Peaceful retreat

We were quite pleased with our stay. Nothing fancy, but comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room and public areas were very clean and had everything we needed. Microwave, frig, coffee pot and the towels and linen were perfect. The breakfast room was clean with seating inside or outside overlooking the pool area. Parking was easy. The hotel was in the best location for us, close to a golf course and not far from the bay or downtown. We will return the next time we are in that area.

Peaceful location. Easy walking distance to the coastline beaches & lookouts. The Pacific Grove path through the dunes is great. Easy parking. The bed linens are subpar - skimpy thin blankets & a very slippery bedspread. Towels are great. Caution: there is a fun casual restaurant Lucy's across the street - hot dogs any way you want! But there is music over speakers outside & & sometimes a live band outside. They close at 7pm so not disruptive.

Great hotel in Pacific Grove

Clean, comfortable well located hotel. The breakfast was good, Eggs, fruit, yogurt, croissants, milk, OJ and good coffee. They had instant oatmeal, would have liked plain instead of only the sugary ones and dry cereal would’ve been a good option. Otherwise the breakfast was good. We would stay again.

We had a last minute cancellation for other accommodations for a week in Pacific Grove. Monarch was able to accommodate us for a week. We definitely like the suite with the separate bedroom. The front staff was so helpful and pleasant! Easy to walk into PG for shopping and meals. Ocean is very walkable! Will stay here again!

Nice place. Clean, comfortable, mostly quiet. Some kid was playing in the pool at around 7:30 in the morning. But that's more the parents fault for not keeping their kids volume at a reasonable level. But also, kids are kids. It's fine.
