The best part of this property is their manager who is a sweetheart and so kind. The hotel is quaint and comfortable and extremely clean. Not all rooms are the same but even through we didn’t have one of their better ones, it was a comfortable stay. We liked the continental breakfast and easy parking. Keep in mind that this area is pretty quiet and there is nothing to eat without driving 4-5 miles after 9pm.

The staff were very friendly and the property itself was very clean and nice. Each unit was separate with no upstairs noise creating a nice cabin type feel. Our room was newly remodeled with new floors, bathroom amenities with nice lighting and shower. Our room had everything we needed including extra blankets, ironing board, fireplace, ceiling fan, fridge and coffee maker. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice inn in Pacific Grove!

This was the absolute BEST hotel my husband and I have ever stayed at! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and it was clear that they took pride in their work. The room was impeccably clean- not a speck of dust anywhere! Having a functional shower that didn’t flood the bathroom, liquid soap, and an actual bathroom door that closed were nice perks too (as silly as those may sound). My husband and I loved the continental breakfast as well- it was perfect in the mornings! I also loved that the coffee machine was always available for use- we certainly got a lot of use out of it as it was quite chilly when we were visiting the area! My husband and I absolutely plan on staying here again someday, and we recommend it to everyone!

Sunset inn was perfect for our mini vacation just before 4th of July. It's located in Pacific Grove right by Asilomar walking distance to the beach. Very quiet and beautiful. We arrived just few minutes before check-in time. We're able to get our key almost right away though the room itself was not ready yet. The management team was very helpful and friendly. We're able to park our car right across our room. The little cottage is very dainty. It's fairly equipped with microwave, mini frig, fireplace. Bathroom is a bit small & lack of counter space. Overall a beautiful place and easy drive to Monterey, Carmel as well.

Already Planning Our Next Stay!

Nice stay at the Sunset Inn. Very clean. Friendly staff. Room was nicely updated and maintained. The common areas are super clean and very maintained. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was the free breakfast, would have liked to see better fruit selection like cut melon and a pastry or coffee cake instead of donuts. Overall, great place and we will definitely be back!!
