This year the Fairmont still had rooms available. No cancellations, no refunds. Min. 4 night stay. Min. $3k/night. I am heading to the Fairmont next month - rooms are $500/night.
Just to give you perspective of the price difference during F1 week.

Were you there this year? In 2010 when we attended the trains were shut down into Monte Carlo. We ended up taking a bus from Nice no problems but we had to do our own research and find the bus on our own.
Do youself a favor and buy good tickets. They're not cheap but we got general admission tickets for Sector Rocher and did not get there early enough to find a spot on the side of the hill with a view worth a darn. Even though we could not stay for the finish of the race I would have gladly paid for better seats had I know how bad the view was going to be up there.
None the less I was able to sneak down near the grid for the start of the race and it is something I'll never forget. I saw F1 in Indy but it was nothing like the atmosphere of Monaco.

In any case, I echo the advice to buy good tickets. I wrote up a little bit about our trip in response to a similar question over on bimmerforums here: scroll down for post by "vik". Hope some of that helps...it was definitely one of the highlights of my life thus far!
