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

"The breakfast is terrible. The cleaning terrible customer service is terrible."

"Yes"

"Very run down and uncomfortably gross room. Similar to a poorly maintained college dorm. But, on the ocean, so I guess that’s why they can charge $600/night (incl $45 per night mandatory valet parking and $30 nightly bs amenities fee). I certainly would not stay here again and suggest you spend a few dollars more for a different hotel or just stay inland and walk a few minutes to the beach."

"The building outside when we arrive looks okay needs to be updated.There was barely any parking options . The staff was very kind and approachable. The inside looks okay you can see they are trying to keep up. The room had a smell we try to put the AC on to ventilate, but unfortunately it was not working. Throughout our the stay we had to had the balcony open door to get ventilation . Our room needed to be updated the bathroom door wouldn’t close right . The floor the walls all needs to be remodel / updated. Breakfast was good they have portions . "

"Parking is free and easy, conveniently located to the rooms. Property feels fresh and clean."

"Food very overpriced, dance competition there till 2:30 , yet kicked us out at 12! , bathroom very small and outdated , bed not comfortable "

"Remarkable value for money. Friendly staff. Very nice pool area. "

"A great stay with quiet vibe. The restaurant should not be overlooked! Every interaction with the staff was really great."

"room was clean, the staff was very nice, breakfast had a few options. the view of the beach from the hotel was unbelievable, was able to extend my stay with ease as well! will definitely be staying here for a 3rd time next summer "
