The hotel mixed up our room reservation with another party. The other party checked out a day before us causing our room to be locked with our stuff inside. Our password no longer worked to open our room but was able open the room the other party was staying in. I called to get it taken care of explaining the situation, I was told by a very rude Indian man that it wasnt his fault and that we would not have access to our property inside of the room we had stayed in. After the threat of a lawsuit he finally unlocked our room and allowed us to get our stuff, but told us we had to move it all to the other partys former room.In addition to that, the fireplace didnt work, the shampoo/bodywash dispenser was lying on the shower floor upon our arrival, and theres basically no sound insulation at all from the other rooms or from the noisy traffic outside.
Cheap and cozy place in Monterey. It was self checkin and the remote front desk was very patient and friendly. The room and the entire house are vintage in a good looking way, which is also very suitable to take pictures.
We loved our stay at Pacific Grove Inn! The room and bed were super comfortable and check-in/check-out was really easy and convenient. The price was reasonable, the hotel was quiet and the setting was really cool, just walking distance to restaurants and shops. It was also very easy to reach the owners. We would stay there again.
The beds were comfortable and luxurious. The room was clean. The info folder mentioned a heater control for fireplace was on the side of the fireplace, but it was on another wall near second bedroom and we didn’t find it til morning. The small portable heater worked well however. The history of the Inn is interesting, old photos on hall.We enjoyed the walk down to Lover’s Point, beautiful area. The surrouding neighborhood is lovely.My husband an I were there one night, April 31, 2022, as we travelled further north. The staff was friendly and helpful.Parking on site was nice.
Location is perfect. The website should be more specific about the fact there are two houses, one on the back of property. Very surprised at the location of our room. In the back, it had a balcony With a tree up against it, you could see a slight ocean view off to the side. We were aware the house was old but the house and room had a smell. Called and was told that’s the room we picked and nothing could be done. We did not specifically pick it nor would have. True the parking is very tight. Just investigate the location of you room.
Stayed here for 2 nights -Location: Perfect - Walking distance to many restaurants, shops, grocery stores, basically the little downtown center area. It was also really close driving-wise, to Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Close to attractions like sunset beach and 17-mile drive as well.Room: Fantastic, clean, comfortable, had hot water, a working fireplace (a bonus since they state their fireplaces are 100 years old so not all of them work so they don’t advertise it). No complaints.Check in process: Super easy, quick, efficient and simple. It’s self-check in, meaning they give you a code and then you can just type it in when you get there.Parking: Free parking lot/street parking. We had a car and had no issues whatsoever finding parking.Service: When I spoke to the people on the phone they were always really kind and nice and there was also cleaning service as well. No complaints also.Overrall: Would definitely stay here again!
Nice converted old house. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Had a thermostat in the room that did not control anything. Parking was available on the grounds, bur really tight. Easier to park on the street
The good: booking and check in was very easy, with door codes sent by text. It was also by far the best value accommodation in town and the room was very clean which is the main thing.The okay: the parking lot is small, and the spaces are very tight. Myself, and another guest both had to park on the street despite a space being available. Granted, Im in a full size pickup but the other guest was in a normal sized car (although I reckon I couldve got their car in the space). This wasnt a huge issue as we were both able to park on the street directly outside on this occasion.The bad: it should be noted that this is an old property, and so the floors do creek a lot, especially when the guests above us walked around. Not much that can be done about it though. The windows also allowed a lot of Street noise throug although again, just a problem with the property being old.The shower didnt have great water pressure which was slightly frustrating. And as with most propertie the area there isnt ac. Not the end of the world with their climate, but keep in mind you may need to have the windows open which will leave you subject to the street noise.
Our room was in the lower back corner: it was very quiet and peaceful. Room was small but well-equipped and was very comfortable. Housekeeping was excellent. Management let us in early for needed internet access. Fridge in the office was large and clean: we stored our milk there (very easy access). Bathroom was excellent: endless very hot water, clean towels daily, good soap etc supply. It suited us perfectly: we were out all day at a family reunion or touristing, and just needed a place to sleep. Downtown Pacific Grove (and the beach walk) were a few minutes fun walk away: Peppers Mexicali Restaurant was excellent. Note that the spaces in the parking lot between the buildings were VERY tight: the staff note that on-street parking on Forest Avenue (adjacent) is free.
