My room was very clean.
Could use longer matches to lite the fireplace log.
Really missed a coffee pot in the room. Want a Hot cup early in the a.m. while still in P.J.'s
If you had to pay extra ($5.00 or less) to have to arrange for a coffee set up to be in your room, it would be worth it.
I would stay there again, but actually seldom stay at facilities anymore.

The property is clean, you can see the gardeners cleaning outside. The front desk was nice, we were given a paper with all the information of the hotel. The continental breakfast was nice, very simple, but with great flavor. They boil eggs, so if you have kids, be careful. Waffle maker made thick fluffy 1 or 4 piece waffles. Then there's a toast area with bagels and bread. Another table has yogurt and oatmeal options. Bananas and apples were an option. The best machine was their coffee machine! They had a soo many options! I loved it! The sauna was spacious, direct access to the outdoor pool and hot tub. The heated pool wasn't warm, but definitely not cold. The second day they were draining the hot tub so we were unable to use it.
Our only complaint was the morning cleaning staff. She was outside our door on her phone for about 10 minutes, when we asked for towels, she sent us to the front desk. Front desk was more helpful and nice.

The pool and hot tub were great! The breakfast was good before starting our day. The only complaint we had was the people above us were super loud throughout the 1st night but after they left the next night was so much better. We would definitely like to stay at this hotel again but try to get a second floor room.

The Monarch Resort was a wonderful find. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and nicely decorated. I love the trees in the hallways. Our room was clean. But my favorite part was the shower. It was perfect. The shower and pillows are very important to me. Water pressure in the shower and confidant pillows. The Monarch hit all the marks.
Hubby and I like to find hotels we will return to each time we go to an area. This will be our PG location.
And across from a great hot dog place... perfect!!!

We reserved two queen beds with balcony and got two full beds no balcony. The bedding was for king size beds, not fitted correctly at all. Hotel wouldn’t switch us rooms cause we sat on bed and they didn’t have anyone to clean room. Took a long time to get information while we sat on floor in hotel. Room was super clean and smelt good, breakfast was good, Coffee machine is super slow for how many guests they have.
I love the location and just wish they would list their rooms accordingly.

Great location in Pacfic Grove. The hotel is older and you can tell. But the rooms are clean (they could use some towel replacing). Their breakfast doesnt start until 7:30, which was unfortunate for those who have earlier mornings. Overall its a clean and pretty quiet hotel, in a great location.

Unfortunately, this stay was disappointing. The room I received looked nothing like the photos on the listing, and I was assigned a twin-bed room instead of the room I expected. I raised the issue, but no satisfactory solution was offered. I chose this property based on the advertised images, so the difference felt misleading. I would not have booked had I known the actual room would be so different.

Do not stay on the first floor or at least not in room 123. We heard the upstairs guests’ foot steps, hacking, bed squeaking, water running, and toilet flushing! Other than that, room was clean and staff was nice. Breakfast was as expected for being continental.

Nice hotel within walking distance of Asilomar Beach and Point Pinos Lighthouse, and for active folks also walkable to downtown Pacific Grove. My room was nice, spacious and clean. Plenty of parking as well.

I would rate the breakfast selection as average. Waffles, hard boiled eggs, bagels, juice and coffee.

The day I arrived there was trash in the covered parking area that wasn’t picked up for several days.

Overall I would rate Monarch Resort as a 4 out of 5.

Great place to stay. It has an old charm to it like the furniture and structure, but also new amenities. Beds were comfortable and parking was easy. Breakfast was good with a decent variety of waffles, baggies, yogurt, eggs, and drinks. Location was perfect, right around where we wanted to go and was very beautiful. Would stay there again.

The staff were super helpful and friendly. The hotel was nice, clean, safe, and in a very centric location that was at walking distance to the beach and some stores and restaurants. The breakfast was good as well. The only reason why I don’t give it 5 stars is because it’s a little outdated and the carpet was a little stained and dirty but would definitely stay there again 😉

Likes: plenty of parking. Patio door that opens all the way allowing fresh air. Microwave and fridge. The hotel was quiet.
Dislikes: the fireplace is not electric. There is one duraflame for use. There was no coffee maker so I went to the breakfast room and that machine was broken. So I went to the front desk and said, “Shouldn’t there be a coffeemaker in my room?” She said we have to ask for one and that there weren’t any left. She did end up locating one and brought it to my room

This place was nice overall. A little dated but very clean. The staff was VERY friendly. The hot tub and pool areas were very clean and well maintained.
The only bummer was our room wasn’t ready at check in time. I was very tired from a long drive so it was a bit annoying to have to wait another hour to check in, cutting into what I paid for.

Clean rooms, I purchased 2 for 4days . Nice fireplace in each room . Hot shower , strong stream, fast draining. Breakfast is okay, starts at 7:30 . They have a new robot coffee machine, it is a little slow. But it can make you every type of coffee . Friendly kitchen staff , that ensures there is plenty of food out for customers. I have stayed here over 6 times and it has always been constant.

Room was relatively clean. Some mold around the tub. Room had coffee cups but no coffee maker. Had to ask for one from front desk. This was case for two rooms. One room did not have enough towels for two people. Front desk staff was excellent. Very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast did not look inviting. We ate elsewhere. If room faces Lighthouse St, there will be music from Lucy’s across the street for a couple hours. We enjoyed it.
Walk to ocean was close and enjoyable.

A well maintained older hotel, we enjoyed our brief stay. Our room was comfortable with a fireplace, bed and pillows were comfortable and I liked having a sliding door with small balcony. The breakfast was very basic so we opted to go out for a heartier breakfast, also we needed gluten free options but they did offer hard boiled eggs, bagels and toast, make your own waffles and cereal. Overall I would choose this hotel again.

The room was clean but the common things in a room of this price were not available. The curtains could not be opened or closed because they were off their runners. The pictures in the wall had been taken down and the accoutrements that held them up were still hanging off the wall. There was no coffee pot.

I grew up in PG so this was a classic reminder of life in the 70's - I appreciated the old-timey fixtures and the fireplace with log : ) The staff were friendly, and very nice at breakfast, though what was on offer was a bit rustic for the modern traveler.


One note re: cleanliness - the curtains (especially the thinner ones) seemed to have not been cleaned/washed since...well, the 70's! I was able to laugh about it a bit since it matched the retro vibe, but it was a bit disconcerting...

The rooms are very outdated. There were no comforters on the bed and had to ask the front desk for blankets. The TV was so small and there was nothing but old TV shows available. Would be nice to have other services available. The guest room doors slam hard and often! It was very loud and annoying! The staff was helpful for the most part when in need of something but we were there when a big change of management was happening, which was obviously an issue for some of the staff. Good location. Over all, it was doable, but would not stay again.

I just recommend getting to breakfast early as you might need to wait in line a bit for the coffee machine, for my fellow caffeine hounds. Great location with a funky hot dog/ice cream place across the street (Lucy's) and just blocks from the ocean. I plan to return!
