The Yucatán Room Is Here!

After weeks of remodeling, we added a new room in March of this year in what was once the conference room here at MonteBello B&B Inn. It is the Yucatán Room. It features the vibrant colors of the tropics in it's décor. Since it is on the third floor, it receives a lot of light from its five windows, which makes the colors of the room stand out. The daylight makes it seem as if you were on the beach in the bright sunlight. If you are traveling our way, please stop by and take your well-deserved rest in this little slice of "sun, sand and ocean".

A note from Daphne and Jaime

MonteBello B&B Inn is now growing very rapidly, so it is time for us to fulfill our dream of expanding MonteBello's guest room and event space! In addition, after much time and planning, our efforts in creating the Latino Cultural Institute of the Midwest (LaCIM) have come to fruition with LaCIM being granted tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status. If you are interested in supporting either our dream of expanding MonteBello or helping us with LaCIM, please contact us at: 515-296-2181, info@montebellobandbinn.com. The LaCIM website is now up and running. The link to it is http://www.lacim.org.