Upon arrival the room had a strange odor and was very warm. No A/C, which would have been fine except we were on the first floor, the windows did not have screens and faced the parking lot. The curtains were falling apart and did not function properly. The hotel is very run down and needs considerable updating.
We had two rooms with a common hall, bathroom. Great for small family.Loud when fire truck pulls out near by.House is charming. Parking protected. Short walk to restaurants, etc.
Under renovation on the exterior which they did not mention. Ugly! Couldnt take pics outside of it. False advertising. Pictures made it look like they had a room to gather in. We had two other couples with us and we wanted a place to play games. When we asked were that room was they never responded. Then took down that picture. Such a horrible experience.
A true gem of a hotel. This quaint inn was the perfect spot for a quiet and relaxed stay in the area. We stayed here while on vacation along the coast and loved it. Everything was so well maintained and this place was extremely comfortable. Loved the room and how spacious it was. Staff had the place nice and clean before our stay.
Wonderful city to visit. They are known for their Victorian homes some of which were converted to bed and breakfasts. It is a dog friendly town. The staff at the places we visited were very friendly and helpful. Everything is on walking distance which saves on gas. We and doggies enjoyed the walk to Lovers Point over looking the bay. Couple of restaurants we dined at were only two blocks away from our cottage. Its a quaint city with an European small town appeal. Parking is free on the city streets. We will definitely return.
Horrible. No staff, just a maid. These inns as I remember them, had wine hours and staff to the hills Check in stay in your car to do it. You have to say your number of your credit card aloud. The room is ment for a Queen but has a King bed and somehow a couch. No place to eat in room except in bed if you wish. Horrible bathroom. Skip in my opinion for 200.00 you have better options
This is a over 100 year old building with so much history. This is a place for couples and retired people or just a place to relax 😌. Beautiful place with a comfy bed and so much to look at. Use everything here with care its very old and things can break easy. This isnt for people who want an updated hotel so Keep that in mind. Appreciate the charm and a break from ordinary hotels this place has character! Highly recommend if you want a room that feels more like a bedroom.
踩坑了！晚上8:00多到了這個酒店，門鎖住沒人！門口衹有一個電話，一個女的服務員在電話裏和你確認訂單號碼和名字。然後問你要信用卡號！英語是咖喱英語，電話聲音好小，聽不太清。她不關心你此刻的心情，衹要你的信用卡號。實在是糟透了！就是個沒有接待的Bed&Breakfast，把兩棟老房子改成了民宿。自己做個牌子就叫inn了！房子裏原來的一樓客廳改一下就變成我的房間，暖氣爐是假的，取暖靠那個小油叮！好冷，門就是一道玻璃門，透着光也擋不住寒氣！一個不專業的民宿，不推薦！停車場全滿，沒位置！
Nice clean little inn. Not a true b&b but perfect for a little getaway to enjoy the local offerings or needing a room that feels more like a guest room than a hotel. After spending the night the bed was a little noise and just not my style of mattress but the view from the balcony of room 117 was the cherry on top . We enjoyed wine and cheese here for our little vacation on an oddly warm february night.
We loved staying at Pacific Grove inn. It felt more like we were staying in one of the charming neighborhood homes rather than a hotel. We got a room with a balcony and it was so cozy and cute. The balcony was actually pretty big with a few chairs and overlooked the rooftops with a peek of the ocean, we spent a lot of time sitting out there. The self check-in was also easy and convenient, especially during the pandemic. The location is perfect, right in the center of town so we were able to walk to all of the bars and shops. The only thing to consider is that there isnt air conditioning, for us it was not a problem since there was a nice cool breeze with the window/door open and there is a fan and heater in the room. We also LOVED the fireplace, great touch. Wish we stayed a 2nd night!
Such a cute place at such a good price. As a Victorian mansion tour guide, this place was amazing! My suite, despite costing what one would normally pay for a queen, had a queen bed, a twin in a witchs cap (so cool), two toilets, and a bath. It also had a seaside view and a no-contact check-in that was quick and effortless.
