Beautiful old house with amazing views of the ocean and bay! Unfortunately our room had a bad musty smell and even with airing, every time we entered the room it hit us. No bellman so my husband had already carried our bags up the stairs.The pretty bed hangings looked so faded. Our shower needed grout to cover the black moldy areas. Don’t expect to feel pampered as no room cleaning/refreshing service. If you want more filtered water, take your bottle downstairs to be refilled. Ask for anything you need at the desk. Coffee (other than self service bag coffee) was only available in the dining room from 8 am til 10 am with breakfast. Starbucks is close by if you can’t wait. From 4 to 6 pm wine and bar cookies were served in the living rooms where the view was beautiful. Just before I left on my third morning they texted accusing me of having a dog in room because a maid had heard a dog. No dogs allowed except service dogs. No television to have on and I was sitting quietly in my room, so they should have checked more before accusing me of having a dog. The breakfast staff were great and very helpful. The food selection was large and the food was very good. The breakfast and breakfast room views did not disappoint! The garden areas were small but very pretty!

Beautiful bed and breakfast in a lovely area. Very convenient location, close to Monterey and Carmel. My only suggestion would be to add meat to the breakfast options.

The property offers exceptional coastal views from every room, complemented by impeccable housekeeping standards and superior bedding comfort. Guests can enjoy complimentary wine service featuring both red and white selections daily from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. While the establishment has character befitting its age, all amenities and facilities operate flawlessly, ensuring a seamless guest experience. -BCB

The property is beautiful. We had paid over what we normally pay for a room to get a boutique experience with a view for our 40th anniversary. While on vacation, I had an accident and broke my ankle in 3 places. I called hotel from emergency room to see if there was an elevator, there was not. I asked to be moved to a lower floor(we were on 2nd floor), they were full. It was late and we had a 6hr drive back home, so we had to stay. I made it up the stairs and down on my bum, in a lot of pain!!! What was most surprising, no one from hotel offered to see if there was anything we needed or were we ok or had we made it to our room. For a $800 a night hotel, I do feel that the customer service could have been better regarding this . The hotel is beautiful, just don’t break a bone, they will not be able to help in an emergency.

Unfortunately, the fireplace didn’t work and the bed was uncomfortable. But other than that, it was amazing. Definitely going back but with our own pillows.

Lovely boutique hotel with a great location and incredible views of Monterey bay. Beautiful design everywhere, from the lovely gardens to the lobby and rooms. You notice the high attention to detail in every corner. Excellent service too, from the receptionist at the check-in counter to the breakfast and cleaning staff. I would love to return for a longer stay soon.

I stayed at this hotel about 34 years ago, before they did a lot of expansion.The hotel is beautiful and the room was very pretty and it was oceanfront. The problem with oceanfront at this hotel is that the road in front of the hotel is extremely loud all the way through midnight. Also, I paid a little bit more for oceanfront with a fireplace, and it was a fake mantle with an electric light that looks like a fire. I just feel like this place is so nice, it would’ve been better to either advertise that that’s what it is or don’t do it at all. Many places in this area have actual fireplaces and I’m sure that there are rooms in this hotel that have actual fireplaces, but this looked very cheap and it really was nothing more than a light.

A lovely, picturesque, Victorian boutique hotel with the most amazing location and incredible views of Monterey Bay from the room. You notice the attention to every detail in the interior decor and the manicured gardens all around the property. Wonderful staff and service, great breakfast with healthy choices included. My husband and I enjoyed walking the coastal trail from Lover’s Point to historic Cannery Row and back to Pacific Grove, breathing the fresh air, watching the otters and other wildlife and lush vegetation around the path and stopping every few steps for yet another picture with incredible views. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel when visiting the Monterey area.
