We loved our stay at Pacific Monarch. While the room was a bit dated, it was very clean, loved having the kitchen, conveniently located near the beach, shopping and restaurants. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that our AC unit died, we did notify staff, but when they sent maintenance to inspect, it seems they only verified the compressor was running-but the fan was not moving, so no cold air was coming out of the unit. Beautiful breezes kept the room cooler, so we didn't bother notifying a second time.
