My husband and I ...

My husband and I absolutely loved staying here! The woman working the counter was the sweetest lady, upgraded us to a king size bed without us asking for it. She let us know where we could find the firepits and gave us extra towels for the hot tub. The room was nice and clean and the environment was great! Would DEFINITELY come back!!!

We absolutely loved this ...

We absolutely loved this place. The front desk staff were exceptional. They were both incredibly helpful and cheerful, leaving a fantastic impression from start to finish.. We stayed in a cottage and were pleased with the accommodation. The property was quiet and clean, and we enjoyed watching deer feed every day from our patio. While there is some minor deferred maintenance, we believe the negative reviews stem from a desire for the amenities of a high-end hotel chain, but not wanting to pay those prices. The patio fireplaces were lit each night, creating a relaxing atmosphere to review our great day while enjoying a glass of wine and meeting other guests at the Inn. Breakfast was served at the time specified during check-in. All food was fresh, and hot items were continuously updated. We suggest improving the quality of the coffee. Folks in other reviews noted the graveyard nearby. At least the Inn's neighbors are quiet. We'll be back soon!

Clean room and quiet. ...

Clean room and quiet. Walking distance to coastal trail, lighthouse and Lucy’s for a yummy hotdog and ice cream. Would definitely recommend! King room upstairs. Deer everywhere so drive slowly.

Cute, quaint little spot; dog friendly w/ lots of area for them to potty. Fire pit is not on the property, have to walk across the way and over. Just a short walk or drive to the cutest restaurants and lovers point. Staff is very friendly.

We stayed at one ...

We stayed at one of the rooms by the outdoor fireplaces and we enjoyed it very much! The room, as well as the bathroom, was spacious and modern. It was a comfortable and cozy space with a fireplace and a small balcony. Lex took care of us during check in and he was very professional and super helpful. Thank you!!

I can’t understand why ...

I can’t understand why this place has such low ratings. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Monterey/Carmel/Pacific grove area. We stayed for two nights in one of the cottages and it was the perfect location for our trip. Close to both Monterey and Carmel, and a short walk down to the water. The cottage room was very clean and large, with a nice fireplace. The staff in the lobby were friendly and check in was easy. And lastly the hot breakfast included with our stay was delicious and convenient. The staff in the dining room were extremely nice as well. I recommend ignoring the poor reviews and giving this hotel a try!! 10/10 experience
