Our first time staying here and we will NEVER stay here again! First, the front desk clerk Maria called to tell me my credit card was declined. She said that this was my problem and for me to call my bank! I had to conference in Maria, with my bank on the phone for verification, only to find out they... More

Terrific price. Large enough, clean enough, comfortable enough. Would stay again! Just down the street from butterfly grove. Highly recommended. Nothing special, but just fine. Beats motel row in Monterey any day! Go have a great dinner somewhere with all the money you save. More

We had a very nice stay. We needed a reasonably priced, clean & quiet spot, located near everything we wanted to see and do. The Monarch Resort fit the bill perfectly! The room was large and spacious. The breakfast was enough to give us a good start to the day. The microwave and fridge in the room was an added... More

This was surprisingly nice in every way, especially for $70. The room was large, clean, and nice, with a fireplace and a log to burn. Free bottled water was provided. The front desk person that night was exceptionally friendly. The breakfast was adequate, though not lavish; if many people were staying there, the tiny breakfast room with three tables would... More

We have stayed at several Best Western hotels for many years, each are so unique and yet the same. (I don't call it a resort because it isn't but that's a very minor refraction.) But this Monarch Best Western in our minds is definately a cut above the others and not because of it's conveniences but because we were impressed... More

During our holiday in California, we intend to spend some days in Monetrey area, where every structure seems quite expensive (with respect to other previous locations). Eventually we chose this hotel and I can say we're satisfied: rooms are perfect, position is very good, near the beautiful seaside and few miles from Monterey centre. Only one defect, the breakfast: just... More

All hotel studies point to the number one item guest look for when they travel is " A Clean Room". We dotake pride in our staff for making that happen and so happy we earned your valued comment. We also understand that your lodging dollars are important as well as your time. Thank you for the review. More

Found the place to be clean, look nice, and smell good, but the staff were not friendly, made several rude comments to me, and were very unhospitable after a four hour drive. More

Ouch, We missed the mark. I feel a business can do 99% things correct, yet if we fail to provide Face to Face service we have failed in all areas. Please forgive us, We can only pray that you will give us another try. More

We stayed one night and had a room with a fireplace and the romm itself was very spacious with a comfortable bed.. The place was good value as it was a low price and obviously not many people staying there as only a few cars in the garage. It is close to the lighthouse and a good golf course is... More
