Pacific Grove Inn

This is a self-serve property. You have to call, however, to get your room key code. The two men that we spoke to had thick accents and were difficult to understand. Access to the property means you have to carry your luggage up one, two or three sets of stairs. There is a ramp in the rear of the building but we were not allowed to use it (it would have eliminated one set of stairs). The facility offers a shared refrigerator, no freezer. We saw ice cream in the crisper drawer. The sheets are yellowed and the blinds are tattered and the cords are unsafe for kids. At night the cars driving by can be pretty noisy. Throughout the day and night you can hear doors shutting and the keyless locks going off. We could hear a cell phone going off next door, people coughing and talking. So not peaceful. Just not my jam. The thick plastic on the dining tables is a bit eye popping. I wish them the best but we would not choose it again.

Quaint property. Spacious family suite. Comfortable bed and excellent dinner recommendation (Max’s Grill - 2 minutes walk)

We spent two nights at Pacific Grove Inn during our trip to California. The room was spacious, well equipped and was very clean. The location is fantastic, lots of restaurants within walking distance, grocery stores and a really good coffee shop down the road. Lovers point is a short walk, the Pacific Grove entrance gate to the 17-mil drive is only three mins away and the Monterey Bay aquarium is 5mins away. The house is located opposite to the police station and that also makes you feel extra safe. The only downside is there is no fridge in the room, there is a communal fridge in the main house. It was an hassle as we were travelling with a toddler who needs milk early in the morning. Another point to note is that there is no one on site to help with check-in etc. All messages were replied to really quickly so not a big deal.

The Inn was quaint. It’s an older property so that was apparent on the interior. Parking lot spaces are super small if you can get one and quiet time starts at 8:30. I wouldn’t recommend if you have children that stay up past 8:30 but if you’re a single person or a couple that doesn’t mind the early quiet time this is a decent place to stay.

We slept in the family room at the top, it was very quaint, very nice, very clean and gave us a nice feeling. We only stayed 1 night, and we enjoyed ourselves very much. Getting in was rather challenging as their system didn't work very well and I didn't get the text messages, and did not have the codes to get in. We had to call and that was expensive. The coffee availability and water in the central rooms is very welcomed.

The building was old and interesting in appearance. It was near the Monterey Aquarium. Room check-in was easy, although you will need to call to get the code to enter the room due to non-reception. Because the sound is not clear, you must say all your credit card information loudly and other guests can hear it, which is not good. Limited facilities such as no refrigerator in the room. The TV wasnot working in our room. The toilet fan didnot work great. Due to the old building, you can easily hear the sound of walking or any movement from the upstairs room or the stairs. Having a damp smell. In general, it is not suitable for families with toddlers or babies, as using the refrigerator in general to store milk or baby food. it is not hygienic, safe and reliable, at least for me. Overall, we were not happy in this place , and there is zero chance that we would like to stay here again.

Very noisy bed, people upstairs didn't stop Almost all night too much walking noises, hot bars in the bathroom didn't have a warning for safety like "CATION IS HOT" or something very dangerous for kids Almost burn myself, room was smelling, tv was not good just half of the screen was able to watch and I can keep going with this

LOVE this place! The property is nice, quiet and located within walking distance of convenience stores and local eatery. My family and I stayed in 109, the front (very top floor) with an ocean view. It had two separate rooms and an awesome sitting room in between them, along with an actual shower room. The bed in my room was just right and the linens were so comfortable. The layout was perfect! We will be returning to this historical inn and cannot wait to do this during butterfly season. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience.

Liked; historic building , free parking, full sized fridge,close to town. Disliked: expensive for what you get : one room , tiny bath and old plumbing. Thin walls ; can hear other guests and their kids banging around, doors slamming and high pitched squeal of old pipes in next room.no dining area or table (like in pictures) fire and police station across street , lots of sirens on our second night.

I love coming here, close to favorite places snd family