We had a great time staying at this inn. It has a beautiful and peaceful energy throughout. Our king room was very comfortable and the inn is in a perfect, central location - made it super easy to hop on our bikes and ride through Monterey. Loved reading the history behind our rooms namesake, provided in the thoughtful welcome binder. The only issue we ran into is that the communal room with a fridge and ice was locked and the code we were provided didnt work. At times it was difficult to reach a concierge because of bad cell service. When we did speak with the concierge, they were always very pleasant and helpful. Overall, highly recommend this inn to everyone looking for a simple, elegant, comfortable stay.
I enjoyed myself! I stayed in the Emily Tuttle room. It was in the back building and had a private entrance which I really loved. Its a historic/old building so not everything is perfect; you can hear your neighbors loud and clear. If you have the misfortune of having neighbors with heavy feet staying above you, it can get a little distracting and tiresome, but its give and take!The room was pretty clean and the bed was comfortable. The power sockets/outlets are definitely older, as they are loose. You might have to prop up your chargers and other cords to keep them plugged in. There is no daily room cleaning in observance of COVID-19 (which I completely understand - employee health is more important) - so you will either have to try your best to keep your room clean if you are naturally messy, or youll have to call for assistance.From 7AM to about 7PM, the neighborhood itself is pretty quiet save for a few ambulance runs. Theres a ton of things in walking distance including convenience stores, cafes, a movie theater, Lovers Point beach, a couple of grocery stores, and so much more. Theres a trail that connects Lovers Points to Cannery Row, so if you dont mind a kind of lengthy (but absolutely beautiful) walk, go for it!I am missing a lot, but to sum it up: I had a great stay! The ONLY reason I cant give them a 5-star review is because they dont have luggage holding services like most hotels. So if you are traveling by airplane, train, or some other method, and you arrive too early or leave too late, youre out of luck.(My recommendation would be to sit at a cafe and/or go to the movies. Thats what I did.)
Nice room in a great location. Very walkable. Manager was responsive and check-in was super easy. Only draw backs were dated fixtures and a very narrow shower caused by an improperly installed shower curtain. We would definitely stay again.
This place was truly so lovely. I was surprised by any reviews that weren’t positive! I stayed here with my partner for a night in December and it was such a quaint little place. One thing I loved was that you didn’t have to talk to anyone to get into your room, which can just be so nice sometimes. They give you an access code ahead of time. We had a king bed that was SO so comfortable. You can tell they invested in some really nice mattresses. That can really make or break an experience IMO. The houses are old and charming but have been maintained pristinely. Walking distance to everything. Pacific grove in general is a cute, weird, sleepy little beach town. We were confused about the TV and the person we called came ASAP and fixed it. The only thing I would say is if you’re a light sleeper you might want to get a room on the second floor! The houses are just old and you will inevitably hear the people above you.
Cute! Had a top tip floor room, felt a little closed in with the roof slants, but thr bed was super comfy and soft. The bedding is very nice and clean. The bathroom served as needed. Was a little stuffy in the room, but one window opened enough to allow some fresh air in. Cute place and in walking distance of everything in town and not too far from the water either. Just a short walk to lovers point.
Walkability through the roof! We didnt need a swimming pool or spa, but we wanted location. If you are looking for a peaceful place to sleep that is close to Lovers Point, downtown Pacific Grove and Cannery Row, this is your place. We stayed in a cozy room in the top rear gable of the front house. Even though the main windows faced the parking lot (parking is included free), we still enjoyed a small but great view of the ocean.Clearly proud of the historic heritage, the owners put up photos and facts about the original owners. The surrounding neighborhood homes were just as impressive as this one. It was so much fun to walk around this historic area. Concerned for safety? Dont be; the police station and fire station are across the street. You cant get much safer than that.I was very impressed with the measures taken to prevent Covid-19 spread. Prior to our arrival, we were sent door code instructions for building and room entry. When we had an issue accessing the room, a quick phone call solved problem. The only suggestion I could make would be to include a bottle of drinking water in the room, but this is a personal preference.Please note, historic homes are difficult and expensive to remodel and were built before ADA compliance but dont let that stop you from enjoying this close-to-town location! ADA ramps are in place for both buildings. Ask for room availability on the bottom floor if you need accommodation.
