There was a Pro-Am happening in Pebble Beach during our one-night stay (Saturday), so the price for the cheapest room was almost five hundred including taxes (without parking or pet fees) - very overpriced for this property, so that is dictating my review. Overall, nice ambiance, dining options on-site and nearby, friendly staff, and proximity to local points of interest made this a nice option. However, the daily parking fee and pet fee along with extremely firm, uncomfortable mattresses and loud and bright street level room were not ennjoyable.

The service at the restaurant is painfully slow and the tv in our room made weird noises all night, regardless of whether the tv was on or not.
