Loved how pet friendly the property was and the reasonable price they charge for having a pet. The hot tub and outside fire feature were also nice in the evenings. Location is great with short walk to the ocean and beach (many dog friendly beaches also). The one area of opportunity was the cleanliness of the bathroom floor. Wasn't filthy by any means, but also wasn't mopped from the previous visitor.

This is a great choice for an economy motel. The gentleman who greeted us was very nice and even got our room ready so we could check in early. We enjoyed the hot tub and didn't have a chance to use the fire pit, but there is a bone little place for your use. Our queen room was small but sufficient. There's no room for a table and chairs, but they do provide 2 chairs. This is the beach, so there isn't any air conditioning, but they do provide a box fan and there's a wall heater for when it's cold. We had a very noisy, squealing bathroom fan that wasn't seperate from the light so when you turned the light on it was on too, wick was really annoying. Hopefully they will fix that. But our main problem was that the bed was really uncomfortable for us. We are in our 50s and don't fare well on stiff beds, so 3 nights was rough for us. They have nice refrigerators that include a mini freezer and they have coffee makers and microwaves. If you want walking distance to the beach and places to eat (Lucy's has great hot dogs), this is perfect though. They welcome dogs. We didn't bring ours this time, but we were able to visit with so many so we didn't miss ours quite so much. If they replaced the mattresses, it would be the perfect little place for us.

Great staff, very friendly. Many nice little restaurants a few blocks away in downtown Pacific Grove. Especially liked the beach, tidepools and walkways being a short drive away.

Several blocks away from central Pacific Grove, but close enough to catch the vibe. Next door to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, quiet and serene environment.

It’s okay for an affordable place to sleep. Not really a good hang out spot though. The spa is small and the fire pit has uncomfortable benches around it. Our room had two queens and a kitchenette. We didn’t use the kitchen at all. The pan provided though looked like it was from 1970 with Teflon peeling and scratches all over it. If you expect to cook, bring your own pans. We found a cockroach on the bathroom floor, alive, after our first night. They provided daily towels but not clean linens at all for our three night stay. The room was tidyed up after the second night but not cleaned. The comfort of the bed was just okay. We were tired after hiking all day though, so anything would feel good. Instant coffee. The people in the unit below us smoked a lot and the smoke came in our room pretty bad. The windows do not lock at all. So that was weird. Anyway, overall it’s an okay place to stay. They chargesd us almost $900 for the three night stay so it was a lot for not that great.

This little place is quaint and quiet! The property owners contacted us before arrival and gave us the code for the room. The hot tub was nice but on the cooler side, the temperature needs a good 5 degree increase. The firepit area was cute and stayed on for as long as you want! I will definitely be booking here again!

Pretty typical lodging for Pacific Grove. I was expecting there to be a lot of noise but it was very quiet at night. No AC which you seldom need being so close to the coast. Having the in-room refrigerator was a blessing. Generally pretty clean but lime scale buildup on the shower head was kind of gross.
