Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Office staff was rude; they seemed bothered when we requested any kind of assistance. The refrigerator in our room was making a loud noise all the time, and at night it was very hard to get some rest. They did not offer decaffeinated coffee. However, housekeeping staff was super nice, Maria smiled and said hello as soon as she saw us coming. I will not be staying in this hotel again, I do not recommend.

The interior of the hotel is delightful with many skylights showering an indoor garden with light. Each room has a balcony. The pool is in an interior courtyard, shielding it from the wind, also a hot tub. Location is in a quiet neighborhood. Breakfast was generous with oatmeal, bagels, muffins, fruit, etc. Would stay there again!!

Our room was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the fireplace, it made the cool evenings very cozy. The continental breakfast is generous and served for a good period of time (we are not the earliest risers!). It saved us a lot of money that we put toward nice dinners out. This is our second visit to the Monarch Resort and we'll definitely be back.
