Liked the character of the place...very vintage and Victorian like. Our room was very warm and hot...didn't realize there was no air conditioning! By the evening the room cooled with the windows open and the fan going. The furniture and carpet were outdated...however the shower looks like it was renovated. Breakfast was okay..I would say a step down from continental. The location was good...walking distance to the ocean and close to restaurants and shops by car.

Beautiful Home

Absolutely loved this old Victorian house turned hotel. Beautiful antique furniture. Even a wardrobe rather than a closet. The front desk staff were friendly. The continental breakfast was just enough to start our day with a delicious Greek yogurt parfait. Location was within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and shopping. Would stay here again.

We’ve stayed in a lot of properties in California during a 2 1/2 weeks trip. And this was the worst. I knew the area as we stayed there the night before and I wanted to remain in the area but it was car week and hotel choices were limited. However, this did look good and the reviews were pretty decent however it was incredibly rundown. The towels were grey and thread bare. The bedding was also grey. The pillows were lumpy . The radiator was old and rusty. The blinds were old and need replacing. There was a kettle in the room but no cups or tea coffee and milk so I wasn’t too sure what I was supposed to do with it.! Couldn’t face breakfast so left as soon as we could

Lovely historic hotel in Pacific Grove

Great location and Pacific Grove is a lovely area to stay near Monterey. The Centrella Hotel is a historic hotel so facilities in the room are a little dated but still very comfortable. We needed to make the sofa bed up on arrival for teenage children but linen all in the room so quick to do. Good breakfast with delicious granola, although only starts at 8am which may be helpful to be aware of if booked on a 9am whale watching trip from Fisherman’s Wharf. Enjoyed the complimentary glass of wine relaxing in the hotel lounge. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The Inn was in an excellent location in Pacific Grove. There are many restaurants nearby and Lovers Point is just a couple of blocks away. The yogurt parfait was very good and pastries in the lobby. There is no elevator in this historic inn. Our unit slept 3 and was upstairs in the back. It was difficult for me, being elderly, to climb the stairs with luggage. Thank goodness my daughters were able to help me. I would recommend this inn for people with less mobility challenges. There is a ramp from parking to the first level, so if that is where your room is you will be fine.

Not good value for money

Good location with some lovely restaurants within walking distance and the exterior of the building is beautiful / historic but the inside really needs some attention (website photos are very flattering in my view) the room itself was pretty dingy, with marked paint, mirrors in broken frames, paint peeling on shutters etc. - it’s for potential but needs a bit of love! Also (disappointingly) in spite of mentioning dietary requirements no effort was made (and the breakfast in general was poor irrespective of requirements) - we ended up going somewhere else after the first morning in spite of paying for a room with breakfast included (bad coffee, “juice” which tasted very sugary and artificial, they had no butter/spread for toast and there was one tiny pot of grape jelly / jam we had to share because they’d run out, no non-dairy milks etc. All of this would be forgivable if it had been a cheap hotel but it was one of the more expensive hotels on our 3-week California trip and so far has easily been the lowest quality place we’ve stayed. I’m genuinely surprised by the high rating. I don’t normally like leaving negative reviews (I’d always prefer to provide feedback in person) but the staff didn’t seem hugely interested (certainly no apologies or attempts to rectify the breakfast situation) and we weren’t asked once whether everything was ok with our stay.
