Peaceful location. Easy walking distance to the coastline beaches & lookouts. The Pacific Grove path through the dunes is great. Easy parking. The bed linens are subpar - skimpy thin blankets & a very slippery bedspread. Towels are great. Caution: there is a fun casual restaurant Lucy's across the street - hot dogs any way you want! But there is music over speakers outside & & sometimes a live band outside. They close at 7pm so not disruptive.

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.

We had a last minute cancellation for other accommodations for a week in Pacific Grove. Monarch was able to accommodate us for a week. We definitely like the suite with the separate bedroom. The front staff was so helpful and pleasant! Easy to walk into PG for shopping and meals. Ocean is very walkable! Will stay here again!

Nice place. Clean, comfortable, mostly quiet. Some kid was playing in the pool at around 7:30 in the morning. But that's more the parents fault for not keeping their kids volume at a reasonable level. But also, kids are kids. It's fine.

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.

We enjoyed our stay, if you stay near the pool it can be loud if you’re sensitive to that kind of thing. The pool closes at 9 but people were still there pretty loud until 9:45. Otherwise it was a nice place with very friendly staff.

We liked our room and it's cleanliness. The staff was attentive. Unfortunately, one of the mattresses in our room was very uncomfortable. We had to sleep on the opposite side of the bed in order to get some sleep.

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.
