Hot tub was fun and had great jets. Annette was very nice and helpful as was Aaron when we checked in. The place just needs some TLC for the facilities. Also parking lot was filthy.

Annette, Michael and staff made me feel at home—they went the extra mile in any way I needed. I stayed for a week as its location was perfect for frequent walks to see the sunset at Asilomar coast. I plan to return on my next visit to see my family who live in Pacific Grove.

Bathroom was dirty. Toilet seat was stained and bath tub was not clean. I chose not to shower because of this and just waited until the next hotel on my road trip.

Cute place well located.

Quaint, older motel in a great location walkable to ocean and downtown Pacific Grove. I'd definitely stay there again but keep in mind, if it's hot you will be uncomfortable because there doesn't seem to be any air conditioning- just fans!

I only gave it 4 stars because the room didn’t have ac and I am a hot sleeper. I didn’t find the fan until the next morning. The hot tub was great and the room was comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I would stay here again.

I rarely review properties, however NO ONE SHOULD STAY at Monterey Peninsula Inn without knowing exactly what to expect. Lady at front desk was friendly, however the room - which we paid $390 to stay for 1 night was BEYOND DISGUSTING!!! Ill-fitting screens, a musky smell, banged up and scuffed furniture, baseboards, doors, and walls, faded bedding, non-working lamp, missing basic amenities such as kleenex. A shower that CREAKED!?! and you feared you would exit dirtier than when you got in! When you walked from one room to the next (we had a "cottage") the items (old mugs / ice bucket) on the refrigerator shook to where we put them on the RING STAINED countertop (that we wiped down with our travel clorox wipes) for fear they would fall off and break. THICK COBWEBS in ALL CORNERS and on the window "treatments". I have photos and video to document all this and will post once I figure out how to load them. The surrounding grounds and outside of the structure were no better - DILAPIDATED is the only word we can come up with. Have been fortunate to travel all around the world and have been to the Monterey Coast many times, this place hands down is the worst! We seriously contemplated just sleeping in the car and would have found another place had we not already paid in full!
