A nice quiet stay in Pacific Grove
We had a great 4 night stay. It’s an older building but beautifully maintained. It was very clean. It was only a 1 block walk from shopping and restaurants and very quiet. The breakfast was only bagels and muffins, etc. but the fruit and yogurt parfait was nice.

Amazing Staff & Beautiful Quaint Hotel
We stayed here for our son’s wedding. We absolutely loved this quaint hotel. The staff was amazing! We had 2 different bakeries drop off cookies and the wedding cake. The staff made sure to notify me when they arrived and kept them safe until we returned from our daily adventures. We loved the fact that you could walk to Lover’s Point, Monterey, shops and restaurants. We will definitely be back! The community of Pacific Grove was perfect! The flowers and succulents were beautiful. Cannot say enough about this hotel and area!

Big Surprise!
We had great expectations when booking a family room for four adults. Though showing 2 bedrooms, the reality was one BR, one living room half sofa bed which was unusable. Mentioned to their staff, no adequate answer except book the cottage and another avail room which we were forced to do for another $250. The half sofa was totally inadequate. We were NOT pleased, otherwise a nice place to stay

Such a cute, historical inn to stay! The rooms are pretty old, so factor that in, but very cute and rustic common rooms. Not much for breakfast, but there are many cute cafes nearby if you have any dietary restrictions like me. Loved exploring the inn with all the wintery lights!

Enjoyable getaway
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.

Lumpy mattress
Overall, the hotel is excellent. The staff was amazing; very friendly and attentive. We stayed in room #17 for 3 nights. It was small and lacked a placed to put your clothing. The armoire only had four hangers, but offered no place to put smaller clothing items. We found ourselves tripping over open suitcases. The mattress NEEDS to be replaced! It dipped in the middle and was very lumpy, which made for restless sleep for both of us.

Great Inn
This is our favorite place to stay when we go to Pacific Grove. The only thing we miss are the chocolate chip cookies each night and the scones they used to serve with a fruit parfait! We still get the fruit parfait which is delicious but the danishes are just ok.
