Just right

Last minute get away, found this place for a reasonable (for the area) rate and booked it. No regrets. Pacific Grove is a lovely, walkable community. The room is a bit dated, but very clean, water pressure good, bed was ok, ample parking on site. Just what we needed, as our main focus was to explore the area. Walked to the lighthouse, John Denver memorial, down around Ocean Dr.,and back up to Lighthouse Ave. to grab a bite.(Red House Cafe!!) Monarch Resort has a friendly, welcoming front desk and just what you need for breakfast to head out on your way for the day. Will book again!! ◡̈

Location is everything

Nice place with great access to the coast. Bicycles were welcome. Continental breakfast got us going. The room was neat and clean. Elevators nearby. Hot tub was warm and the pool cool. Tub did not blow air. No drying towels found poolside. Covered parking. A great stay.

Teresita, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Liked the option of a separate bedroom from the dining and kitchen; our suite had two tvs and two fireplaces and complimentary presto logs for fireplaces; easy walk to the beach; free parking was good; rooms were a little dated but still ok and clean; staff were friendly; safe neighborhood; lots of restaurant options about a mile away from resort and two miles from Aquarium and Cannery Row.

Sauna, Hot Tub, Fireplace

Another review said something about there being a hot tub, heated pool, sauna, and an in room fireplace. Yep and yep. The place reminds me of an “old person’s home” from an 80’s movie. It’s a little dated but the lack of modernity doesn’t make it any less cozy and comfortable. It could use an upgrade with breakfast. While the boiled eggs were hot, there was no cereal. Variety of bagels, yes. Variety of milk, no. Honey for your tea, yes. Decaf or herbal tea, no.
shelly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I booked a room with fireplace and there was no fireplace in the room which was disappointing.. I wanted to use the hot tub outside but they were in the process of cleaning it. I wish they would have cleaned it during hours that the area is closed. The hotel is a little outdated but it is quaint. I would have booked a different hotel knowing the hot tub wouldn’t be in service and that i would receive a room without a fireplace which initially had attracted me to this resort.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Monarch Resort and plan to return. The space was quiet and clean. Highlights from our stay included a fireplace and heater, close walking distance to the beach, and free breakfast.
