Montclair Place

No wifi in the mall. The only wifi you can get is at select stores, like at JC Penny and sears. it has slow speeds; like 100kbps. The fastest Wifi i was able to get was near the T mobile kiosk near the food court (around 2mbps). Even though there is a quite a bit of parking at this mall, a-​holes accelerate like if it is the only parking spot in the entire mall. This mall tends to be somewhat empty; gee, i wonder why. I only come to this mall because there are quite a few shoe stores.

Come here if you’re looking for shoes! There’s a bunch of shoe stores located at the Montclair mall, for men and women.
I feel like this place mainly caters to girls though as most of their clothing stores are for younger women/​high school girls. They have a Rue21 also, which I had never seen before since they have so few storefronts. But they have cute clothes for girls.
The worst part of this mall is their lacking food court! They used to have a Sbarros, Taco Bell and a McDonald’s! I loved coming here. Now the food court is replaced with small no name places. Also, I’d say about 30% of the mall is empty spaces and another 30% of the remaining stores are stores that just don’t belong in a mall.
The only reason I come to this mall is for Papaya clothing since they closed their location in Ontario Mills. Or if I am looking for shoes since there are many places to choose from.
Too bad they can’t get this place up and running again. I like that it’s never really packed like at Victoria gardens or Ontario mills. It would be a nice mall if they could remodel the place and add better stores.

The deals are okay but the last time I went in I had a bad experience with a couple of the employees rude girl who need to get fired.

Heaven help us, …typical of the I.E., this mall is listed COMPLETELY beneath an incorrect pseudonym.
For those that actually «know the area», as opposed to its alias on Unilocal as «Montclair Place», …Montclair –Plaza – , located just off of the 10 freeway (between the Central and Monte Vista exits), is your relative run of the mill mall for neighborhood locals; no pun intended to Ontario Mills, located a good 10 minutes away within the city of Ontario.
As the 1^st indoor mall within San Bernardino County, this particular and ‘former’ retail haven is displaying growing pains and gray hairs and I can’t allege it to be aging all that gracefully.
While home to Nordstrom, …as well as the former resting place for Macy’s (previously Robinsons-​May), Sears, Penney’s, and a host of other «headliners», this shopping center was initially your ONE STOP SHOP, that is…
— - — - UNTIL VICTORIA GARDENS stepped onto the scene and SHUT IT COMPLETELY DOWN!
Conveying more of an upscale retail experience (despite not possessing a Nordstrom, Neiman’s or Bloomingdale’s) — Victoria Gardens wafts off an atmosphere reminiscent of The Grove (of Los Angeles), rendering this dated icon virtually obsolete.
I tend to stop off for just that reason as getting in and back out are NEVER not an option!
As of larger malls, displaying a plethora of options for Cali’s «must have» shoppers, this place has personified the vibe of being somewhat of a ghost town. The only actual places worth driving to simply to patronage would be Nordstrom (not found within either of the aforementioned locations) as well as Sephora, H&M and FYE (For Your Entertainment), offering those hard to locate cds, DVD’s and Blu-​Rays.
Alas, in 2016′ that’s what Amazon and Netflix are both for so as I proceed, I’m deducting yet another star, mid review.

Parking — as of most Inland Empire venues is FUR-​REEEEEE and Lord have mercy, with all of the crickets chirping within this place is it abundant!!!
This leads me to my ever so humble and simple recommendation.
Provided you’re actually in search of something — — – take the time,…drive that extra mile and visit the Mills, Victoria Gardens or hell, hop onto the 57 and give Brea Mall a go.
LET THE COUNTDOWN COMMENCE:
This «plaza» is soon to be nothing short of a swap meet and will likely serve no other purpose than to commence a mid-​morning jog within… all the while local skateboarders practice their kick flips and nose-​slides from the confines of the empty parking lot — -

Not open on Christmas Day but said it was on the hours

This place is pretty good, clean, and lots of stores but unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a location where they sale juice with boba.

I like this place, not the mad house that is Ontario mills, kinda older but I like this place.

Descent mall, but not worth going out of your way for.
While it is clean and not as full as other malls in the area, they just don’t really have any stores I like, H&M would be the highlight.
Tons of easy parking, the mall is huge, you can easily spend a few hours here.
Good to kill some time on a rainy day, but not worth rushing back to.

Will always love this mall. Almost never gets too crowded and had a good selection of shops. It was getting a little empty a few years ago but it looks like business is picking up again.
Parking is almost never a problem.

If you want to avoid crowds come here! The food court is lacking but if you like to shop without other people stepping on your feet and sweeping up all of the merchandise then shop here! Been coming here since I was a teenager and I love it for all my needs! PS, the Sephora inside JC Penney is awesome! Clean and fully stocked!

