Monarch Cove Inn

Beautiful setting away from the main streets. Staff all excellent! Out room could use an update especially the bathroom.

Great

The bed and pillows were great. Slept so nicely. The heater blew hot and nice. Water pressure strong and hot. Room was very clean. Staff was friendly. Walking around the property you see a beautiful ocean view. Felt great relaxing and listening to the ocean from our room.

Beautiful setting, lovely people. Building needs a little work but rooms are lovely. We loved it here!

We stayed in the Lilac Room which had an amazing view of the ocean! Property had some storm damage but can't wait to see it when repaired. Beautiful spot.

Friendly, unobtrusive service. Gorgeous setting and comfortable room, could not ask for more!

Easy check-in, lady was very pleasant. The grounds are very appealing and the room was quaint and cozy. Easy access to everything, if you plan at least a month in advance, you can eat at Shadowbrook restaurant. They can pick you up in a 50's taxi. I just would like to see the rug steam cleaned, kinda stinky, not a big deal though.

Monarch Cove Inn: Comfortable, and quiet, spacious but cozy. A B&B -but you breakfast privately at your dining table or on balcony at your requested time. A generous Continental breakfast offers a pitcher of hot, strong French roast, very fresh fruit cocktail, juice, pastries from the famous local bakery hangout, ***les, plus! the best bagel (with cream cheese if you like) I've never had in California. The Inn is located in a beachy residential neighborhood cul de sac cliffside above the misty blue Monterey Bay. There are extensive pathways through gardens, past fountains, eucalyptus grove, and monarch butterfly habitant. A room layout map can be found among the photos on the Inn's website, where you can spot rooms with balconies and unobstructed bay/ocean views. Decor is romantic but unfutzy Victorian, designed with an eye for color, detail and comfort. There are loads of photos on the Inn website, which capture its ambiance. As do the ones here on Trip Advisor. Eg., creative small touches include breakfast tray napkins match individual room decor. Service in all respects, including especially office/reception and housekeeping is perfect. Attentive, thoughtful and individualized but never intrusive. The pleasant staff seem happy to be there and to help you. The property and rooms are immaculate, including older bathrooms. I stayed for the first time in March and am going again mid-April for my third visit. A mini-vacation. Lilac was my first room. It's on a corner with full-on ocean views through tall front and corner windows. Spacious. There is a private balcony facing the ocean with a white wrought iron table and chairs. The older bathroom is well-stocked with towels. There are extra blankets and pillows. No one was in the next room, so utter quiet except for ocean whispers and bird song.

It's well-appointed with new upholstery and what felt like real silk bedcovers, pillows, tablecloth topped by glass, window trea**ents, and a newly painted bathroom. There is an iron, board, and hairdryer. If you compare photos on this and other travel sites to the Inn's website photos, you will see Victorian Room was recently freshened. The cold, heavily pouring rain night I arrived, flashlight and sodden map in hand, my spacious room was already nicely warmed by two small modern and efficient space heaters. I'm coming again mid-April to Monarch Grove Room. Its theme is fluffy valentine. But its reviews are great. Will report b

Pretty place, nice place to stay.
