The pictures on the website are misleading. Our room had purple walls with blue paint dripping down one side. Every thing felt worn out and very dated. Tiny bathroom and stained towels. Seriously disappointing but grateful we only had to stay there for one night. The breakfast is minimal but fine. Good location is the only positive. Total let down. I'm surprised by all of the good reviews but maybe none of those folks stayed in the room we had. :(

Very disappointed with our stay. The photographs online make the overall condition of the Centrella look brand new compared to what it is. The building is run down, the walls in our room had flaking off paint, stains, and busted hardware. The bed was falling apart and the linens were all off white. On top of this the shower went from hot to cold every time someone flushed. We left feeling ripped off given how much we paid and comparing the cost to other similarly priced accommodations in Pacifica Grove. Only thing this place still has going for it is the location.

If you are looking for a bed and breakfast with nostalgia then look no further. The staff is very nice and courteous. The rooms have an attached bath. The room and the bathroom are small but adequate. There are no real frills. I did open the armoire to find a drying rack, ironing board, iron, and hair dryer. There are a few plugs in the room to charge phone. There is minimal counter space in the bathroom and sleeping room. It was my first B&B and i think that it was cute and welcoming and charming.

Built in 1892, the Centella Hotel is a beautiful Victorian, perfectly nestled in downtown Pacific Grove. Walk to Lover’s Point for a stroll on the beach or adventure through the rocky cliffs for breathtaking views. There are countless dining options within walking distance or enjoy the hotel’s complimentary breakfast.
