Pros: Clean room, nice bathroom and close to walking trails on the beach Cons: Smaller room than expected, light all night, bed and sheets were not comfortable, noisy (could hear people’s conversation in the next room very clearly). Office/lobby very cluttered and messy, poor selection at breakfast, and no Wi-Fi or cell service.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The room was beautifully renovated, very clean, and with a comfy bed. We were warmly welcomed by Rishi. We loved the fact that they provided ceramic cups for the coffee and water glasses instead of plastic ones.

I really liked the fireplace in our room and the decor. The staff was very friendly and the property manager was extremely gracious and helpful. The property is an easy walk to the beach and surrounding area is beautiful. Our only issue was that we had ants in bathroom.

Couldn't have asked for more!

Our stay at the Sunset Inn was perfection! It started with a great deal we got here on hotels.com. We received a personal welcome text before we arrived in a warm welcome from Rishi. When we checked in he offered a sort of concierge service as he helpfully shared local recommendations for dining and things to do. Upon finding out we were celebrating our 1-year anniversary, he called for a bottle of wine, a fruit and cheese plate, and a beautiful bouquet of local flowers to be brought to our room. The room was nicely updated, and very clean. We found it very comfortable for our week's stay. Everyone, from the front office to the housekeeping staff were super friendly and always smiling. The Continental breakfast was what you would expect. It was simple but tasty. End was the Inn was in a perfect location, central to many things to do, but far enough out of the hustle and bustle. We will definitely stay here again!

Convenient and clean!

Great place to stay. We were just there for 1 night as we traveled up the coast. Everything was so clean and the host made sure to tell us that "this is your home" to make sure we had anything we might need. It was a short walk away from the ocean front which made for a great evening stroll. Loved it!

This was not quite what we expected BUT it is very good. Wonderful warm welcome, seamless check in and a lovely large room (not like some of the broom cupboards you can get). Everything in the room worked (👍), the shower was excellent and a lovely bed. Gas fire in the room to supplement the a/c and it was needed as the temp was only around 8C. No restaurant or bar but snacks, coffee, soft drinks all available at reception and recommendations given for multi national dinner options all within a 5 min drive.

The Sunset Inn is close enough to the ocean, you can walk. The rooms are small little bungalows and it is very well lit up at night. The town of Pacific Grove is a 5 minute drive.
