Monarch Cove Inn

Monarch Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The property has the most beautiful view. Breakfast is above and beyond the usual. While the windows seemed worn around the edges, the room amenities were good. The criticism I have is the walls are thin. Luck of the draw on noisy neighbors. Still and all, I’ve stayed there 3 times."