What a charming place! Even though I booked through Expedia, I received a follow up call from the staff who made sure that I had all the check in details that I needed. The space was well appointed and I absolutely love old Queen Ann architecture! There was also a remarkable number of historic photos and information about the place which made for a richer experience during my stay 😊
Loved this place. Close to downtown, food, coffee and the beach. Rooms were in two historic houses. Housekeeping was fantastic. Our room had a little porch, #112(?), where we would have wine in the evenings. Four stars cuz the room next to ours seemed to amplify noise and parking was tight.
This is the worst place I’ve ever stayed.Worst bed (we are leaving before the sun comes up today because we are so stiff from the terrible mattress), zero shower amenities, terrible stuffy room that only cools down when the windows are open all the way (no screens to keep bugs out), and noisy trash collection outside.Also zero privacy. Could see our neighbors wandering around their room from the outside even with the blinds shut.I get it’s an old building. But come on. We paid $200 on air bnb for this and think this is the biggest rip off.
Clean room & comfortable bed in a building with historic charm. Safe location walking distance to restaurants, shops, and the beach at Lovers Point Park. Free parking and easy self check-in are bonuses. Excellent value for the price. (Stayed one night 5/30/21)
Extremely noisy. Windows are very old and useless and it sounded like a waterfall was running through our room anytime someone took a shower. You can also hear anything from the other rooms and everything thats going on outside. Hardly any sleep. Im sure my feedback will be shared with the team as in all the other replies by PG Inn. - unfortunately nothing seems to change since the issues Im bringing up here were being reported by other guests for years.
Misleading! I would not recommend this place. They make it seem like youll stay in the front yellow building that is much nicer than the back ran down building we were put in. There are a handful of repairs needed. Curtains falling from wall, LOTS of water damage in the bathroom, the steps leading up to the room felt like you were going to fall through, metal stuck in bathroom outlet!? I could continue. If they took the time to fix up this place and post truthful advertisement on separate buildings it might be worthwhile.
This inn is a hidden gem! Amazing location if you want to be close to the beach and aquarium. This building is over 100 years old with a rich history with many photos on the walls. If youre looking for something out of the ordinary this is the perfect choice. Basically, staying at this place is an experience by itself.
Easy self check-in! Super close to lots of dining options and beautiful beaches that aren’t busy at all compared to LA! The building is old but the amenities are good! We wanted to stay at a relatively inexpensive hotel that we’d feel safe at. This was so much better than that!
My wife and I stayed here over the Memorial Day weekend. We had a nice experience overall, but the innkeeper had to handle a very difficult noise situation caused by other guests partying, for lack of a better word, in the parking lot around an illegal portable fire pit (they are not allowed in Pacific Grove). We certainly don’t blame the inn for the disturbance caused by rude and entitled guests; the innkeeper was calm, polite, but firm with the guests throughout the situation, whereas they just behaved so, so badly. I spoke with the owner the night of the disturbance and he was very apologetic about the whole thing, though it wasn’t the inn’s fault and he and the innkeeper did all they could do to respond to complaints about the obnoxious guests.The location of the inn is excellent, everything was clean and cozy.
We had a very nice experience at the Pacific Grove Inn. Its a unique and historic property, with some history behind the sea captain who built it in 1904. Its in a sweet location, very close to downtown Pacific Grove, and also the attractions of Monterey. Rooms were nice, and quaint. Its not a chain, and the rooms were not perfect, but that added to the quaintness. The breakfast was good. My only problem was that the milk ran low, and the chef was a bit harried so it took a few minutes to get service, but the food was good and we were pleased overall. Afternoon wine & cheese is a nice touch. And the staff is very friendly and helpful. So overall, we enjoyed it, and thought it was a very good value for the money.
Definitely recommend staying at Pacific Grove Inn if you’re in the Monterey, Carmel, or the Pacific Grove regions. Property and rooms are cute and maintained very well by the owners. Pictures are accurate and my whole stay was very COVID friendly. The ocean and nearby restaurants are only a couple minutes away. Bed was comfortable and the room and building is clean. Owners were communicative and made me feel very welcome. I would definitely stay again.