Had a horrible Mexican women with Teenage boy IN THE WOMEN FITTING ROOM. This w**** & teenage boy and I told her to get him out of a woman’s fitting room and then I want to find the manager to get her ass out but she had already run like a wrap that she was

I like this mall. Good chain stores like macys, sears, jcpenny, nordsrom rack. Please BEWARE of those israelis working at the kiosk angels spa. They sell dead sea lotions and cosmetics that it is a total fraud and scam. I was robbed and scammed from one of the workers there. They harass you all the time. They are an ilicit organization. I have no idea why the montclair plaza management has these phonies working there. Here are references of what those phonies illegal activities.
Please avoid that kiosk, avoid being a victim of fraud

Growing up this place was the «cool» mall because it was far away and we didn’t get to visit it nearly as often as the other local malls.
However, it’s gone drastically down hill.
It’s a ghost town and a lot of the good stores have closed– Loft, Coach, Swarovski… it’s a shame.
I asked some of the store employees about it and was told that the mall was taken under new management in the fall and that they have «new visions» of revamping the place to make it a high-​end mall (which they did right before the recession…).
They said they want to build a movie theater (despite that two movie theaters within spitting distance of this place have both FAILED) and re-​do the exterior of the mall, and that in order to finance this and draw in «better» stores they’re increasing the mall shops rent by over 500% each place! WOW! That’s a shame.
This place is going to end up just like Victoria Gardens– a big vision by a poor new management who try to fix something that isn’t broken.
One time I went to drop off a friend to the Verizon store and in the closest parking lot (with the structure) were a bunch of young kids fighting and screaming out of car doors.
So much for «high end» when you look at the people this place attracts.
Besides– they closed the Loft and some run-​of-​the-​mill, $ 4 for a shirt, just like every other clothing store moved in.
Yeah, definitely not «high end.»
Even the food court here is totally empty.
If it weren’t for having four major department stores attached to keep this place running, it would’ve gone out of business years ago.
The new management in this place needs to go because they are single handedly running a local hotspot into the ground.

I know this mall has been around for ages, but I have yet to really walk through the entire place. This mall isn’t a busy place. I mainly come here for the mobile store or if I need to go to one of the department stores on the outside.
While coming here recently, I did notice that there are a lot more empty stores than there had been before.
It’s a decent local mall to go to if you don’t want to be in your typic mall crowd that you get at other large malls. As long as they have stores that have what I think I need, I’ll always come here.

This mall has really stepped up its game ever since Victoria Gardens & Ontario Mills was built. Before it was super ghetto and the there wasn’t that many stores to choose from, but now this place has better variety of stores. I like this mall because it’s the closest Nordstrom to me, and if I don’t find something at Body Basics in Ontario Mills I can come here. Also the forever is better here than the Victoria Gardens one. I have also worked at the Macy’s in this mall and even the department stores have changed which is good. They’re bringing in more stuff, and stepping up to beat the competition! You be surprised what you can find at this mall now; even though it’s not as big as Ontario Mills or Victoria Gardens.

When I was in highschool, this mall was the best! Now that im older and can drive, I realize this mall is kinda whack. Its pretty small compared to other local malls. I think this mall is for the younger crowd, you will see kids browsing with their backpacks on because there are a few schools within walking distance. Just typical teens killing time after school ya know? Theres not much in the area either. I would much rather go to West Covina mall, which is about 15 mins away heading west. Or the Ontario Mills which is about 10 mins away heading east. Oh yeah, their food court is really small as well.

I just don’t like this mall. I’ve tried but it’s just ghetto. The stores hire the worst employees. They are just rude and know nothing about customer service. It’s not clean and the caliber of people are just…

This is my favorite mall in the area. The Montclair plaza has all the stores you can want and its not overwhelming. The mall is clean and feels safe. I just wish it had more choices in the food court.

I enjoy going to this mall. I wish it had a Nike store but the Mills isnt too far from me either. Its a lot less crowed then the mills; which I can appreciate on days I have to shop around and rather not deal with a bunch of folks and trying to find parking.
Ive been to a lot of malls and with the remodeling recently done, Montclair plaza is one of the more nicer ones. A few empty shops since online shopping has been becoming a very huge competitor.
Food court seems to be getting smaller as well, but there are many other food options around the mall.

They removed the play area for kids… so sad!

This mall may be small but it is more than decent. It has all the relevant stores and prices. It’s what I expect from a mall. For some reason, I don’t like Victoria Gardens and Ontario Mills as much. Those venues seems to me irrelevant in styles and prices.
This place is always clean and it is just looks like your stereotypical mall! I love it.

A nice sized mall in the city of Montclair, comparable to the Brea Mall, and better than West Covina’s mall. It has everything you wanted, Express, Forever 21, H&M, Sears, Macy’s, JCPenney’s. They even had the standard Santa line as well :3 The environment here is really nice, along with the «Christmas feel» here. Parking here is also great, but can get confusing if you don’t understand the parking areas. Classy, to say the least. Only bad thing I saw was that their food court was smaller than usual.

Was here on «Black Friday» and it was not so crazy. The sales were just so-​so.
This is a weirdly shaped mall with all the regular stores, has a Nord, except I don’t think it has Forever 21, which is strange.
Lots and lots of families go here seemingly just to hang out on weekends. It is not unusual to see an entire family: Grannie, kids, aunties, everyone in a huge horde just meandering aimlessly. They WILL get in your way… just take a deep breath… and don’t be in a rush. One time I almost got absorbed into a family. Yeah its like that.
The restroom in Barnes and Noble is the one to use.
In this area, there really isn’t much to choose from unless you want to go down to West Co– they have Forever 21 and Nord Rack too.
