Monarch Bay hotel guide. Independent hotel in Monarch Bay, Dana Point

"Great location - right on the harbor. I only had a 5 minute drive to the harbor for a family boat trip."

"Extremely friendly and helpful staff!!"

"The place is a cute facility. Staff kind. King size rooms very comfy. Close to freeways and restaurants."

"Geographic location is fine if you are okay staying away from more congested areas (e.g. Disneyland); however, you do need a car to travel from location to location. Adjacent Avis/Budget rental facility was super helpful. Check that your tub & toilet drain and flush properly. Ours did not and we had to call the front desk for it to be serviced. Be sure to tip cooking staff. They worked hard to provide fresh food and serve it efficiently. "

"This was a cute hotel it had a comfortable setting and was quiet. It was definitely overpriced. I would have stayed longer. If it wasn’t the price that I had paid. Staff was nice. The parking was unreasonable at $25 a night per vehicle when we had three cars other than that it was a nice place. "

"Breakfast menu was fresh. Front desk was very helpful. Room I was assigned to, Tv and phone did not work. When ask to move rooms there was no fuss! Balcony view ended up being in front of the building units. Housekeeping was attending every other day not every day. "

"More or less great place to stay except the front desk staff are way too busy to acknowledge or talk to you, all the time. And no water bottles in the rooms. I can’t imagine why not. Everything else was pretty good including the breakfast and room service. They could use some newer towels since the ones in circulation while clean, are a bit worse for wear. "

"Less light on the outside premises "

"Carpets in the hallways and room was dirty and needs to be removed or replaced, the windows in the room are dirty inside and outside , generally ran down and need of a refresh "
