We liked the location, but miserable, substandard old mattress in our room. Toilet would not flush properly, plunger next to toilet. Horrible front desk service. Rooms are dated and no reinvestment in newer mattress. Coffee from coffee machine was not drinkable. Owner wouldn’t respond via email to our complaints. Don’t waste your time or money here.

This hotel is really just a place to stay - clean rooms and a parking lot.

Check in took forever even though I had a confirmation number and copy of reservation on my cell phone. Travelosity put my name as my email user name which was different than my real name and could not correct the error

Thank you for your feedback. When you came to check in you gave us a different name that was not on the reservation as of security reasons we have to confirm the name on reservation and the name on ID card. In this case you had a completely different name on the reservation and you never told us the email user name so how could we know that this is your room. And you made the reservation through the third party site so you have to get it changed through them the hotel cannot make any modification on a third party reservation. So once you got all this taken care of we ran a smooth check-in.

Breakfast is a carb load. Waffles, cereal, English muffins, Danish, yoghurt. No protein to be found like peanut butter or boiled eggs. Bathroom is small and the toilets are kids size. Really difficult for tall folks. Rooms are neat, beds comfortable, pillows need replacing (soft) , staff was friendly.

Look elsewhere!

Rundown place. Uncomfortable bed perched on a box instead of a proper bed frame so it makes horrible creaks and groans with every movement. Also the bed upstairs makes the same noise! Clean is about all it had going for it. Couldn’t seem to turn off heater so had to open window to counter the heat. Unsecured WiFi! Had basic breakfast food but only dark, cold outside area in which to eat it. Rude front desk clerk. Have a brass turtle bell to call desk help. No wires, but didn’t really ring like a bell, so I pushed more than once and was told in a rude tone—“I heard you, just ring once! It’s very loud!” Can’t hear anything at desk. Maybe they should put a note to explain situation since it appears to be a bell that sued by work!

Language Day visit

Check in was at 3:00, located walking distance to Monarch butterfly sanctuary, about half way between town of Pacific Grove and ocean, 2 miles from event at Presidio. Very quiet, bed was comfortable, plenty of towels, continental breakfast (We left early and did not try it).

Noisy motel in good location.

The staff was kind. The room was disappointing. We chose this motel due to reviews on website. We felt the room was old and in major need of updating. We hardly slept in the room due to the people above us pacing all night. You could hear every noise your neighbor was making and the street noise of Lighthouse dr was very noisy too. So we felt for the money it wasn't worth the stay. We will go back and stay at the other motels in the area that are much nicer, like the Bid A Wee or the Sea Breeze.

Location Location

We planned on seeing the monarch butterflies, some beach time and running around Monterey. The location of this hotel was great...the butterflies were located just across the street. It was too bad they had already flown away. The beach was close by and so is Monterey. Overall good stay. The hotel provided a Continental breakfastvnot a Full breakfast...it was fine. The hotel room was nice. Pressure in the shower was great. I'd go back.

Nice hotel not too far from downtown Pacific Grove

Pros: The fact that we had a double bed and a single bed; worked real well for my friend and me.
Cons: A better place to eat breakfast. They could enclose the area where their tables are and put some cushions on the chairs to make them more comfortable
Location: It's about a mile from the quaint downtown of Pacific Grove where there is lots of shops and restaurants. Really close to the 17 mile scenic drive.
We were really comfortable in our room. The breakfast was minimal, and only place to sit and eat is outside; it was too cold. I would stay there again. Very close to the ocean and the entrance to the 17 mile scenic drive.
