My husband and I ...

My husband and I love the cozy cottages they have. We have been coming here since 2021 for our anniversary. The area were its located is perfect for morning walks you see deer randomly walking around. And its walking distance to the beach. Very clean and very friendly staff. The only thing I can say is that they do not offer wine and snacks for night time cab as they did before the covid hit. We are staying here for our anniversary again in February. Can't wait, hopefully the weather is perfect as usual.

My room was better than expected for a 3-star hotel. The service was great and I greatly enjoyed the amenities like the heated pool and hot tub. Breakfast was a breakfast bag containing, in my opinion, a decently balanced meal. Service was great and had a wealth of information regarding dining experiences in the area.

I absolutely loved staying here! Everyone I spoke to was so professional and courteous and helpful. I love that they love dogs. My room was comfy and pretty. The location couldn’t be better, close to the coast and the entrance to 17-Mile Drive. Best of all, the rates were quite reasonable when I went in January.

We’ve stayed here 4 ...

We’ve stayed here 4 times in the last 4 years - it’s an excellent hotel for your stay if you are looking for something personable with a great location. The location is perfect - walking to the coast, short drive to pacific grove downtown. Quiet and peaceful - can often spot otters in the ocean on a morning walk. The staff are wonderful - kind, personable, and genuinely interested in guests. (Shout out to CJ!) The continental breakfast if you stay in the cottages is a nice option - although the coffee could be improved! The rooms have been slowly updated but you can still tell it has older hotel bones - for us, the location makes this totally worth it. Pet friendly too! On our last stay we forgot an important item - which they identified and coordinated with UPS to be shipped to us within 2 days!

My wife, daughter and ...

My wife, daughter and I have been staying at Lighthouse for over 4 years, and we would never stay anywhere else. The rooms are so cozy with a fireplace, a huge bathtub with jets, and a very comfortable bed. The beach is right down the road just a few minutes walk down the road and there is a hot tub and heated pool on site. What keeps us coming back is the customer service. Lex is always so accommodating with anything we need and is so nice to me and my family every time we visit. 5 stars we recommend Lighthouse Lodge and Cottages to anyone visiting Pacific Grove/Monterey.

Very impressed with the level of customer service. From the initial check in, to the deluxe suite and the amazing breakfast, the best place to enjoy your time in Pacifica. Not to mention the 5-7 minute walk to the ocean. Highly recommend booking your stay here!
