The room that we had, had a fantastic view. Breakfast was very good. It was quite tasty. The grounds were very well kept and fairly good size. The owners are very hospitable and shared the history of the Inn.

The location is great. It is a very short walk to Cannery Row, although somewhat hilly. They offer very comprehensive advice for places to eat, as well as things to do locally. The breakfast was restaurant quality, and the hospitality hour refreshments were excellent. And they also had cookies all day. The brandy in the room was an unexpected touch.

Wonderful place to visit Monterey

The owners met us and they were extremely friendly and helpful. The morning breakfast was superb and individually prepared.

I stayed for a conference since the conference hotel was booked and I’m so glad I did. My room had a cozy fireplace and a stunning view of the bay. The whole property is charming, as are the staff. Plenty of nooks to settle into in the public areas, too, though I didn’t have time for that. This is a lovely inn, and I’ve already rebooked for next year.

Nothing, I loved it!

Rick, Suzanne, Dorothy and Ruth were all great. I have never had such a personal feeling experience at anywhere that I have stayed before. Rick and Suzanne knew my name and called me by it every day. Breakfast was excellent from the stuffed french toast to the Phantasmagoria to the wonderful Jabber Juice, everything was perfect. I did not join for the wine and hours dourves but was checked on every evening by Dorothy to see if I was going to join to make sure that there was still time. All in all a great stay and I am looking forward to coming back again in the near future.

We had a wonderful visit to Monterey and loved staying at the Jabberwock. The Inn was great, the people, the food, everything.

Our room was small with no closet. Fairly expensive but it was a holiday weekend.

Old Victorian house, everything was quaint but beautiful. Based on Alice in Wonderland. Very nice people willing to do anything you asked. Delicious breakfast and appetizers for happy hour.

Giving my room keys back to (Rick)the owner!

Peaceful gardens and water fountain to just sip tea, read the local paper and relax as a family of deer makes good use of the pond and foliage. Main house views are amazing as well as the Staff (Especially Dorothy)Knowledgeable and very helpful for dining suggestions or travel destinations. Start your day 8-9am, Pick a table for a Wonderfull breakfast, then out for your adventures. 5 min walk to Cannery row and most restaurants. Come back by 5-6pm to enjoy the tasteful selection of wine and appetizers nightly. Another 5 min stroll for Dinner, then back to the property to enjoy the views before retiring to Bed which was very comfortable! Great Couples retreat!!

Didn't realize when booking that the bathroom wasn't connected to our room - but it was private so it was fine. Could have been that I missed it, or may need to be a little more obvious in posting

All the food was great! Dorothy & Rick were incredibly friendly and accommodating, also the garden around the house was incredible!

it was all excellent! Nothing not to like!

Lovely craftsman style home with period furniture and William Morris style wallpaper along with adorable whimsical touches. early evening hors d’oeuvres and wine were a lovely way for guests to meet. Breakfast was amazing! Close to Monterey attractions including the Aquarium and Fisherman’s Wharf. The owners were warm and welcoming, and that was true for all other staff as well. As a solo traveler, I felt totally safe. Would return to The Jabberwock in a heartbeat for my next trip to Monterey.

bed had a dip making it somewhat uncomfortable

the couple running it, the view, the food, the very generous extra’s, the themed decorations, the location, the garden, the personal touch and eye for detail.

We liked everything!

We liked everything about this place! We came for just one night to celebrate our 34th anniversary and I wish we had stayed more nights. In an area where hospitality services have to be exceptional because there is so much competition on every block, The Jabberwock really goes over and above in excellence in every way. The owners and their staff, esp. Dorothy, are extremely welcoming, hospitable, and engaging. The facilities are convenient to Monterey, being a couple of streets up from Cannery Row but is not so close that you feel like you're in the hubbub. The house is beautiful and well-kept; our room was beautiful and had a great view of the bay (we stayed in Brillig); the bed was very comfortable; the breakfast was amazing, and the wine and hors-d'oeuvres hour the night we came in was an added bonus. It's a community style arrangement, so chances are good you'll be interacting at least somewhat with other guests, but it wasn't in your face and there are places to be by yourself as well if you don't feel like interacting. We will definitely be back as this is our new favorite place for special occasions, and we will be recommending this to all our friends in San Jose (and those that come from out of state too). 😊

bathroom within the room was cramped. Bed was too soft.

staff was amazing. the breakfast was superb. loved the evening happy hour.

Stayed in October 2022

Bed was,unfortunately,too soft and slopped on both sides.

Lovely home, tastefully decorated with vintage antiques and we'll manicured landscape. The morning deer was a nice touch. Late afternoon appetizers and scrumptious breakfast were much appreciated.

The cookies…🙁… so dry and old-tasting.

Rick, Suzanne and Dorothy couldn’t have been more welcoming. Suzanne’s passion for the inn, it’s history, maintaining integrity of its mission was so engaging. Rick’s easy personality makes everyone feel at home and Dorothy is warm and so capable of making us comfortable and in awe of our yummy breakfasts and wine hour. I cannot wait to return!