Really cool, Interesting place.Our stay was quite. The bed was amazing, Just the way I like and the rate was well worth it. There was a little bit of furniture that was making the TV sideways but a book fixed that. Definitely worth going to in my opinion. FYI there are no body working the front desk as its by email and password door locks
Beautiful old Victorian B & B (no breakfast) but has fridge and microwave. Friendly service and the location is only 3 blocks from the beach where we walked daily and enjoyed the sealife (whales, otters, seals and more. The rooms are spacious and quaint with old time nooks and crannies. Price is great and I would recommend an outdoor paint job to gain the newcommers confidence that the inside is really as great as it is! We will be back!
LOVED THIS PLACE! So clean and cozy. Felt right at home.
Pacific Grove Inn room 112 was horrible. Carpet was dirty, damp and cold room was cold.the only heat was a gas fireplace. There was mold on walls near tub in bathroom.not safe to stay here.
Charming, quaint, comfortable. Great host with timely communication. Lots of care is put into this Inn and we felt it during our stay. Not a single issue was encountered
Too much noise everywhere. No privacy with certain staff spying on guests constantly. I definitely felt some discrimination there. Apparently big dogs arent very welcomed either.
We love this place. Had a room with a sitting room which is perfect for covid. Great location with many nearby restaurants and coast walk. Thought the traffic noise might be a problem, but PG traffic stops around 10 and closing the windows keeps al but the motorcycle and trash truck noise out (tee hee). Love that there are two common rooms on the main floor.
Do not stay here. They put us in the worst room. Top of the building room 108. Ceiling is slanted on both sides so it’s very difficult to even walk around without ducking. Manager is off site and spoke with an Accent so thick I could barely understand him. No compensation for the challenges. Drafts thru the windows and they shake and move with the least bit of wind. Not view except over the parking lot. Outside is shabby and rundown. They said place was full but I haven’t seen anyone around. Place is across the street from fire station so it’s noisy. TERRIBLE LOCATION AND ROOM! If I could have given zero stars I would have.
Really liked Pacific grove inn. stayed at the smaller annexe, The room is very clean and quiet. self check in. comfortable bed.Asked for late checkout and slept in. close to shops, there is a korean bbq chicken place and indian restrurant near the safeway up the road. Also check out the rabbit hole a craft shop near safeway. They had an upside down christmas tree! and some free candy.Great place to stay, for point lobos park, pacific grove,
If I could give them no stars I would.The worst experience I’ve ever had.To start with bugs in the bed and on the floor in the bathroom, no running hot water, no heater and no decent communication he stated he would come fix the situation and upon arrival back to the hotel nothing was changed so I called the hotel and this the so called manager who was not ever at the hotel amd sounded like he was from a foreign country. He wouldn’t give me his name was rude when I asked for his name and title then asked for the owner. He used foul language and threats.Do yourself a favor and Do Not stay at this Inn. I’ll be attaching photos.
Liked that I didnt have to talk to anyone. Wished that the showers were hotter and that the beds were a bit softer but other than that we enjoyed our stay!
Pleanty of charm and also very clean! The mattress was extremely comfortable. We will definitely be booking furture trips to Pacific Grove Inn!
If youre going to talk about warm cookies being set out at 8pm, make sure they are not stale grocery store seconds - do it right with fresh from the oven or local-store-goodness... or dont bother. The coffee was terrible and the breakfast was very Best Western continental - really out of place for a B&B. When offered frittata and I asked for one for myself and my daughter, the lady said, well is she going to eat it? Wow, that was tacky and inappropriate. I received a similar luke-warm response at check-in. Its a pretty neat old property that, while humble, could still be something special if it wasnt being run like a slum.
This place was amazing!!! It was my first stay in a B&B, and I will never go back to hotels again! We stayed over Labor Day weekend, and it was a peaceful and relaxing trip. The breakfast was delicious both days. I highly recommend staying here.
The pictures are not like on the website. The hotel rooms have an ocean view, IF, you are on the 3rd floor but the hotel is about 4 blocks away from the ocean. The refrigerator and microwave are shared in a common area. Not in the room.
We liked our stay at the Pacific Grove Inn. Our room was perfect for our need. We’d come back.
It was loud and the bed was so uncomfortable and the room temp freezing so if thats ur jam come here
Pacific Grove Inn is a lovely vintage home now operating as an AirBnB (without breakfast). Reasonable price for a unique stay. I go often!
