Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The staff was welcoming, room was clean and comfortable although the blinds need to be replaced. Overall, we were pleased and will be returning in October.
It is a very quiet area and nearby downtown. We could have stayed a few days here, it was very peaceful.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The place could be so much better but all the furnishing and especially the bed were cheap. The bed and bedding were completely worn out and I am not sure they were even clean.
The place was adorable and super cool vibe. Not super updated or fancy but very good for a cozy place to call home base while exploring the beaches. Will stay again. I like the upstairs little bungalow with a porch.
It's a nice quite setting. The bed and covering were not comfortable. Not a good sleep! The room price was very high but OK for Monterey Car week rip off...The shower was excellent! All in all we'd probably stay there again.
The room was very small for the cost. Also the room shown in the Expedia ad which caused me to rented the room was different than the one we received. When I spoke to the manager he indicated that there was some obscure warning in ads indicating your room may not be quite like this. This is in my mind very misleading and unfortunate. We rented a standard King size room.
The little cottage was very roomy and clean. Lighting in the kitchen could have been brighter and a jacuzzi would have been nice. Also I would paint the first step on the patio door, I did not see 2 steps and almost fell, the bush saved my fall
Perfect location if you want to stay in the Pacific Grove area. Close to coast and downtown. Great deal for a 2 bedroom for the night. Simple rooms and nothing fancy, but gets the job done for a night or two. Has a nice little kitchenette too.
