I will probably update this review to add more 5 star pictures over the rest of my stay but I really don't understand the bad reviews at all. Our room has hard floors, no carpet (yes!!), microwave, fridge, lots of lovely details, comfy wonderful bed, lots of mirrors and areas to get dressed, a patio with chairs to enjoy coffee watching the deer in the cemetery. It's my absolute favorite among the Pacific Grove and Monterey hotels--quiet, a block from the ocean, with practically resident deer! No traffic or weird neighbors, it's amazing. We've stayed in the cottages as well as the lodge and both times we felt the room, fireplace, amenities, whirlpool tub, etc--depending on the room--were awesome. The fire pits are so romantic at night! There is fog rolling over the treetop and the lighthouse blinking like a movie set. Deer! Birds! Tidepools a block away. In the morning, darkening blinds to sleep in or get up and have coffee on your patio with deer. I really don't understand the negative reviews at all. Do people prefer... views of parking lots, roads, or random peoples yards... or the back of convenience stations--to charming beautiful old cemetery with deer 10 feet from your window? Or paying 300$ for motel 6 type rooms (Asilomar, which we loved despite the spartan rooms)? Literally no hotel looks exactly like the pictures-- not the SF Union Square Westin, not the Fairmont--hotels cant repaint everything for every stay. Folks were working so hard here and provided lovely service. The family running this place and staff, from phone booking to front desk to restaurant, have all been amazing to us on every occasion. Photos of deer taken from outside room, Room, cute bagged to go breakfast, and wildlife seen a block from hotel. Pool is WARM and hot tub was fantastic.

Everyone was very nice. Rooms were clean and very comfortable.

Great Studio room. Plenty of space for us and two dogs!

I understand the low rating came from the existence of a nearby cemetery, but during our stay it was way better than our expectations… from front office friendliness to room quality…. The hotel owner should probably consider building taller trees to block the view…

A beautiful, well maintained property run by friendly and helpful staff- we very much enjoyed our stay at the Lighthouse Lodge and Cottages, and would definitely recommend!

I called today to set up my reservation, and the gentleman who helped me was so kind and welcoming. If he wasn’t sure about something, he immediately found the answer for me. I’ve been a little nervous since I don’t know the area, but he made me feel excited about my trip. I’m looking forward to my visit. Thank you for everything so far!

Head stones are awesome

This hotel was an amazing experience for our family trip! The GM (Lex) on property was so friendly and went out of his way multiple times to ensure my kids had a memorable trip- the staff was very professional and nice as well- we would recommend this place to anyone.
