Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach

8/10 Good
"Great hotel. Second time there. There were several flaws. Check-in was delayed until 5:30 pm. Luggage took almost 45 mins to be sent. Breakfast took an hour to be served... sounds like short-staffing to me... Other than that, great place. They did provide a little credit, which showed they cared. Service was very good overall. "
