View, Hospitality, and Cute Place

The staff was great first of all. Katrina was just wonderful. Very helpful, friendly,informative, and really detailed. The place was beautiful. With an amazing view. Even got some dolphin and whale watching done. Just a very cute place different that’s the big hotel chains. Made the experience a very memorable one.

10/10 Exceptional

Breakfast had nice variety but the pastries were a bit hard. Bagel and fruit were good. We're not coffee drinkers but did make tea with the coffee machine (wasnt sure how it worked but figured it out). Room was clean, pretty, quiet and very private we could hear ppl walking above us but it wasn't too bad. Staff was great. Katrina gave us a little lesson on monarchs when we were checking in. She was kind to wait for our late arrival (accident on freeway). Cleaning staff were sweet and respectful of privacy. A nice getaway and would definitely come back, if opportunity arises Thank you!!

Our stay at Monarch Inn was very nice. Everything was clean, excellent customer service and was given a complimentary upgrade which was wonderful! Only downfall I’d say rooms do need upgrading.

Amazing Monarch Cove Inn

The manager is extremely friendly and shows us the Monarch Butterflies and its metamorphosis process. Very interesting! The place is lovely overlooking the ocean and we can actually see the whales. Amazing! We love it and will definitely come back again!
