Great location
Front desk was fast and friendly check in. The room was spacious with a comfy bed. We enjoyed the fireplace in the room, one log is complementary. Great amenities from the pool, hot tub and the breakfast in the morning was a plus. Close to downtown, the beach and more. I will totally recommend.

Great hotel in Pacific Grove
Clean, comfortable well located hotel. The breakfast was good, Eggs, fruit, yogurt, croissants, milk, OJ and good coffee. They had instant oatmeal, would have liked plain instead of only the sugary ones and dry cereal would’ve been a good option. Otherwise the breakfast was good. We would stay again.

Family stay
We stayed here for a nights. The only issue we had was the mattress springs seemed to have had it. We did sleep but the bed wasn't that great. Staff very helpful and polite.

Peaceful retreat
We were quite pleased with our stay. Nothing fancy, but comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room and public areas were very clean and had everything we needed. Microwave, frig, coffee pot and the towels and linen were perfect. The breakfast room was clean with seating inside or outside overlooking the pool area. Parking was easy. The hotel was in the best location for us, close to a golf course and not far from the bay or downtown. We will return the next time we are in that area.

Lovely Resort
My friend and I had a delightful stay at Monarch Resort. Our room was comfortable and clean. I loved the fireplace in the room with the Duraflame fire log. They gave us a log for each night. The hot tub was hot and clean. The complementary breakfast was awesome: fresh croissants and muffins, boiled eggs and fruit, hot coffee and tea. The greenery and dolphin statues inside the hotel added to its charm. We will be coming back.

Conveniently located and VERY quiet. Rooms are outdated but roomy, and the beds are super comfy! Having coffee and pastries in the morning is a nice addition that not many other places include. Can’t beat the price.

Convenient location
Quiet neighborhood, parking was close to the door. Had an elevator, which many other hotels nearby did not. Hot tub and sauna felt good after walking all day. Near the lighthouse, aquarium and restaurants. Fresh squeezed orange juice and continental breakfast of muffins, bagels, boiled eggs, instant oatmeal, etc. Refrigerator and microwave in room.
