This little place is quaint and quiet! The property owners contacted us before arrival and gave us the code for the room. The hot tub was nice but on the cooler side, the temperature needs a good 5 degree increase. The firepit area was cute and stayed on for as long as you want! I will definitely be booking here again!

Pretty typical lodging for Pacific Grove. I was expecting there to be a lot of noise but it was very quiet at night. No AC which you seldom need being so close to the coast. Having the in-room refrigerator was a blessing. Generally pretty clean but lime scale buildup on the shower head was kind of gross.

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.

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!
