    Breakfast was pretty good. It’s very carb centered except for the hard boiled eggs. It would be nice to have bakery goods that weren’t so solid/ dry. Tastier pastries and yogurt would be welcomed. The bathroom area could use another shelf or 2 and another towel bar by the shower. And the room needs at least 2 luggage racks. If 4 people used the room it would very difficult to organize. The bedside lightbulb in our room was very dim, making it hard to read in bed. Staff was all great.

    Location can’t be beat. Evening complimentary wine was nice. The gas fireplace was so nice and cozy. Big help on cold damp days. Bed and pillow were good. Appreciated the table and chairs.

    If you weren’t early enough to breakfast, food would run out.

    Rooms are dog-friendly (why we chose the hotel) and have no carpeting, which allows them to be cleaned well. Our room (2 queens) was very large. Basic, but extremely clean and well maintained. Our room had a gas fireplace, though a wood-burning one was advertised. The room had a microwave, decent-sized mini-fridge, and a popcorn maker. We had a bathtub beneath the shower. The hotel had 2 jacuzzis, a bbq, and outdoor seating for eating. It’s an easy walk to the beach through Asilomar, which is across the street. Leashed dogs are permitted on Asilomar State Beach.

    Furniture could be updated and we had one set of remotes for the living room and kids room.

    Breakfast was good. They had pastries, waffles, boiled eggs and fruit. The room was nice, the kitchen had everything we needed.

    We had noisy neighbors. I’m not sure if the walls were thin or the neighbors abnormally loud. Probably a little of both.

    Provided continental breakfast and evening wine reception.

    Great Stay in Pacific Grove

    We didn't realize that ground floor rooms still had at least two steps going in and out (except for the handicap accessible rooms which did have a ramp.) Folks staying in ground floor rooms said that the noise from upstairs neighbors was very loud -- these are old wooden buildings! The breakfast service was pretty nice but there was no juice, just coffee/tea. The advertised complimentary wine and cheese was actually just wine (they stopped doing the cheese or other snacks due to Covid). The rooms were very clean -- maybe too clean? Everyone complained that their room smelled of overly strong cleaners.

    The property is very quaint and the location is excellent. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to help our group of 13 have a great time. The beds were comfortable and the water was hot with decent water pressure. The fireplace was setup with good instructions on how to get a fire going. The popcorn popper in the room was a nice touch. On-site electric car charger was a nice bonus too.
