have no AC. The staff was amazing and put 2 box fans in each room and advised the best way to cool down :) Loved the creek behind the motel. It was a peaceful sound and brought cool air in the evening.

Marlyn Monroe aka Monroe Motel excellent customer service clean neat tidy room. Beautiful naturery location and quiet. And I will always come to this paradise motel. Five out of five for everything.
