Really beautiful Victorian inn on the ocean with a spectacular view of Monterey bay. We were in the china point room on the first floor, sitting slightly above a small garden. It’s small but quaint with a strong shower. Woke up to gorgeous sunrises over the big bay, rocky shore and pine trees through panoramic picture windows while lying on the bed. The public areas are nicely furnished. The grounds are immaculate. Street parking is easy. Staff is competent. Some are friendlier and more cheerful than others. All need a little training in looking at people when they talk to them instead of looking down or doing work which makes guests feel unimportant. The breakfast was just ok. The breakfast room had incredible views. But the food was average, which was surprising because they do make and bake some of it onsite. They need better recipes and ingredients but I think the corporate owner and current management have a cost down mentality. Same problem with the late afternoon (4 to 6 on the dot) wine. The room has great views. Check off the box for marketing but the wine itself was lower end and there was nothing to nosh with it. I know charcuterie boards are expensive but you could at least have Costco potato chips. Suggestion to guests: go to Trader Joe’s and buy your own happy hour snacks and share them with other disappointed guests. The cookies (bar, never had real cookies) come at 7 pm and run out within the hour. Nice inn but with some extras could be exceptional.

A welcoming greeting with a glass of bubbles. Room was small but well situated. Nice to have tea, water and coffee in the room. Bed was too soft for us. Their wine happy hour was delayed but that was okay because the wine was not that good. We had a nice view from our room. Definitely recommend. The parlor and other sitting areas of the Inn are beautiful. Gorgeous furniture, art work and treasures to admire. Breakfast was plentiful. Fruit, eggs, cereal etc… although vegetarian. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The freshly baked cookies in the evening a delicious treat!

Fantastic B&B, we only stayed for 1 night but wish we had left our previous location a day earlier to spend longer here. Everyone was so friendly and a lovely charming old house. Probably the comfiest bed I’ve slept on.
