Monarch Resort

The room and the location is really nice! I would've liked a breakfast with more than bread and hard boiled eggs (maybe some scrambled eggs instead?), but overall it was a great stay! The staff is very accommodating and I really appreciated how flexible they were for my stay.

The location is everything about this place! I will never stay anywhere else but here when I go to Monterey. Super close to a bunch of hiking trails. It's also quiet and yet poppin. The hot dog spot across the street is totally a bonus. Plus the hot tub with complimentary towels is a super bonus! Loved all the live plants growing in the building.

Positive: Quiet location Negative: Rude maintenance man told me to get out of spa because I was 10 minutes early and then I couldn't get back in because of kids in it. I've never had this be an issue after staying here for our anniversary for over 15 years.

The rooms were OK nothing great and seemed clean but water waste could be avoided with newer toilet and shower valves. This non water waste had a sticker in the bathroom. The breakfast was serve yourself and very basic. The pool looked clean but the spa had an baby in it with a diaper on and the grown ups [parents?] didn't care but we did. All in all very pricey for what we got and the add on taxes/fees really kicked up the price...beware.

Old footprint managed with care. Above average breakfast for value pricing. Rooms included a fire place with log and a deck. Pool was heated in winter. Staff was above average. Highly recommend when price is right.