No receptionist. About ten rooms available. Room had non-working fire place. No breakfast. Location towards Lovers Point. Adequate parking. Historic building.
Had a great experience at Pacific Grove Inn! The bed was comfortable and all necessities were provided. Would recommend!
Positive: Nostalgic Negative: Need to replace shower head-very limited water
I called to try and reserve a room the guy sounded like he just woke up and was irritated for some reason asks what im calling for like if it isnt obvious im calling for a room and he says were closed call me tomorrow at 4pm! So I already got bad vibes and not a welcoming answer from them on the other end so all and all I will not be staying or calling back he could care less so I thought I would let anyone know in advance dont be surprised to be answered rudely!
This was the 2nd time we have staying there, always clean and convenient.Too bad it is no longer a B&B.
Great location, and quiet. We could relax after the long drive with a hot shower and a comfy bed.
Windows are old, wind howls through, dormers hang very low in room, no place to hang any clothes, something right out sidewindow by bed keeps banging on wall, fire house just down the block, fire trucks running with sirens
I loved it !!! So comfy and quiet.The bed and pillows very comfortable, I didnt want to get up :)
What a quaint place ! New Management ... Really enjoyed my stay! Very friendly staff..! Very clean.. ! Highly recommend.. would definitely stay again!!Read less
Very cute. Clean. Nice communal lounge room. Book directly, not via air bnb.
Come here a couple times a year to relax. They have wine in the evenings and hot waffles for breakfast.
Great location. Stayed there on a whim. Cozy rooms with charm and interesting history.
There was hair in the sheets and the bathroom was not cleaned properly in the suite
Great location and perfect weather - Ill definitely go back for another visit!
Enjoyed our accommodations, just a short walk to the shore and several great restaurants. Thanks!
Such a beautiful historic home. It feels like you go back in time when you walk in
Beautiful place to visit
A pretty expensive bed with no breakfast... Not what was advertised when I reserved a room. I would not stay there again

Class stay here
No staff on siteLate check-in requires an internet connection or a call to access your room (complicated if you come from abroad). It took us 20 minutes with a telephone platform despite a reservation to access our room.The location is good

2023-11-30 21:47:09Will absolutely be staying here again and telling friends about it.It was so cute and cozy. Spacious rooms. Everything you could want to visit is in walking distance. I loved that I didnt really have to interact with staff and it was super quiet. I drove in circles trying to find where the parking is but once I did I felt safe leaving my car there. There isnt a desk or table to eat at, but lets be honest, we dont visit Monterey to sit in our hotel rooms, right? Didnt bother me a bit. Wifi is good, everything was clean as well.Only two gripes: Bed is super firm, but not lumpy, and the water pressure is awful. But: the pros outweighed the cons ten-fold.

2023-11-14 18:42:26The location is key here. Youre in the middle of Pacific Grove. Be aware though, this is a self-directed place with virtually no staff on site. Whatever you need, youll have to call someone.The room itself was OK, it did the job. I liked our balcony with an ocean view. Comfortable bed.Bathroom was blah, and the water pressure was not great. We ran out of toilet paper and were unable to get anyone to bring us another roll (see above). That was unpleasant.Parking on site was OK, but a little tight.

2023-09-08 16:07:48Excellent place to stay while in Pacific Grove/Monterey. The building is on the national register of historic places with some cool local history to learn about. The rooms were nice and I loved the self check in process. Id definitely stay here again.

