We stayed in Monarch with two other couples. Our room had a fireplace and a balcony, was very clean, and the king size bed was comfortable. Breakfast was simple. We asked for an extended stay (on a very busy Sunday), and the manager did her best helping to accommodate us in a non-smoking room. They also have a small heated... More

Having lived in Monterey for 15 years, a part of our hearts remain. So every year in the month of May we travel back to celebrate our wedding anniversary (33rd this year). May is when The Pinks (iceplant) are in bloom along the Monterey Bay/Pacific Grove Ocean View Blvd. Traveling along the blvd. from Pacific Grove toward Monterey you will... More

Last-minute trip down the coast. This place is definitely NOT a resort, but for $100 compared to staying in Carmel for $250, it was really a great deal. Our room had a fireplace and a balcony, was very clean, and the bed was comfy. Furnishings are dated, but not completely ridiculous. Really can't complain at the price when it's a... More

Their website claims to sell Aquarium tickets at 2010 prices for $29.95 but DON'T. They will NOT honor their website price but instead charge you $34.95 same price as the Aquarium. Manager Roxanne said they don't care what their website states they paid $32.95 so she is selling them for $34.95. Bad customer service!!!!!!!

My husband and I stayed here in the beginning of May 2013. We stayed for two nights, over a Monday and Tuesday and paid around $91 (after taxes) through priceline.com. The location is good, but it's not right in the middle of things in Monterey that most people want to go to, so you'll want to have a car if... More

This is where we stay when we want to visit the Monterey area for a few days. It is not fancy, but it is very pleasant and in a quiet area, but a short drive to all the attractions. We have never had a problem and the price is reasonable for Monterey. We don't use the pool or sauna, so... More

We mistakenly booked this hotel for the wrong date via an online hotel website. The staff at Monarch (Roxanne & Fred) went out of their way to straighten out the problem and at no additional charge to us. We were quite grateful and thankful for their helpfulness. Roxanne even suggested some local attractions that we might be interested in. Hotel... More

We have stayed in Pacific Grove many times and have stayed at several of the hotels in this area. All are similar. The location is great for walks to the beach but you will need your car to get to dinner. Monarch is a bit dated but our room was clean, spacious and surprisingly quiet given the number of families... More

First off ..... I booked the Monarch Hotel on Booking.com. We had a choice between a 2-queen room at 312 sq. ft and a 2-queen room at 400 sq. ft. We opted for the 400 sq. ft because we wanted the extra floor/room space for our kids. It cost a little bit more, but that was fine with us. WELL,... More
