Nice location but he property is a bit run down and could use some TLC. The mattress and pillows were lumpy. We stayed on the lower level and it was NOISY - a steady stream of early morning garbage trucks and maintenance workers. Very limited breakfast.
Beautiful and clean. My girlfriend and I needed two beds. I called Desk and was told one of their Cottages would work with a Queen bedroom and a sofa bed. I told my friend I'd take the sofa- no problem! We arrived and I spent 2 very uncomfortable night on an old! Black leather Futon that was worse than being on a wood plank because it had a metal bar in the very middle. Two extra blankets did not help the distress. Miserable and I paid good money for this " sofa".
Other than this episode? I'd highly recommend this Charming Inn.
We had an amazing experience staying at this beautiful inn. We were lucky enough to arrive on the day of a farmers market just steps from the inn! It’s located in a very great area for walking, and truly enjoyed our overall service. Parking, although limited, was not an issue at all during our stay. Staff was accommodating, room was spacious (queen loft, seaside view). Would stay again!!
I loved this place. It had a historic bed and breakfast feel, but you get your own private room/bathroom. The area felt safe for walking and was nearby the shoreline and many eating options. Street parking was doable. The breakfast parfaits are incredible. Staff was friendly.
Nice neighborhood with signs noting the ages of the homes. Hotel was clean, quiet, and offered coffee and tea at all hours. Close to the shoreline trail.
This was our second time to stay at Centrella Hotel, and it will not be our last. The only downside was not their fault - there were just lots of noisy trucks going down the street in the middle of the night and early morning, and our room faced that street. We'll know to get a room on the side street next time.
It was cool to stay in a beautiful old cozy house. We walked to dinner and loved the area around the hotel. The yogurt parfait was sooo delicious! Thank you
We have stayed at the Centrella for many years when in Pacific Grove. Gorgeous location and good prices. I do miss the full breakfasts that we used to get at the Centrella. The garden room is very nice. However we had to ask for maid service and some of the supplies ran low such as kleenex, no shampoo, broken dispenser for conditioner.