2023-08-12 17:45:53First of all: location is brilliant! Right next to Pacific Grove City Hall and police department. Wide quiet streets. Deers walking freely around the neighborhood. 20 min walk to Aquarium, Cannery Row, 10 min walk to the ocean and beautiful Lovers Point and many different cousines (from breakfast to late dinners).We spent weekend there in the middle of the summer. And our main goal was visiting Aquarium with kids. This hotel location fit great. We arrived around 10pm and realized that parking spots were extremely narrow. There were only 2 spots available at the far end of the parking. I saw some cars parked on the street. Most likely drivers didnt risk to park there. But we could squeeze in safely. The spots are so narrow that you cant open the door even for 1 car. But we werent going to take our car that weekend so it was easier to park it and didnt move anymore.The check in process was not very comfortable. Definitely, welcoming alive person could make it much smoother. We and kid were tired and Id prefer to go to bed instead of calling and waiting for all instructions by phone. Fortunately they emailed detailes like passwords and so. The Victorian styled hall is amazing. Like big dining room with fireplace and furniture with that antique spirit. Definitely worth to make some pictures.Finally we got our room details. It was a basement room with standart windows on ground level. We expected 3 beds but actually got 3 rooms in one. They could definitely fit a small kitchen there but there were no kitchen amenities inside. But guests may use refrigirator and microwave in the common area near the entrance door. The room was equipped by AC and we did notice portable air ones. But just didnt pay attention. There was 68F inside and only in the morning we understood that AC didnt work. Like constantly. Nobody informed us. And only in the morning after I messaged staff they told us to use portable instead.The room was a little bit outdated with squeaky noisy beds but clean. Ask about beds if you are planning romantic nights. LOL.The thing I didnt like was refillable locked toiletries in the bathroom. Indifidual ones would be much healthier from hygienic point.Overall still pretty good impression. At least, good balance between location and price. But only 4 stars for heaters and age of room.

2023-05-22 23:00:29It was a beautiful place to stay. The check in was done all online or via phone. It was a simple process. The connection to the person who was checking us in was a bit bad, and I couldnt hear her well, but we made it work. Accessing the building was easy, via passcodes that were delivered via text and email.The room, 115, was cozy and we were lucky enough to have a working fireplace. It was luxuriously quiet! The balcony was nice, it had a table and 2 chairs. You couldnt hear the ocean over the electrical humming in the neighborhood, but other than that, the neighborhood is extremely quiet.

2023-05-08 13:34:10The good. Bed was comfortable. Fireplace warmed room nicely. Good blackout curtains.The bad. Wall paper in bathroom was peeling off. The room had no space for a fridge or microwave. You had to walk to main lobby to use there’s and even then the fridge in lobby anyone could access.The ugly. When reserving the room there was no mention that outside was being painted. Thus the windows were covered with plastic and the whole outside area had debris everywhere.This should have been mentioned in website.

2023-06-14 21:52:57This was a good value and clean. When you see an old Victorian like this, you know there will be quirks, but also expect character. However, the environment here was almost institutional: a sterile exhibit. Everything was a drab yellow color, with nothing unique going on, outside some period photographs. The only thing quirky was the small bathroom with frosted, translucent door...so you can awkwardly watch your new boyfriend take a dump.An attentive innkeeper could have added more to this experience. Instead, this is probably another property being remotely managed/minimally staffed for profits sake, under the continued excuse of COVID. No one was on site and most things were automated. The only thing offered in the morning was vending machine coffee. You cant get your code to check in or the WiFi info unless you call an impersonal phone babysitter. Good luck connecting.

2022-10-20 19:27:06Pacific Grove Inn has lot of potential, but the way it is being currently run is very cold and impersonal. It feels like a creepy ghost house instead of a warm, old-school Bed & Breakfast. Id easily pay more for my room if there were welcoming staff on-site, complimentary food, and possibly events in the main-space.There are no staff on-site, you get in with a code that is sent to you. The phone is operated remotely. The room itself was very clean, and the historical home was definitely interesting. The location is very good as well.I forgot something in my room and was not able to get it sent to me, because of the way the hotel is operated with no staff on-site.The common-space is the living room and dining room with a large TV but theres nothing going on in there. Theres no food or complimentary snacks, and there is a single communal fridge.As it is, Id have been better staying at a chain hotel with better service.

2022-12-31 21:30:12Really cute place for a decent price while visiting the area. The room was huge and they even had a little sitting area. The bathroom was a decent size as well. The place let us check in and out without seeing anyone. The parking lot was REALLY TIGHT even for a smaller car. The rooms are also connected so you can hear the neighbors. It would be cool if they had smart TVs rather than cable, and there wasnt a mini fridge or anything for us to keep food. I would stay again bc its so charming and near everything.

2023-10-27 18:41:35The staff responded super quickly to any questions I had l, so that started the stay off very well. My room was clean and well stocked, and the vintage gas fireplace even worked! It was a great place to stay, super centrally located, I walked to Cannery Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Lovers point. Lots of great restaurants are right nearby.
