Top Seaside Hotel Reviews

Monarch Resort

Monarch Resort

8/10 Good
"Overall, it was a great experience. It is a cool, well-maintained hotel. The pool, spa and sauna were very clean and well kept. The room was spacious, quiet and comfortable. The location is near a trail that follows along the coastline, and is also walkable to the old town area. My one minor ding on it was that the breakfast was pretty mediocre - mostly bread/bagels/waffles. Despite that, I would definitely go back."

8/10 Good
"- Staff was nice and attentive, however they requested a $100 deposit for the room on TOP of my online reservation once I arrived, which I was told will be "given back in 6-7 business days." I imagine this is to prevent people from damaging the building so they can . - Room was clean, but had obvious maintenance issues. Caulk seals in the bathroom were missing and some of the tiles were cracked so there WILL be future mold from water. Air conditioning and heating was reasonable for the summer weather via a small wall mounted unit. - Parking is tight in the back, but reasonable in the front. You are fitting MAX a modern 1/2 ton sized truck, don't try anything bigger."
