Great location in Pacific Grove around the corner from the coast. Very quiet and easy to get to all the sights by car. The cottages were lovely and very spacious

This Inn surprised me. The team were the most helpful and friendly of all the hotels we stayed at while touring California. The room was very comfortable and the bed a dream to sleep in. The breakfast in your room is a very nice touch.

Eveything. Beautiful location and vibe. Loved it so much booked a 3rd night once there. - Stayed in a fireplace king room (102) and had direct access to the garden where we used the lounges, fire pits and pool on multiple occasions. - Pool and hot tub was clean and warm, perfect for the evening when the little one was sleeping as it was open til 10pm. Our baby monitor had no problem reaching and it was close enough to the room we felt safe to do so. What an indulgence. - Stayed over a weekend in spring break but found it to be super relaxed and quiet with no noise issues at all (though we do travel with white noise for the toddler just in case). - Room was large, house keeping wonderful, shower had good pressure. Hairdryer is one that's stuck to the wall, but my hair isn't long so wasn't an issue. Lovely to get Dove toiletries. I don't believe they offer cots, but we cosleep with our 2yo when travelling so just put pillows next to her when we were at the pool at night. There was plenty of space in the room if you travel with a portable cot though. - Right across from the paddle boats, beach and large park (Dennis the menace) which was perfect for our toddler. Short drive to Cannery Row and the Aquarium. 15min from Carmel too. - We drove to the aquarium and found the street parking easy and cheap (using an app) and paid $5 for an afternoon (instead of $20 in the lot on Foam St), but good that there's options if you want to spend the whole day. Would definitely stay here again!

First of all, it was our first time in this hotel and we stayed with our family. The front desk night and morning shift staff were friendly and professional. The hotel was clean and well-designed. O The room was good and the bed was comfortable! I didn't expect that the breakfast was gonna be amazing! You know hotel breakfast is usually bagels, jam, and coffee. However, they have a pancake machine, cold juice machine, fruits, omelets with cheese, hash browns, etc. It was so delicious! There is a complimentary coffee machine 24 hours in the lobby. Everything was amazing and thank you for your service!

Whale watching in Monterey Bay was incredible.

Whale watching in Monterey Bay was incredible. We saw many humpback whales very close up. We have since been whale watching elsewhere and must say that we did not realise quite how special the Monterey experience was at the time. Not to be missed!

Do it!

Do it! We saw more whales and dolphins close up than I ever imagined we would. Highly recommend the smaller boats used by “Discovery Whale Watching.” They have very knowledgeable marine biologists on board.

Very knowledgeable crew who were happy to talk with passion...

Very knowledgeable crew who were happy to talk with passion about the animals we saw/their behaviour and to answer any questions. Saw lot of birds, sea ottes, sealions, elephant seal, humpback whales including a whale taking a kelp bath and cooperative feeding when the whales made a bait ball. Trip lasted around 4hours and I would recommend to all.

The BEST whale watching experience we've had!

The BEST whale watching experience we've had! Amazing viewing of the whales, dolphins, etc. The safari is organized and safe. A biologist is part of the staff, available for questions and narratives. The entire staff from Check In to Good Bye were friendly, informative and fun!
