I am a picky traveler, do not think the photos here do justice to the cottage I stayed in, which was immaculate, newly and attactively reburbished and very quiet. The location within blocks from the gorgeous Monterey Coast, a beautiful municipal golf course, the 17-mile drive through Pebble Beach and over to Carmel, and within a short walk of ...
What a joke. The bed was covered in an old ratty comforter and underneath that was a ratty old thin blanket. The bed was very uncomfortable to say the least. The room smelled of soggy cornflakes and chlorine. The bathroom was very old and had only a shower (no tub) with a very low placed shower head. The in room coffee tasted old and stale. We ...
The smell was a cross between insecticide and incense. It permeated the bedding,the towels and the air. The water pressure was not, shower very worn out and dirty. There was sand on the floor near the entrance. The floor was very cold, making the room very uninviting. We arrived late and were tired, hoping it would appear better in the morning. The cost for the cottage mid-week was out of line for the condition and overall experience
My cousin & I along with her small dog stayed at the Lovely Sea Breeze Inn 4/9-11/08. Motel 6 takes pets but the locations on the Monterey Peninsula are quite undesireable. For a few dollars more we got a lovely location near the ocean a much nicer room & decor, extensive cable,continental breakfast, pool,hot tub, grassy area with picnic ...
This place was quaint. I believe it is officially classified as a two-star, and while the place is older and not as fancy as other places you might stay at, it is taken care of as well as it can be.
The good: the location is amazing. At the tip of Pacific Grove, you can get to the old lighthouse, to Cannery Row, and to 17-mile drive very ...
very nice location.the room was very big ,enough for four of us (2kids and 2 adults).the bathroom was old but very clean.I was expected a microwave and a fridge in the room but nothing.The breakfast was good ,not too much choice.the walls was so thin that we could hear the neighbors talking .We have had the room in sale but for me it doesn't worth the real price($119)
I was surprised that the price was so high $172 initially, then I pointed out that it was more than in the middle of July, the host graciously lowered it to $149.xx. (note to self: -- I didn't go through Expedia...)and it was explained that that was due to the Jazz Festival in Monterey. Albeit, most other places I had checked with were also as ...
The price was good for the area, but too much for the quality of the inn. The walls are paper thin and you could hear what was going on the in next room (not good when you have young children with you). There were multiple maintenance and cleaning issues as well (shower door latch broken, mold and mildew in shower and ceiling, towel bar pulling ...
I have to admit after reading some of the reviews here I was a little apprehensive, but boy were we (my boyfriend and I) pleasantly surprised. We stayed in one of the cottages (#115) and we were not disappointed one bit. It is a two star hotel, and in my opinion it is the high-end of that rating. So, if you are looking for a nice cozy place, I ...
I'll start with the pluses: Great location around the corner from 17 mile drive & a walk, albeit long, into the cute town of Pacific Grove. Although our unit was close to the rode, we didn't hear much vehicle noise. Maid service was quick & efficient but the tiny towels had a strong smell of bleach.
