Grandaughter Fun
My grandaughters and I really enjoyed the location of the Monarch Inn as well as the comfy beds and full kitchen where we could store our leftover pizza and keep our drinks cold. My grandaughter was so happy to bring her dog on thus trip.

I expected more based on the photos of the room I was booking. Apparently it was not available. Ours had tiny bathroom and it bothered me The rest was good and the area is beautiful.

We loved the location and staff! Our room, the hideaway room, was a little dated and dark. We sat outside on the patio which was cute. The chair cushions were a bit dirty and the roof had weeds growing on it so it seemed a little neglected. However, Summer, at the front desk was very helpful and kind. We love the area and walkability! The breakfast was nice! If they updated the bedding and carpet/interior, we would definitely go back!

Location is great, it’s dated but charming. It needs attention to some few details. Carpet could use a deep clean, and the bed smelled musty. Grounds are beautiful and could be tidying up a bit. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The continental breakfast was a nice touch and done well.

Beautiful stay in Capitola
On a 24 day road trip down the west coast, this was by far the most beautiful property we stayed at (and one of the most moderately priced). The room shows a little age, but nothing that deterred from the stay.
