We were in room 100. The microwave consistently blew the electrical strip making the oven unusable. There was also no thermostat control in the room. EV charging was only available from 8-11pm, which was not workable for us. The room was fine aside from the above, the location is great, and the staff was very friendly. I would probably try another spot in the area next time.

Room was a bit small for two people with large luggage. Had to use the table, which then meant we had no table, and the other was on luggage rack that partially obstructed opening the room door all the way.

Disliked: Staff & service
We showed up for our stay and were informed that Sunset Inn couldn't honor our reservation due to an electrical issue. We were offered a room at a sister property that looked like a lesser property and not very nice. We ended up going elsewhere. We paid in advance and now need to request a refund from Hotels.com. I'm still traveling and haven't had the time to do this. What a pain. The property we ended up at said they would've given us a much better deal if we'd called them directly. Exactly what I'll do next time. I've been a long-time patron of Hotels.com but no longer.

We were initially going to stay in downtown Monterey. So glad we stayed at this Pacific Grove property instead. Area is quiet, woodsy. We saw deer each morning and evening. The walk to the ocean, where you see magnificent sunsets when it's not too cloudy, is only about 3 blocks. Not a lot of restaurants to walk to, but a lot of nature to immerse yourself in. Property is bungalow-style. I was nervous that maybe the rooms were super tiny because there's no square footage included on the site, but the size was generous, maybe 300 sq. feet. We stayed in the Big Sur room, which easily fit 2 queen beds. The fireplace was wonderful. The bathroom, which looked tiny in pictures, was pretty large. There were 4 girls celebrating a weekend out next door. When we closed our windows, we barely heard them, so rooms are pretty well insulated. And I have to mention Richi, the manager. He made us feel so at home. When we mentioned we were there for our anniversary, he sent over a bottle of wine and a fruit and cheese plate. The breakfast is a continental one. They have oatmeal packets, yogurt, fruit, toast, english muffins, donuts, coffee and tea available, which actually filled us up enough to start our excursions without having to look for another breakfast location. If you're into ham and eggs and heavier fare, however, that might not work for you. Really great experience. I would definitely stay at the Sunset Inn again.

I cannot say enough about the incredible service from the owners of the Sunset Inn. I have never stayed somewhere with such attentiveness. As a single, female traveller, I felt very safe and secure. The owners also provided extremely helpful tips on what to do and where to eat. I would HIGHLY recommend!
