Rude front desk: here, sign this. What am I signing? Read it! Rez was 2 people/4 days. One bath towel was all we had! Unacceptable! Continental breakfast was a sugar/carbo explosion 💥 Yogurt was all flavored (sugar)Oatmeal was flavored (sugar). Baked products were all white flour! Where’s the Greek yogurt or whole wheat/whole grain bread? The only protein was cold/super dry hard boiled eggs. Inedible! The room and bedding reeked of soot from the ancient fireplace. Our hair and clothes began smelling like we had been at a campfire. Unhealthy and uninhabitable The TV offered no option to download an app. The channels were limited and the picture was fuzzy- Unwatchable! The Wi-Fi only offered 1 bar of service. Could not make a phone call from our room! We left a day early. Waste of time/Waste of money! How does this qualify as a recommended 8.2 property? No way!

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.

Property near the ocean and handy to downtown Monterey. Probably very nice at one time, but needs updating. Plenty of parking. Needs more outlets for charging, electronics, etc. "Continental Breakfast" was much nicer than we expected including eggs, fresh fruit, delicious pastries.

The hotel was clean with good parking. Unfortunately, the beds terribly outdated and worn, which caused me and my wife to not get a good nights sleep, along with aches and pains. The room nor have air conditioning which caused a couple hot nights sleeping. If the beds are updated, it would have been a great stay.

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!! ◡̈

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.
