Incredible breakfast and wonderful staff. No longer easy access to ocean as storms took path away. Older property with creaks and uneven floors. Quiet setting.

Great stay at this little gem

We took a last-minute trip to Capitola and booked a room at this Inn. The room was spacious and adorable and the beds were really comfortable. The office staff are incredibly sweet and accommodating. The morning breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend.

The Victoria room has a beautiful bay view. The garden is so romantic. I like the plants , the fountains, the statues and the lovers seat outside on the front porch. There are many little spots you can take beautiful selfies. It was so quiet. I like the interior decoration, especially the fantastic electric fireplace. The linen is okay. I had a good sleep. The only thing needs to improve is the exhausting fan over the toilet didn't work. The tv was not working either but we stay only a short time so it was actually a good thing not to watch tv. Overall, we had a very good memory at this place, the place is romantic, fantastic, convenience. We would come back again and try the other rooms which also have the ocean view.

This place is absolutely perfect. The room felt so cozy and it smelled clean. The property is beautiful and enamoring. The woman that runs the office was amazing and i enjoyed learning about the life cycle of the Monarchs from her. I will be back, for sure. The pastries and fruit delivered to my room every morning were delightful and i would recommend this place to everyone i know!

Amazing Monarch Cove Inn

The manager is extremely friendly and shows us the Monarch Butterflies and its metamorphosis process. Very interesting! The place is lovely overlooking the ocean and we can actually see the whales. Amazing! We love it and will definitely come back again!

The hotel is very old and outdated. The carpet was very old and dirty. There were cobwebs on the ceiling. The breakfast was not tasty and was for one person, not two. The area around the hotel was nice.
